Hey Legendary people! I’m starting work on a new campaign setting for OL based on the modern day where fantasy and magical creatures are becoming common. Inspirations are Shadowrun, D&D and lots of great TV/movies like Stranger Things, Buffy, X-Files, Dr. Strange, etc
Maintaining two documents sucks, but I’ve found a Google Doc of written content is a great way to minimize the difficulty in providing feedback, thereby maximizing the amount of it you’ll get.
So, keep the website materials in a Google Doc to enable easy comment tags? Sounds good. I don’t think I’d want to host that link on the website but maybe link it here?
Adding yet more content to this blog.
Started a series of articles detailing the player races and describing them, getting away from our usual tropes and giving them a little more OL oomph!
Also, some new setting details as people react to the idea of magic and the Boss NPC The Polluted Dragon!
I actually started on a sort of similar setting a few weeks back. It’s more about fantastical beasts and legends but also set in a “modern” 1900-1930 setting. In my case the whole mythical world is still super secret and i wanted to do some sort of “Tomb Raider-ish” Adventures first and foremost. So like going out in to the wildest craziest places on the back of some esoteric research and finding amazing things.
But the ideas in your blog are amazing!
Now I really want to flesh out some the secret, mythical societies in the “established World”.
It’s open to the community; please use as you like. Also, if you have any ideas, I’m interested in hearing them!
I like your setting concept! It sounds like it will be a lot of fun! My major inspiration was Shadowrun with the idea that magic is ‘out there’, so I am thinking about what the world would be like if everyone knew there was magic.
I appreciate you giving your feedback!
