'Nuff said.

Too bad I haven't found any pdfs related. Any at all... I R SAD

Dominions 3.

a magic science setting

A low fantasy campaign where incredibly vast underground ruins have been discovered beneath a swamp and river delta. Much of it is partially or fully flooded, but efforts are being made to pump it out. Adventurers occasionally venture in, and some even find valuable artifacts which earn them wealth, and has caused more and more people to arrive and set up in the stilt towns and floating villages around the entrances.

Sort of like the gold rush, but instead of gold it's relics from ancient history, that may or may not allow people to work magic again.

fuck it megaman legends.

So what I did was I had all of my friends stat each other in Modern d20. Then I would sit them down at a table and say:

"You're sitting at my dining room table playing D&D when suddenly you hear a crash outside."

This would turn out to be a zombie (as I statted using Max Brooks' book). The campaign would be them trying to escape Bangkok with as many of our friends and family as they could. The goal was to eventually have them try to reach Singapore. I had prepared maps and routes and all sorts of twists and backup plans and characters so that if one of them actually died, they could play another one of our friends.

Of course, that was all on the surface: this was only the beginning. I was planning to eventually have the zombies be coming from another world, a fantasy realm where they would have to switch over to 3.5 rules as they all try to find a way to stop the incursion of undead and save both worlds, possibly even sacrificing themselves and their loved ones in the process.


We never started the campaign...

Space-opera Changeling: The Dreaming.

U mad?

I already rolled up my character.

Alternate WWII type setting something like Gear Krieg meets Hellboy. Walking tanks and eldritch super soldier programs.

>>7109020
I think I saw a net based setting called weird wars a few years back it might still be out there man, Hurry find it!

>>7109001
I was thinking a little more medieval fantasy, dude.

Cortex Command setting.

Sure, the winters lately have been bad. But now? The swampland of NeverThoughtOfAName didn't even thaw this summer. In less than a generation NeverThoughtOfAName has gone from tropical bayou to arctic hell.

The peasants toil in their hovels, barely clinging to life with the aid of local bokor, and slip further each day from the spirits that keep their fires lit and their food growing. Terrible creatures strike from the cold without reason or mercy. What might be a struggling but stable village one week can be a ravaged ruin the next; nothing taken, everything broken, no one missing, everyone dead, mourned only by the relentless chill.

The rich magi, on the other side of the social spectrum, deny the problem. They hole up in their cities and their opulence with gates barred and wards raised, warmly and luxuriously insulated from problems that aren't theirs. When they need to travel (to another city, of course), they teleport there directly - magic can be replaced. Illusions of normalcy can't. One day the cities too will begin to fall, but by then it will likely be too late.

tl;dr Ergo Proxy in a cajun swamp, with a heavy dash of Mardi Gras themed Masque of the Red Death.

Possibly....no I'm mad no doubt.

Sounds like just before the French revolution.

Me likey.

Dundee could totally be medievalized. His hat has teeth in it, fer chrissakes.

His primary weapons would be GRAPPLING (CROCODILE) and YOU CALL THAT A KNIFE? Totally kosher.

... or maybe the setting of Grendel: War child

either way, a weird mix of everything

French colonizing of Canada. Maybe later, attempting to show the British on the Plains of Abraham. Pic not especially related.

Each player race is represented by the seven deadly sins. Each race has one sin that they embody, and another causing their downfall. It can't be the same one, because "they were jerks and then we realized it" doesn't make for an interesting race.

Sins: Pride, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth

Races:

Elves (Sloth, Pride): Elves are famed for having powerful empires, living for nearly ever, and still never managing to do a damn thing. Elfish defeat happens when a threat they can't handle eventually arises, and they're too proud to accept aid from the "lesser races" until their civilization comes crashing down around their perfect, pointy ears.

Orcs (Wrath, Lust): Orcs are, most of the time, your standard Proud Warrior Race, continually at war with everyone they contact. Their failing is Lust - surrender to emotional urges, e.g. the rape and pillage they leave behind and complete inability for diplomacy. Orcish incursions are usually halted by alliances of convenience, whose members would gladly kill each other in other circumstances, but are united against the depredations of the orcs.

Humans (Greed, Wrath): Humans (generic fantasy humans, at least) are the despoilers of the fantasy realm. If there's heavy industry to be had, humans are the ones doing it. Business is business, and business must grow! Strangely, though other races bitch CONSTANTLY about human depredations, they never actually get off their ass and do anything about it unless humans are the aggressors. And when humans are aggressors, they don't fuck around. We're talking scorched earth aggression here.

Dwarves (Pride, Greed): Dwarves are at their best when they take pride in their work and their families\clans\etc. However, Dwarves inevitably dig too deep and too greedily, unearthing forgotten terrors they cannot cope with.

Goblins (Envy, Gluttony): Their childlike desire for shiny baubles can be charming, but give one goblin what he wants and a hundred of his cousins will be beating down your door.

