If I remember right, Greg Keyes had a series where Enlightment-era Europe used alchemy to nuke itself, and had to be recolonized by American and Metis survivors.

French king: "gently caress England. Philosophers, use your newfound alchemic sympathy to drop a comet on them"
Philosopher: "what size rock u want?"
Louis: "Did I loving stutter? A rock the SIZE OF ENGLAND"


A campaign of Indigenous Americans exploring the ruins of alchemy-crazed, demon-infested Europe could be fun.

Dark Souls except you're a Navajo warrior.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, what are the least comedic pen & paper rpgs? I don't mean they try and fail at being funny or that they're just not presented in a funny way, I mean the stuff where humor and comedy don't factor into it at all and that the entire feeling and tone of the game wouldn't fit well for jokes.

The first one that comes to mind that fits is Never Going Home, a game about World War 1 but with magic. Basically people discovered horrible truths for surviving and getting ahead in the Great War and everything is terrible and awful. Some pics from it to give you the general feel and aesthetic:








The first one to actually spring to mind was Promethean: The Created, but that one doesn't fit since despite the setting and general feeling, it's very humorous.

I got that game on sale but never even read it.

How is it?

i feel like CthulhuTech was still probably worse but I can’t be sure because any time I try to actually remember anything specific about CthulhuTech my ears start ringing and I wake up naked in a field with a bloody nose and a throat hoarse and dry from screaming

Chaosium just reported Steve Perrin's death. Steve was the original designer of Runequest (and effectively the BRP ruleset). He was a cool dude who I first met at an SCA event back in 1974.

I've been getting into Dark Souls again. Some times people talk about rpgs inspired by the Souls games and usually it's the game itself, but what about a game set in the time sbefore everyone was dead? There's all those factions dealing with the Undead Curse in different ways, works better for a ttrpg than when they're all insane or dead and it's all empty.

Between ten and twentyish depending on how you count them. Though most of those changes were the result of foreign invasion or the monarchy being restored and then a revolution against the new monarch. Galt has been stuck in Committee of Public Safety mode for 50 years somehow. With the somehow evidently being magic evil worm.

That's why I said "when executed well". A country in a 50+ year long regime instability can be good fodder for stories and adventures.

Hell, an eternal revolution land could work as a Ravenloft Domain.
