Let's play a game: Describe an existing setting. Others first decide whether or not they want to play it and then try to guess what setting we're talking about.
I'll start:
>An alien race is successfully conquering the universe, colonising planet by planet.
>They share no biological resemblance with us, each alien is composed of energy and specifically created for a single purpose within the colony.
>However some of these aliens fail their purpose.
>The squad that was sent to colonise earth failed to do so and instead grew fond of the earth.
>The break off contact with the colony and use the advanced tools they have to start a rebellion.
>Humans are unaware of the war that has been started between the rebels and the colony, but the threat is looming.
Would you play it or not?
Pick unrelated
I would never play a setting that uses nickles as its primary coin!
>>46474621
So it's Steven universe just with what the Gems should have been instead of lesbian gems?
>>46474943
>lesbian gems
They are a single-sex race. I just described Steven Universe, because if you think about it you can't really call them lesbians.
>all of them has different persona
>but he is one guy
>he mess up all the time thouh
>>46474621
No, I wouldn't play SU.
>For hundreds of years, the tribes of your people have lived deep beneath the earth in caves and a great metal complex
>However, the land has slowly been becoming "sick"; in a recent quake, a wall of the metal place broke and revealed a cavernous room of unimaginable wonders
>A table of light and a man of metal showed a history of your people, claiming that you came from above the surface and lived amongst the stars
>And thus, your people leave for, toiling on a dying world to ascend to the heavens themselves.
> A world of pirates.
> So many pirates and anachronisms.
> Sea travel is required to go anywhere.
> If you eat the magic fruit that gives you super powers, you fail all swim checks.
>>46475643
Vaulters? Even if isn't, I'd totally play that.
>The hero of destiny went mad and took over the world, causing it to go to shit
>His children are turning into monsters, one was put after he changed too much.
>Normal people are either food or fighting a losing battle to survive in a dying world filled with flesh eating monsters.Its all a giant squid's fault.
>>46475886
come on
>>46475982
Yes, I would play a Legacy of Kain game.
> Near future setting. Human technology is fancier, but not massively so. Earth is ruled by a One World Government.
> An exploratory space mission results in jumpy humans initiating violent first contact with an Alien race possessed of incredible scientific capabilities.
> Earths' global security force, frontlined by it's colour-coded military police force, defend the Earth from the vengeful Aliens in the ensuing shadow-war of deception, infiltraion and espionage.
Fantasy WW1 just ended (with some WW2 mixed in) and the Fantasy 1920s/Cold War is now going on.
Go colonise not-Africa, do some politicking, maybe fist-fight on top of a magic-train.
>>46476432
Eberron
>>46476327
Playing as the WONDERFUL 101 sounds fun, but isn't it basically a Supers game playing through an alien-invasion scenario?
>>46476526
I was actually talking about Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons, but I appreciate that there are a lot of ''colour coded organisations defend the Earth from aliens'' storylines.
Choose your faction
>I don't discriminate, I hate everyone- xenos, abominations, humans who disagree...
>I just want to get back to trading, and so help me God I will nuke you if I have to.
>Let's mind rape the humans into loving us- poetic vengeance, right?
>I don't quite think that this is what we're supposed to be doing, guys...
>Let's burn this Galaxy and get out
>But maybe we can work with these people...
>>46476686
Sins of a Solar Empire is a cool setting, but the game would probably be written with TEC as the player faction.
>>46475886
One-Piece, correct? Never watched or read it, but it could be fun to pkay a fruity pirate
>>46476327
THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS. WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR US, EARTH MEN.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFSA0rfpSVM
>End of the world, as usual
>Elitist robots who refuse to move, bug people who only eat, sadist people who like pain
>Possessed armor thingies who dislike themselves
>Horned elves
>Winters are annoying
>Dwarves are tribals and centaurs are fat
>>46476710
I think it would work better more open ended- just set predominantly in TEC space.
I just want to be the psyker in the world where being a psyker doesn't mean high chances of my soul being demon chow.
Also, just exploring the setting more
>>46476734
Endless Legend. Definitely would play.
>High technology setting
>Cold war of infiltration, spying and assassination between factions of criminals, nobles and criminal nobles threatening to turn into a hot war.
>The leaders of one small but powerful faction have access to alien bioweapons.
>Everyone is Russian.
>aliens appear out of nowhere
>crush Earth's military in mere hours
>strip-mine the planet, drain the oceans
>herd civilians into massive cities
>unleash alien fauna across the planet
>the only resistance is led by some of the people who caused the invasion
>they believe a missing companion of theirs is basically the messiah
This one's easy.
>>46476824
Closest thing we're getting to a part 3, so yeah.
>Enormous passenger vessel is lost for years in a place which is impossible to escape.
>Supplies running out, but somehow the engines are still going.
>The lower decks have dissolved into anarchy, while something is brutally murdering the first class passengers and important crew one-by-one.
>>46476824
Would play, would love. Until episode 3.
>you live underground because the surface is populated by jerks in power armor
>you suddenly find super power armor underground and turns out you're really good at driving it
>you take to the surface, leaving your safe lives to join a ragtag group of rebels set on beating the surface jerks through yelling and bombastic manliness
>>46476991
What the hell do you think you're describing‽
>>46476991
Fallout. I want to do this.
>You're a small country who remains neutral in situations.
>Stuck between two extremely large countries in Not!Europe.
>Those two countries begin fighting over a rare resource which powers their shit.
>Leads to Not!World War II.
>One country invades your country for it.
>You're a civilian who must lead a Militia Force.
>Militia does a bunch of cool shit.
>You fight a wannabe Roman Emperor and an ancient witch.
Did I make this too obvious? I feel like it's too obvious...
>>46477116
I'm pretty sure it was actually Gurren Lagann. None of the Fallout games have you find PA before leaving the Vault.
>>46477127
Huh. Now I feel like an idiot.
>>46477127
>>46477138
Guess I should have read it more clearly. I thought it was Fallout, because I was reading too fast. Sorry.
>>46476892
Snowpiercer?
Standard issue fantasy world but with the following changes:
-low magic
-wizards are either put to death or recruited by the state as state wizards, and used as living siege weapons. they are rewarded with titles, fame, and wealth.
there is a magic field though ,and some magical metals react acordingly, the most notable magical invention is a rebound spring. a mechanicle contraption that winds itsself and is used as a powerplant for machines (think minor mechs, tanks) the rebound springs power output is reliant on temperature and design (so for instance a desert one doesnt work AT ALL/for shit in the cold north, a northern one runs on overdrive in the desert and will wreck itself unless kept cool enough
thematicly the game would run low-magic steam punk y, but with less steam
>>46477585
crap, my bad, had to be an existing setting, FUCK.
its not an existing setting
closest thing would be full metal alchemist...:/

