Im out of my depth hereTL;DR Im trying to learn how to run a setting I have no experience with. Looking for setting influence. -I would like some help with this concept, post apocalyptic science fantasy. The idea that the world was propelled forward by magic tremendously, but then cataclysmic events reset civilization, and now were living in the post era. Im used to running Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Lancer, but this new group has requested me to run fantasy for them. I agreed, but I told them I wanted to draw from influences that im familiar with, the closest comparison I can think of is the Televison Show Adventure Time where there was technology and then a fall, and now we have magic and some science tech. Disparate cities and no main governing body. -So, im looking to add to my influence, are there any pre existing settings ? Are there any fun things you've ever wanted to do along these lines ?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
If you like the Thundarr/Kamandi vibe check out Umerica. It's the US after some kind of catastrophe destroyed everything and gave us magic. It's pretty silly dumb with its references, like Disney has turned into an aztek style dead cult to the big headed gods they found there or Fort Knox is the only place that takes dollars because they think they have to keep them like pieces of art. It's dumb fun, but it has tables and mechanics for cars and tongue in cheek treassure that might help you if you want that tone.>>97263915If you want something like Nausicaa, Cloud Empress is pretty heavily inspired. It's more of a post-post apocalipse, a lot of the land is sustained in a very exploitative balance between nobles with old tech and villagers that farm most of the year and run from giant bugs during summer. But you can travel into the ruins of the old world and it's very clearly a futuristic scifi abandoned city.
>>97273075Maybe if it were made by a more intelligent boomer with good taste.
For inspiration find the old Thundar the Barbarian cartoon. It's got to be online someplace. RPG wise the games are Gamma World, Darwin's World, Mutant Crawl Chronicles, and Palladium Game's Rifts. If you want an interesting Post=Apoc setting there's The Morrow Project. FGU's Aftermath is a good one but I never really liked the game mechanics. (too complicaed). In a pinch shadowrun will work with no tech.
>>97269867Whew. That was a long list just to say "I don't know what I'm talking about."
>>97260477If you're already familiar with Lancer, take a look at ICON. Same creator, similar design, has roughly the sort of setting you're after.
What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97273683Jackals is pretty good. I own it as well, but I kind of like the presentation of an alternate historical fantasy. I like seeing what kind of tweeks the writers do to historical events in terms of how the fantasy elements affect them.
>>97270691I’m far more of a fan of the allotments system destined the supers supplement hasBut the encumberance system is very workable Especially if you have a VTT though it is clunky and it has worked for the post apoc game I’ve been running Heavily armoured PC’s especially if they are small have been able to carry less and have packed a lot of important equipment onto their vehicles or mounts There was also an alternative simplified encumberance system in the book but I don’t see that many pepole talk about it >>97270919Even when I used fixed initiative good armour in the hands of the PC’s can be a little strong at protecting them Though there are plenty of other ways to fuck with them such as entangling weapons and tripping, on crits the bypass armour combat effect also exists On a good damage roll 2h great weapons or large monsters can still be decently nasty to well armoured PC’s but that >>97269039Comment too long.

>>97268248BRP is hands down the best system ever made. It just fucking works.

>>97272739>>97276313i am a greek and have been waiting for such a book for years just because this would be the only way to get my friends into trying mythras. I was also kinda peeved that the only thing they did with byzantium was the fall of constantinople and not something earlier and more substantial.Warlords of Alexander is also excellent and thoroughly enjoyed it

>>97276340Good luck playing a dead game. Only Lewd Attack and Labyrinthus are those considered "active". The others are either finished or left there.
>>97243662I was about to download the latest update and I noticed that you've added stuff for Soul-tethering, which made me wonder...Some of these creatures used to belong to player facing races, have you considered supporting the player transforming into one of them, like someone becoming a Succubus or a Vampire or such.All it would really take is having XP costs for the relevant traits and feats, and maybe a framework to better come up with the rituals to do it (which would be useful to have as player objectives even if playing the monster itself were to fall beyond the scope of the game).In that vein, are there any plans to support controlled transformations on the part of the player? One idea I had for a character was a creepy mega-nerd alchemist (or mage who knows alchemy) in a journey to become a THE Tentacle Monster and I've found the lack of recipes for mutagens pretty disappointing.

>>97275206Tex is completely cringeworthy, but you gotta realize he'll never stray far from his safe zone of ancient SLDF history/Comstar memes.

>>97276076Fuck off. You're coming into this thread asking for people to defend an aspect of the game when you aren't even prepared to defend your reason for continuing to participate when you clearly aren't having fun. If you don't like something that's been integral to the game for almost a decade at this point, be normal and fucking play something else instead of coming into these communities kicking up a storm because other people are having more fun than you are.

Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games.

>>97228344If you're talking about the video I saw a while ago, the point was about making distinctive NPCs without having to prep or overthink. It's an important thing if you have the players interact with a lot of NPCs, for example when they are creating their keep and gather a bunch of followers in one go or if they want to interact with some powerful group like nobles or a merchant guild.
