The PCs must restore the power of the four crystals to defeat the Dark Lord. What should I base the four crystals upon, instead of the four elements?

If you are going to be building all the stuff for the setting anyway I'd say GURPS. Especially since you can use both tactical and range band rules from Spaceships as needed.

If you want do it in Mekton this is probably the best starting point

But you still need to build all the stuff yourself.

/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME
IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :

Also, during a discussion last evening I was reminded of Two Years of Vacation, one of my favorite Jules Verne novel. I thought for a moment that we could make a Lost Boys mini-faction out of it, but it could also be a simple profile for the Lost Men?
This has also sent me into a Barenstein Bear situation, I swear there was a French animation shows from the late 80s I used to watch all the time, and all I can find are "the Story of 15 Boys", which is an American animation based on the novel and I swear I recognize some parts but not others, and there's no way my 6~7 years old was watching this in English...

While we're on the topic, I remember some sort of Osamu Tezuka era looking anime about a barbarian boy in the Ice Age. There was a pet bear, some sort of ice witch, and the climax was a bunch of cavemen throwing torches at a mammoth made of a blizzard. That's Agartha-ish enough for me to bring it up. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>PCs are now infused with Nostalgia, or the lingering effects of intense longing and loss (ie, magic is based on emotion and can soak into things.)
My questions and concerns have been answered, and people are by all means allowed to use this thread to ask their own questions about GMing, but I've been chewing on this particular bit of the scene and I'm trying to figure out a good approach. This would be one of the few "storyfag" scenes in the session where things are mostly expository, but I've got a few different directions I can take this.

>The PCs are hit with the "nostalgia" of the main villain, who yearns to restore the pre-magical world after losing the best years of his life to a pointless conflict
>The PCs very briefly meet the fetal god-child who lives within the magical star (known as Revelation) that is effectively using the planet as a placenta (the main villain is, obviously, looking to poison the god-child with an overflow of negative energies.)
>The PCs get a flash back to their own yearnings, just about to indulge in them before the vision ends
>The PCs are hit with the "nostalgia" of the artifacts around them

The effort here is to get the PCs, and players, aware that something greater than a simple warehouse burglary is going on, and *ideally* establish the PCs as "unique" and thus valuable for people with authority. Yet that raises another question; what exactly did the PCs "get" besides a vision?

This is all the yapping of a GM, you know how these ruminations can get.
>>
>>97336156
the first session's always the hardest because you actually need to build rails for the players to launch off of, afterward it's as simple as asking the players at the end of the session what they'd like to do next (they may require some prompting) and then prepare for them to do that with associated encounters etc.
first session should probably be spent establishing the sides with the players meet-and-greeting with people on their side and throwing hands with their opponents in line with your campaign pitch.

I like the army of little naked berserker priests. Don't get my wrong, I like armored dwarfs too but I'm really hoping they don't trash the whole identity of fyrelsayers just to appeal to more generic fantasy tropes. We've already got that in old world. I like sigmar for being more out there and extreme with its armies

3.PF or OSR/adjacent.
5e occupies an awkward middleground for me. If I want something streamlined with a bit of character customization for modern sensibilities, I would go lighter than 5e and probably pick Worlds Without Number.

If I want more mechanical depth in exchange for prep taking 20-30% longer, I would play 3.PF. It is crunchier, it is tedious getting key numbers pre-computed, but swapping out some feats can provide a lot of tactical variety to enemies. The skills can be a bit tedious and specific, but there are UA variations you can use to simplify.

Problem is you need to do it to a good chunk of spell list. And considering how many spells WoTC churned out it's a fucking pain in the ass.

the real answer is just about any horror game you can run with humans that is relatively lethal would work for the mist. I'm just throwing out one that doesn't get as much love. But Call of Cthulhu or Fear Itself or, hell, even baseline WoD would probably work just as well.

I sometimes skim the HG, I remember the ayytech shut off right after the MiGo got scared and fucked off, and most MJ12 tech was based off that, but Observer Effect contradicts that pretty blatantly. If MJ12's mass-surveillance tech was partially in-house and not just them entirely relying on the greys' Report, they may have their own version of PRISM that was running on the same shit as what was in Observer Effect that the Program has themselves now, and March might have a knockoff of
Even if they don't have a greytech PRISM serverfarm running, the KIY part of the setting mentions "subroutines" running on automated USG servers on DG's authority to watch the internet and USG intranets for signs of Yellow, and GT directly states Conradin's network got flagged internally by similar shit in the 00's after DG pushed their own tracking-software into Patriot Act systems
>>
>>97353289
they use 'a program algorithm flagged such-and-such' as part of the hook fairly often from what i recall, they're at the least on par with irl data snooping surveillance capabilities and probably beyond it. suspicious location updates from a random smartwatch is used in one, iirc.
