Gettysburg and Waterloo.
WW 1 or 2 where everyone did not want to play germans.

Id love to play in a cold war type game, proxy states and wars, political social and economic outcomes to pur actions that are hard to predict.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident is a whole lot less mysterious when you learn about hypothermia and paradoxical undressing.

I downloaded the two games, both movies, and the entire TV show in preparation for creating an RPG of this. I'm pretty desperate to do it but where's the time?You're lying if you didn't feel exactly the same as I do after seeing Legacy

The setting and tone of the first few Studio Ghibli films, specifically Nausicaa and Castle in The Sky.
That awesome Heavy Metal-esque aesthetic with the riveted-together planes driven by ion engines, the feeling of real freedom in the sky as you leave the world's problems below you.
The Gentlemen Bastard series by Scott Lynch.
I've plagiarised so much from the books for my home-brew already I practically have in all but name.

My old DM actually ran his setting in the Fighting Fantasy, with the Greyhawk gods grafted on. It was pretty awesome.The campaign died as we were running Deathtrap Dungeon, though.

Yeah, it explains how their bodies were full of radiation, not to mention the blows they had suffered only internally without any soft tissue being destroyed.
The whole thing is probably some failed or maybe successful weapon test by the russian military. Russians did some fucked up shit back then.
>>44738975
>Khare, cityport of traps
What kind of traps are we talking here?
>>44752356
The injuries were consistent with being hit by an avalanche and the radiation angle was added by jurnos after all the other 'mystery' elements had been explained. No UFOs here, not LMs nor SMs.
Speaking of, I've thought about doing a game based on the Jessup/Varo version of The Case For UFOs. The idea that the red spot on Jupiter is a crashed spacecraft would be the main plot hook. I'd run it as a slow placed mystery as the PCs travel to Jupiter to study what they think is a meteological feature but turns out to be a spaceship made of stone and magnets. Might be hard to not give of Alien or 2001 vibes though.