You read Windup Girl?
>>46477070
>>46477127
>>46478259
You're all correct.
>Single planet contains an essential resource for space travel
>indigenous people trade the resource, but are oppressed by invading empire
>eventually indigenous population rises up against empire with the help of a traitor to the empire's cause
>Blue is an important color>MFW when Avatar and Dune have the same plot
>>46479320
Paul is no traitor, the empire betrayed him.
The players are mercenaries in a steampunk setting who are hired by a mysterious benefactor to try and save a devestated england which has been all but destroyed by a reality warping difference engine created from reverse engineered technology from the future.
Watch out for the Preacher, his perverse nature is not to be trusted.
Humanity, alien cultures, people from other dimensions and even gods themselves are retarded but so are their petty and uncaring heroes.
>>46474621
> well, I'm boned
>>46475886
Come on, fruits way too obvious. You couldn't even do something like this?
>a few of the people wield boons stolen from the devil of the seas - they are blessed with a unique supernatural power, but the devil will drag them down to death if they enter his domain
>>46477116
>Did I make this too obvious? I feel like it's too obvious...
I have absolutely no clue what's your setting, so no, not too obvious.
>>46481929
Oh yeah, forgot to throw in a setting
>a small portion of humans possess magical potential, however due to following circumstances, no grand wizarding community exists
>humans are practically unable to harness the magic themselves, instead it congeals into a personal demon inside of them
>should the human's willpower and will to live break down, the demon escapes and is free to roam the world as it pleases
>some of them take it up to find other gateway humans and spawn more of their kind by breaking their wills
>PCs are of the extremely few number that managed to reign in the demon at the crucial breakthrough, remaining whole and seizing control of it's magical power

