I have started to like that motive, after reading a jietai kare no chi, kaku tatakeri manga. There is something really cool in taking the wizard out with a sniper rifle. Anyone else likes this motive ? Are there any books in such setting ? Which side wins the war ?

Fucking call it Gate.
Also, JSDF propaganda manga is harem bullshit, who knew?

Yeah it is. But defending a trench against Roman like era army looks so comfy.
Russia makes a shit ton of time travel books including modern tech vs. fantasy. None are good, though it's funny that the two most perpetually salty revanchist countries are most notable for producing superiority fantasies like that
I kind of like the idea personally, but I vastly prefer full-on modern (military) fantasy - modern tech versus fantasy has too much HFY for my tastes
Of course moderns win in most of the cases unless bullshit epic-level DnD wizards enter the scene

Did you tell your players about your idea already
You should do that before you bother planning anything.

Been a while since I've dwelled into mud's personally. Any recommendations?

Nothing personally - the one that I was playing on the regular just kind of shit itself and had a few super old players ragequit, but you can go to TMC and check out the better ones.

That's got a list of most of the active MUD's nowadays - a lot of them actually have fuckin decent playerbases.

Greetings elegan/t g/entlemen,
I come to you seeking guidance in my hour of need. I am in search of software to help me develop a new fantasy setting in extreme detail. My requirements are two-fold:
1) Height-mapping software. I need something that can help me simulate realistic geography (fractal based perhaps) down to the level of river flows and their effect on the land and the impact of natural disasters such as meteor strikes or volcanic eruptions. Added bonuses if the capability even exists would be basic A) systems of plate tectonics and B) weather systems...

The setting is generally low fantasy on the earth-like world (we'll call it Midgard until I come up with a better name). That being said the geography is royally fucked after the giant ass volcano at the juncture of a few continents blew its top and sank a lot of land into the sea, along with the predominant empire in the region. People believe that the previously dormant volcano is a stairway to heavan and it blew its top after some cunts decided to kill the Son of God (TM).
>>47473655
Now getting into the point of a working solar system. So while Midgard more or less follows the physics of our own world, the other planets play by their whole own set of rules. Now this is where magic comes into play. Mages are (incredibly rare) individuals that given a power source can play by the rules of physics/reality from another planet on Midgard. Now the nearer one of these planets orbits Midgard the more powerful the magic becomes. For example the 'death' planet comes near Midgard every at the...

Additionally the sun that the planets orbit is the heavan equivalent of this setting. I'm debating whether I want to have a second smaller sun as my 'hell,' dedicate a planet to it, or place it in the literal core of Midgard.
I hope you guys can give me some good recommendations. I can post more once I get home from the bar and have access to my notes if you would like.
Anybody have any more of these cool 3D isometric maps/dungeons?
Have you ever ran these as quick dungeon crawl modules?
I'm thinking of just winging a whole session with one of these, making shit up with random rolls behind my DM screen. Is that a good idea?

>I'm thinking of just winging a whole session with one of these, making shit up with random rolls behind my DM screen. Is that a good idea?
It could be. It would depend on the ruleset and your experience as a GM. I say, go for it.
>>47473288
They're primarily a gm wank
How do you put that out to the players as a tool or handout? Even on something like roll20 it's not functionally useful
>>47473363
They're a lot more useful than a 2D map if height matters in the dungeon, and for creating a better sense of what the place looks like.

How the hell do people explain half werewolves? Werewolves are cursed men that turn into a horrid beast at full moon. If they weren't cursed, magically shapeshifting or diseased, they would just be beastmen. How the hell does a half-werewolf work? How do you inherit half a curse or a disease, but not all of it? Do you just become little cursed? Are the werewolf genes supposed to be dominant if they can be inherited? Wouldn't that just make you a full werewolf regardless of your other parent?
>>47472259
it works like this
>I want superpowers
>I want bad-boy cred
>I want to not have any downsides
Then bam! You wind up writing nonsense like a half-werewolf or a WoD vampire.
What is a half-werewolf?
>>47472378
I guess the progeny of a werewolf and a non werewolf.
How that works is based entirely on the particulars of werewolves in your setting.

But I'm really creatively dull. Any ideas?
>>47471138
Best bet is to look up what each of the Major Arcana represents.
For example, the Tower is a sudden, violent change or end to something. Clearly, this would be a "Power Word: Kill" sort of spell.
Don't assume that a card's name has any relation to its meaning. Both Death and The Devil are fairly neutral-positive cards.
>>47471138
I think we all know what The World does...
>>47471657
No, no, do it the exact opposite way, take the literal meaning of the every card instead. Tower creates a tower, for instance.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!” It was…………………………………………………….Dumblydore!
Hello friends,
Looking for recommendation for a system that would be good to do a Dark Souls inspired campaign with. I'd prefer it to be narrative focused with less emphasis on stats and more on common sense mechanics and flexibility. I've heard Dungeon World is a good fit but I need more suggestions.
>narrative focused
What narrative? Dark Souls is all about exploration, finding things out, and interacting with the variety of memorable characters, not following a plot.
Anyway, to answer your question, look up Torchbearer. It's a dark fantasy game with a very strong focus on characterization (which I think may be what you meant by "narrative focused") and exploration. Its focus on lighting (hence the name) and morale may also mesh well with a Dark Souls-esque campaign. There's a healthy amount of combat maneuvers...

By Dark Souls inspired I meant via atmosphere, eg decaying world, few npcs, themes of cycles and rebirth, not lack of a strong narrative. Lordran is just one part of the world as well so I was thinking of incorporating other provinces from the Lore as well or making up similar scenarios.
And thanks for your suggestions! I'm looking for things that won't be too clunky to newer players, so GURPS might be a good fit albeit more work for me to fill in the blanks. I'll look into Torchbearer as well...