Giants (Gluttony, Sloth):

Nymphs (Lust, Envy):

Hobgoblin (Pride, Gluttony): Hobgoblin military and cultural might comes from the unified belief of the hobgoblins in the superiority of their people, their cause, and themselves. It is ironic, then, that hobgoblin civilization crumbles when it gets too powerful, as the conflicting desires of its constituents devolve into a decadent free-for-all. Imaging the Roman Empire on fast forward, and looped.

I wish Minus had never been canceled. :[

>>7109315
Pretty much any Minus plot can make a damn good campaign. The PCs don't expect to fail and Minus never does.

>>7109315
To be fair, it wasn't canceled, it just hit the end. And it was a nice end.

>>7109371
But still, it was SO GOOD.

At least I still have Rice Boy/Order of Tales to read.

Your party are all Bard|Barbarians. You are Bardbarians. Can you rock hard enough to draw the attention of the gods?

>>7108972
This seconded.

The players are characters in what seems like a Generic WoW campaign, when reality cracks open about them, the universe implodes, and when they come to, they're...something else.

Everything they knew was a game.

The Game has ended.

Now, they are sentient programs trying to survive in the world they thought they knew; do they try to restore the world, or venture forth in an entirely different direction?

TL:DR - Players are beings who thought they were in an MMO, now are pieces of programs gone sentient after server crashes.

Steampunk Asia

Something like this.

Couldn't find a suitable image, so I'll just blather.

The concept - a single-continent world experiences some manner of tectonic disaster, continents torn asunder in an expansive jigsaw fashion. The source of the incident is not understood, but involved some manner of celestial body crashing into the planet.

The world has entered, due to necessity, into the Age of Sail; some kingdoms cling to the ways of the past, seeking to restore dominance over lands lost, while others wish to rule the resulting seas and waterways.

The seas. however, begin attempting to devour all who would travel them.

Meanwhiles, some of the nations that survived the disaster find that some debris from the event has caused new and unusual abilities to develop among the people, and hasten to gather the materials before the commoners gain the power needed to overthrow the established order.

In the midst of all these goings-on, some leaders are fidnging that their lands themselves are beginning to cause changes in themselves, as though manifesting desires that had not been voiced when part of a coherent unified landmass - the lands are not necessarily alive and sentient in and of themselves, but something is clearly beginning to affect the minds of the rulers, as well as their bodies. Players can serve their nation, venture the seas, try to decipher the riddles of the world.

TL:DR Pirates of Dark Water with heaping helpings of Birthright and Red Steel.

BioTech Versus Cyberpunk re-envisioning of the Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors setting.

Only making the bioform plant beings more like an Algae-morphic entity version of the T-1000, capable of cannibalizing plant life to regrow into damned near ANYTHING.

Those who survive infection tend to not use the advanced medical tech to regrow limbs, as there's a chance the infestation will return. Instead, they are likely to go with prosthetics.

The players are Mary-Sues- Overpowered self-entitled assholes inserted into existing settings. They can warp plot around themselves in order to survive any problem, but too much usage and the integrity of the setting starts to break down... Whereupon they must flee the Auditors to another setting.
If they ever stopped using the Plot like a crackwhore, they might be able to settle down... but of course they're too self-centered to do so.
Unusable because I'd have to homebrew an entire system then convince people to play it.

Like most generic fantasy settings things start with a powerful magical empire that is in a civil war. It is losing badly. The powerful mages of the Empire use their cool magic powers in a last ditch effort for victory. As their capital falls they begin casting a spell which should, hopefully, kill just about everyone opposed to their power. They succeed in casting it, but things go poorly for them as the spell actually tears a hole in reality.

Said hole gets a lot bigger and eventually encompasses all of the world, save for a few pockets of civilization where mages managed to erect anti-magic wards before they died. Everything outside of these wards would be tainted and blighted, the landscape turning and twisting into horrifying shapes as alien flora and fauna spread across the land, most of it incredibly deadly to humans. So, the mages slowly start building more wards and placing colonies across the land, these colonies soon start turning into cities, and so on. Eventually entire nations have been established. Fortunately for the mages, they remain the only ones capable of creating and maintaining wards against the blight, so they effectively control the entire world.

At the same time they enjoy investigating the ruins of the ancient empire and unlocking all kinds of wacky stuff. One expedition of mages, lead by a rather powerful mage who was probably a very important man in their government, stumble upon a Grimoire of one of the most powerful mages of the previous empire. Naturally, this new mage learns of all of their secrets, becomes stupidly powerful, and forms his own little version of their magical church and decides to wage war against the rest of them.

And that's about as far as that plot ever got.

Just now I'm testing an arabian setting, seems to be not so popular, though it's quite an obvious choice.
I like pseudo-historical and mythological settings, so ancient Greek and Roman settings are attractive as well. I wish I knew how to GM well.

The seven deadly sins are so lame and played out. You might as well make them each have an element. earth wind fire water and of course heart.

>>7110812
I would play the fuck out of this, and you could run it easily in oWoD Mage.
