Wanting to set a campaign in Hell, or at least a Hellish setting. IK that Pathfinder and D&D have lower planes and a Hell setting but the systems themselves don't really give me what I'm looking for. Gibsme systems which make for tense gameplay and make the world seem like a hostile and evil place.

>>97924055Shadow of the Demon Lord would be my go-to if you want to keep in the d20 realm, it's got a book about its version of Hell as well. It's more lethal and horror-focused than either PF or D&D too so would fit the hostile vibe better.
>>97924055Depends. Do you want "safe-edgy" hell like it's depicted in normie fantasy, or do you want actual evil shit? Because >>97925173 is good for the latter.
>>97924059You wouldn't know what to do
>>97925314Knowing what to do is burden of those who take the lead. So I don't think Anon would need to worry...
>>97924055GURPSI don't mean it as a meme, characters die easily
>>97925304Would "death metal album cover" hell be a good medium?
>>97924055Are we talking combat or just over all living there? I've used 1994's Wraith: The Oblivion 10d system for hell campaigns with good reception from younger players but all three campaigns it was theater kids that could really get into Pathos and Corpus system it had, I'm not sure how a more traditional player would do with it. If you want more of a rip and tear combat experience >>97926791 has the right idea.
>>97924055I have a soft spot for the D&D 3.5 Fiendish Codex II - Tyrants of the Nine Hells.
>>97924055Isn't that just Ravenloft?
>>97926791>GURPS>characters die easilyWell, that's not necessarily true. It depends on a lot of factors. Dungeon Fantasy characters aren't that fragile, for example. The thing you actually have to keep track of is how much DR players have from armor and whatever compared to the damage of attacks and then compare that difference against their typical HP totals. This simple arithmetic swings wildly depending on your setting's Tech Level and the availability of magic and PCs' pointbuy and that kind of thing.So, it's just not necessarily true, and if you're doing a lot of homebrew you do need to keep an eye on it.