>curses are known about and feared
>magic is strange and powerful
>contracts with demons are commonplace among wizards and witches
>>46474621
Took me a while.
OP, you forgot the bit where Earth is either far-future post-apocalyptic or an alternate history.
>>46484309
SU is confirmed to be alternate history. Hence Pennsylvania being named Keystone and the part of Maryland that the characters live in being the state of Del Marva.
>>46475028
Like the Asari, I suppose. I mean, they're mono-gendered and pansexual, but if you play FemShep then I guess Shep's the lesbian/bi in the relationship while the Asari's still pansexual, which is the norm for Asari.
>world populated by elemental monsters and god beasts
>humans have learned how to capture the elementals and harness their powers for various functions in civilization
>Multiple occult groups and terrorist organizations aim to use the godbeasts to rule the world
>Almost all adult males were killed in a mysterious war, resulting in kids as young as 10 being forced to take up arms

>>46484471
Oh cool, sauce on that? I just noticed that the American east coast in unexplored territory in the 1800s and most of Siberia is underwater.

>>46484861
Predates it by a few years, actually.

http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Earth
This is the best I got right now, iirc the creators said it in an interview or a Twitter post. Possibly on a blog.
The wiki is very accurate tho, and speculation is usually limited to talk pages.
>far future
>due to the political climate espionage and assassination are the go-to methods to get anything done

