Tell me about your weird war setting/gengen/
Is that user still working on the Shadowrun conversion?
No general question, 0/10 would not shitpost.
Help me find motivation, /gengen/, when I heard about the system, I fell into the trap of thinking up all the settings I want to run with it, things that don't quite fit other systems etc.
Then I sit down to start building the settings, and all my motivation evaporates and all my ideas sound dumb now.
There's gotta be something that sticks, right? Maybe you just need someone else to bounce the ideas off of?
I don't even know, maybe. And no, none of them really stuck. Which is a pretty good indication they're just flash in the pan concepts.
You never know. Sound off here, and we'll see if you can't get something to work with.
Alright, well here we go:
Idea 1) Appalachian Fantasy, inspired in equal parts by Manly Wade Wellman's John the Balladeer stories, the Hillbilly comic series, and Folklore of the Ozarks. Witches and folk monsters as antagonists, secluded homesteads and walled villages, Circuit Riders and fiddlers wandering between. Melancholic, but I don't want to call it 'Dark Fantasy' because you're just as likely to encounter a Leprechaun as you are Old Scratch.
2) Stargate: WW2. Alt universe playing on the fact those dimension hopping mirrors exist.
3) Renaissance Era Spec Ops, in a humanocentric fantasy setting. Special military force answering to the head of a citystate ferreting out sedition, demon-worshipping cultists, and tax evaders while at war with !Russia and !Greece
3) Vancian style sci-fantasy on a future Mars.
4) Something like Changeling or Over the Garden Wall.
5) Golden Age Sci-fi / pulp film noir, set in the floating cities of Venus. Possibly everyone is robots.
>1)
I like it, but needs some more polishing. How does magic work?
>2)
Eh. Sci-Fi WWII is a little played out, IMO.
>3)
My favorite of the proposed settings by far. Definitely has the most potential for adventuring, at least. Throwing in minor steampunk elements might be fun too.
>3.1)
Eh.
>4)
Could be interesting, but would need more work to flesh out in Genesys.
>5)
I like the idea of Golden Age Sci-Fi / Pulp Film, but limiting it to Venus + Robots hampers its potential, IMO.
So 1 is the Weird West, expect replace "West" with "American mountain range." It could work.
