Hey guys I'm planning another RPG for us to play over the next school year. You know for that little bit of fun, all work and no play make students something something...Anyways I have a few ideas for RPG settings but I'm not sure which one I want to run. So here's a list and short description of each one of my setting ideas. So post a comment as to which one you'd prefer to play or if you have one, suggest your own idea for a setting.
1) "Dark" Fantasy; set in a dark ages era world in the midst of the mythical End of Days. Can you figure out why hell is spilling over into your world and maybe stop the end of time itself.
2) Super Science; in the 1960s an alien ship lands in the middle of Paris, France and stays there. The government quarantines and restricts them to a single area of the city. The french mine the aliens for technology and this sparks an arms race as other countries attempt to steal this technology. Technology is on the rise but it may cost the world dearly. Two fisted science in the 1970s! Spies, soldiers, aliens and commies oh my!
3) Unnamed Renaissance setting; Venice, Italy the Renaissance science and logic is on the rise, stifling the old rule of magic and myth. The church frightened of both science and magic is in the midst of an inquisition to maintain control over Italy. The Myths of old are real, Dante was not just some poet and da Vinci's inventions worked! Side with the church and burn the heretics and monsters, or fight the church and end tyranny. Science or magic?
4) Cyberpunk; In some city (you guys choose) in the year 2042. After a 3rd world war and a 2nd American Civil war following the global collapse of the world's economy the world is split into new countries and continents. The corporations rule, carve out a new existence for yourselves in the dystopian metropolises of the future. Criminal, enforcer, corporate stooge? You decide.
5) Empire; Sometime in the near future you and your friends (ie you guys as yourselves) stumble upon a secret society planning to overthrow the government of the United States and throw the country into a new civil war. Can you rise above your mundane existences, use this society's advanced technology against them and stop them from possibly throwing the world into chaos? Oh and they have your parents. *super villain laugh*
I'm fine with any of them, just vote and we'll play. Also any suggestions to improve any of the settings is welcome.
Jon