>>46483425
well everything about it except the first sentence would fit howl moving castle. Would play.
>>46476991
GURREN LAGANN!!
>>46484901
Correct Anon
>>46485117
>>46479320
Dune. Love it.
>>46485209
It was simply a little extrapolation from the fact that the prince was missing in howls moving castle, and that the prince said he would go back to his country and tell his king to end the war
>>46485198
Bravestar! Would play!
>post apocalypse, the world is slowly dying but people have lived with it for so long they don't even think about it. They are just focused on day to day survival and the occasional war. Until an alien with super strength shows up, unites several Nations and over turns the power structure that lasted for 1000s of years, and marries into royalty.
>>46485198
Shit yes I would play that.
i have an idea of a setting i would like to DM, tell me what you think guys, also forgive my lame english
>world similar to the dark ages of our world (from fall of rome to the end of the viking age)
>one night people all over the world, people of every race (all humans), every culture start having dreams of impossible monumental cities and strange lights that fall from the sky. The light shine in colour unknown to mankind
>dreams intensify over the months each time being more caothic, the monumental cities change and the buildings architecture becomes impossible, twisted. People starts hearing voices in their dreams that nobody can understand
>this goes on for seven years, with the dreams getting worse and worse, everyone deaming the same thing. Entire nations stay awake every night out of fear of their dreams
>one night after seven years a gargantuan creature appears in the sky. Covering it whole, a creature so indescribably horrible and so huge that everyone that sees it goes mad
>half of the world watches and loses their sanity while the creature swallows the sun
>the world falls into darkness and cold. Everything is silent
>after some times, mayde days, maybe weeks of chaos the perfect darkness is broken. The lights have come, shining with unknown colours and with them the earth trembles and a massive obelisk emerges from the sea, shining in the same unknown colours, bathing the world in a dim light
>with this light people can finally see what they already knew. The world have changed, the sun and the moon are no more and only the strange lights shine in the sky. There is no wind anymore and the trees are twisted, amorphous and grow taller than ever before with odd shaped leaves, they sway slowly all the time but there is no wind to move them and there are no animals to be seen (yet)
>>46485830
>the stars were right a few hundred years ago. Every one is insane now.
Not seeing much to do with this to be honest.
>>46486161
fantasy world, not this world
and not everyone would be insane, just most people
>>46486192
Everyone who looks up. If they have lazy eyes and fused neck bones I guess they're ok
>>46486394
maybe they where sleeping when the giant monster that made everyone insane came
>>46485547
John Carter?
>Setting divided along compass points into five seperate colour coded general areas.
>The East is the land populated by agrarian halflings. Recently freed after many years of bondage under an evil spellcaster.
>Her sister rules the land of the land to the west, whose people she has enslaved with numerous magic items.
>The South is home to a benevolent spellcaster, although most of the south is wild and untamed, occupied by monstrous spiders and bizarre headbutting dwarves.
>The north is unexplored, but ruled over by a kindly wizened old woman.
>In the middle lies a great city ruled over by a supposed great wizard.
>The whole setting is surrounded by a desert of petrifying sand. Flight is the only way in or out.
>>46487145
I refuse to follow the yellow brick road
>>46487341
You'll fucking die if you do that though. Everywhere off the road was fucking Bears with Tiger Heads, great chasms and poisonous flower fields.
What you should DEFINITELY not do is not start your attempt to escape via a hot-air balloon from LITERALLY THE WORST PLACE IN THE SETTING YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO SO, IE: RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Seriously. That guy is totally dead.
>>46476892
That's that one 2000AD comic, right? Titan or something.
>>46482093
It's a shame that world was so constrained by the events in the series, it would have been really interesting to see an expanded universe of that one.The series implies that the vast majority of demons were created all at once by a ritual used by the series' main villain, who is also one of the few major spell casters in the series.
>>46489602
Close, its "Leviathan".
>It's actually a shitton of settings!
>They're all terrible.
>But you're one of the rare few with the ability to travel between the different settings!
>>46474621
>The gods have gone missing
>People who were dead are coming back to life
>The entire world is collapsing into a single area
>Time itself is being bent out of shape
>The people who can fix it have either decided not to, or are too busy too
>All you can do is kill them, use their corpses, and hope for the best
>>46491098
>Magic: The Gathering
>>46491156
I suppose I made it too easy.
>>46491291
To be fair, you're pretty much spot on.
>>46482093
I never ended up finishing the series for other reasons, but I maintain that the beginning of that show was just fine and thatthe "death" of Phoenix was so fucking brilliant and different for a Rider series. Fuck yes I'd play.
>>46484744
I think it was a hamfisted way to be coy about the complete absence of all but one MC's father from the series. The lone exception being Norman, of course.
Here's mine.
>present day, business as usual
>suddenly, an ancient threat arises from a remote portion of the world
>threat makes its presence known as one monstrous member of the race sets its sights on the city
>if left unchecked, it and its future brood will wipe out humanity
>only hope for salvation rests in a giant construct from an ancient civilization previously wiped out by the the threat
>this hero has an inexplicable connection to one human child
>>46491589I still argue they could have brought Phoenix back at some point, either as the end boss or as a movie villain, though I imagine it would take him a while to revive enough times to withstand being kicked into the sun... Also, whenever Haruto got to be sassy was good too. Honestly, if they had ditched Shunpei and Koyomi and let Haruto just remain perpetually sassy that series would have been a lot better.
>>46491525
Hey, the new Ravenloft block's totally cool and original!
>>46492306
Yeah, Lovecraftian horror in a gothic horror setting is a totally new idea no one has done before!
>a post-apocalyptic game with heavy cyberpunk overtones
>95% of the human race died to the WMD's of rampant AI's

METAL GEAR?
>>46492541
Half life?
>>46492406
Eclipse phase?
>>46492541
>>46492944
It's actually Resistance (3).
>>46479320
Pfft...unobtanium isn't essential for space travel.
That would imply it has a purpose, which would imply anyone spent more than forty eight seconds on the script.
>>46491136
...The setting is 4chan?
>>46491136
Dark Souls
>>46491847
Yeah, sassy Haruto is the best.
Just him, Nitoh and srsmode Rinko.

