What if the internet was a setting?
Websites will be like places, dungeons will be shady sites and loot will be warez.
What do you guys add?

So I guess Veeky Forums is hell

The Empire is slowly encroaching upon all the land, conquering it and imposing their draconian laws wherever their domain extends. Their propaganda corps is effective enough to turn their conquered populace fully against the few remaining bastions of freedom in the land, to the extent that any rebel cannot count at all on shelter in enemy territory.
Veeky Forums was one of the more-recently conquered provinces.

So are we talking something of a fantasy world based on the internet? Or literally a campaign of a bunch of people on their computers?
If the first, and websites are like nations, there's the weirdness that they really only compete with websites that perform a similar function, which can be difficult to translate to political terms.

Google will be a wicked villain since they paint such a friendly face for themselves.
Yes, a fantasy world based off the internet.
I don't imagine websites as nations but as buildings or places like hills or caves.

So Veeky Forums would be that underground complex where people in robes and masks go and meet each other, except one room has people trying to conjure a frog god, another has people sharing porn drawn on papyrus or stone tablets, and just about everywhere people are getting mad at each other?

Yeah, is a perfect description of what I had in mind

And showing your face or saying your name is seen as blasphemous, except for a hanful of people who earned the right to do it.

a setting that will be outdated and cringe inducing by the end of next year, this is on the same level of putting lolmemes in a campaign

What would all the porn be?

Every streaming content is a literal stream or sea.
The Tube ocean, the Hub River, the Motherless lake.

>Without pornography, I would still be a clunky, text-based interface obscured from mainstream adoption by the dense foliage of unfamiliar technology. We all know that pornography is the spur for mass acceptance. It has decided every media war: It killed beta and ushered in VHS. It murdered HD-DVD; it pimped out the digital camera--it has always been the decider, and the personal computer owes a great debt to it.
OP, I honestly believe the setting's map would combine pic related and this:

If you are into chinese cartoons, there is a film called Summer Wars that could give some inspiration, but it's more scifi than fantasy
Parker Parker
It's also basically a better remake of the second Digimon movie, so I guess you could just watch Digimon if you want a more-fantastical version of "what if the internet was a metaphysical space that could manifest in the real world with monsters and magical cards".

Sounds a lot like the MMBN series.
Sebastian Lewis
but BN never had specific websites as places, networks were always kind of generic.
