Why are there so few rpgs based on modern settings?
>>96655749Care to list why you dont like the current crop of modern games?
>>96655749Boring.
>>96655749Because you're yet another tourist whi thinks D&D is the entire hobby and has never even tried to look for anything else.
Why not just use D&D 5e for a modern game? You could just reflavor crossbows as guns. It'd work pretty well.
>>96655749Hello fellow gamers, how do you do?
>>96655749Assuming this is true, it's likely because there isn't an audience for them.This is the reason why anything niche remains a niche, because there isn't enough of an audience for them.So, instead of wondering why someone else hasn't made what you want, how about you just make what you want, like everyone else in the TTRPG hobby does?
>>96655942Vomit.
>>96655942>Why not just use D&D 5eThe list of reasons is so l9ng I could reply in this thread 100 times and not cover them all. D&D 5e is pure dogshit. If you're going to use D&D, at least use AD&D or an OSR hack, to escape all the enshittification inflicted by Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.
>>96655749You can just join the Ukraine war if you're into this setting
>>96655942Kill yourself tranny. 5e is already bad at things it was designed to do, trying to use it for anything else requires negative IQ.
>>96655979I don't see the problem. You could even reflavor spells, too. Fireball could be a grenade, and Messages could be like a radio or phone or something.
>>96655749Because you can just go out and shoot a real person.
>>96655749>I want to play a game about socializing with other people in my peer group and doing stuffGo outside and do that.>I want to play hyper realistic milsim autism that replicates what it's like to be in a war with no consequencesPlay vidya.>I want to command an entire armyPlay war games.
We legitimately had more modern era TTRPGs before obama made the economic poo in the bed instead of the loo
>>96655749trick question, any RPG based on the modern day would be outdated the second it was released. You also don't need a sourcebook for the contemporary world your living in, there's such an insane amount of information about that already.Plenty of game rules can handle the mechanical issues that could arise in a modern setting and the rest is just roleplaying
>>96656812Not sure if retarded, or retarded and trolling. Either way, extremely gay.
>>96656812Man, sucks my """radio""" stops working after three uses until I get some sleep to recharge it somehow.Nevermind, I'm playing a Fighter so I get to use """radios""" or """grenades anyway.Yeah, please go back to videogames and stay there. People like you ruin this hobby with your unfathomable stupidity.
>>96655942>oh you want to play catan? Why don't you just play monopoly? You can reflavor the properties as hexes
>>96655749Wut?>Delta Green>Call of Cthulhu>Fear Itself>Esoterrorists>Nights Black Agents>Everyday Heroes>Unknown Armies>Any WoD game>Kult>OutgunnedThat's just off the top of my head. Not to mention any universal game could easily be used to run something in the modern day with zero effort.
>>96655749People don't appreciate nor idealize what's all too familiar to them. There should be more attention to spec ops and espionage games. Imagine running a mecha or military campaign in the Middle East, taking out some insurgents, infiltrating the enemy base like in Argo, fighting for geopolitical strategic interests, oil reserves, petrodollar, you name it nyuggah
>>96655749Slop thread
>>96656936That's a good point. I guess you could just say that everyone has to play some kind of spellcaster class or subclass to use moderate technology, so like at least the Arcane Trickster or Eldritch Knight so they have some basics tech. I wondered what Mage Hand could be? Maybe like a grappling hook or something?
>>96657116This, OP just started with false assumptions. Probably just wanted a list like this.Would Twilight 2000, TMNT, D20 Modern and similar games set in alternate modern times count? Wasn't there also some game about African conflicts?
>>96655942I prefer 3e
>>96657116>Esoterroristswho wants to play a game where you're just some invincible anonymous hyper-conspiracy that can't lose because even if you die infinitely more humans will take over in your place?
>>96660196Why are you getting mad about a game that you've obviously never read?