Is that Geist? I know literally nothing about that setting.
>>46475028
It depends on whether you're in-universe or out.
If you're in the SU world, then yeah, being a single-gender species precludes lesbianism.
If you're a real person watching the show... yeah, they're totally lesbians. The show's lore doesn't really matter, it's perfectly clear what they're meant to represent.

No.

Dr. Who, easy
>>46476785
CiV beyond earth?
>>46492406
Eclipse Phase, I guess
>>46490779
Well yeah, but for expanded universe, I'd have Phantoms be all over the world, but very rare. Eclipse ritual creates an unnaturally high concentration of them in one place, also seeding more Gates with the excess magic spewing all over.
And of course the PCs aren't necessarily as nice as Haruto was and may well decide to try and make more wizards...
>>46475643
Gurren Lagaan, would play for that fighting spirit.
>>46490982
Oh!
I read that one

>>46497647
Eh, the mechas in that are too goofy.
>>46497647
Power Rangers?
>>46480499
Marvel!
No, no... DC?
>>46482267
That's what I thought.
>>46485209
>except the first sentence
>mfw you never watched the ending
>>46491098
Kingdom Hearts
>>46495819
Child of Eden
Loved. Would play.
>>46498031
Yeah. I'm actually thinking of running either an explicitly Power Rangers game or a thinly veiled version of Power Rangers at some point soon.
>PCs are a group of superheroes with varied powers battling like villains, in a quasi sci-fi fantasy setting. The limits of magic and science are loosely defined and mostly depends on the plot.

Would you?
>>46502361
>But I believe Aang can save the world! *tuuuutuuuututuuuuu!*
Yeah I would, but only if there's a balanced system that makes technique-improvement fun and not overpowered.
>>46502409
It seems like my master-plan has worked, and you fell right into my trap. See, I expected you would say that, and so I intentionally tricked you into believing I was talking about that particular setting, but in fact, I was not! And now you are withing my grasp. Like a little fish, caught in a spider-web. Checkmate.
>>46502505
Nonsense, you do not have another setting which matches that description so perfectlyor else I would be highly suspicious of plagiarising writers.
>>46502047
These guys

I do, and it'sStormlight Archive.To be fair, my description was intentionally vague, to make it fit both settings.

I'd post one of those 'impressive-clap' gifs if I had one, well done.

Does the setting in spoiler tags have stories set in a more boring future age where the characters are shitty and the creator just gives in to shippers? Asking for a friend.

Dark Souls
>>46515995
Yes.
I mean, you got pretty close genre-wise.
It'sKamen Rider Double.
Children are forced to play a game that creates new universes or face annihilation. The game is based on many high fantasy cliches, with a classic war between good and evil and standard fantasy classes and powers, but with some science fiction twists, such as the presence of large amounts of advanced, near-incomprehensible technology and time travel. As the game progresses, the players face increasingly difficult enemies, time shenanigans, and increasingly impossible odds as they race against the clock to prevent the destruction of their universe seed. Hopefully, they come to learn something about themselves and each other as well. Many of these games fail, but a few succeed with the players becoming rulers of the new universe.

It is the story to Child of Eden but it can also be seen as the story of a few other things.
>the album Genki Rockets I: Heavenly Star introduces the character and story, and it's Lumi's first album at age 17 in 2037
>Lumi's first album is popular in the story of No More Heroes which is in a somewhat near future setting
>Child of Eden and Rez are part of the same story
>though a stretch, the Lumines franchise may also be related to Child of Eden and Rez because of the art style and the inclusion of the song Heavenly Star
>the album Genki Rockets II: No Border Between Us came out with Child of Eden and due to its change in general lyrics and visuals may suggest its supposed to have been created by a revived Lumi
