Anyway, so I have been thinking on and off about a modern fantasy RPG, but I'm have some trouble getting it off the ground but here's what I've got so far.
As the end of the year of 2012 grew closer and closer people began to worry.
What was going to happen?
Were they all going to die?
Finally the date December 20th, 2012 arrived, The people of Earth awaited their fate.
be it death or something else.
As the moment arrived something happened.
Absolutely Nothing.
There was anger, relief, and many other feelings as well. But listen! The following week several odd occurrences happened.
High forms of technology started to fail.
Sailors reported odd things at sea.
Scientists began reporting an odd element in the air.
Members of an online forum mysteriously vanished.
And at the end of the week everything shut down.
Yes, everything from computers to airplanes to cell phones just stopped working.
Naturally from the people there was absolute panic, desperate attempts from the government to establish communications were met with only silence.
From the United States there was no way to establish communications with either Hawaii or Alaska, but talks between the US, Canada, and Mexico determined that they must launch boats to see if the could contact overseas countries.
Before they got halfway out to sea,
A giant beast appeared from the sea and the ships disappeared into its maw.
Silence.
Then the screams began.
As the years went by mysterious humanoid beings were reported seen inland.
But due to being busy with sea monsters and the current situation they were in the reports were completely ignored.
As the decades spun by, new forms of flora and fauna appeared, some were passive, even peaceful, others weren't. Eventually, the mysterious element in the air was identified as strongly compatible with certain parts of the human brain in certain people.
The substance began to be called,
Magic
Scientists, firmly believing this was not magic called it Arcanum.
Further experimentation, yielded results, these people could move things, influence people,even bend the elements to their will.
They became irritated with the constant experimentation and demanded to be released.
The Scientists, pressured by human rights activists, agreed to this.
The users of Arcanum eventually gathered together and, calling themselves Arcanists, [or Mages, or shamans, even today they still can't decide] Formed their own communities in seclusion, away from other people to explore their newfound power. One particular Arcanist, Shaman Aranick, gathered the various native peoples to him and persuaded them to seek their own destiny to form their own communities once more. They agreed and calling themselves the Seekers of Destiny formed in the Great Plains, but along with the Arcanist's Sanctuary remained allied to the United States.
Each new faction found new forms of life, but no sentient beings just yet [but some of the animals were strangely intelligent].
For centuries this was how things went with Canada and Mexico constantly being forced to push back their own borders when they were assaulted by an unknown
force that they had no way of fighting due its high speed and tactics.
At last, numerous thing occurred at once, a strange folk were discovered in the mountains they called themselves the Bosmer, or Elves and were mildly xenophobic and condescending but warmed up to humans, particularly the Hunters of the Native Americans and the numerous Arcanists around the countries due to similar lifestyles and abilities. As they friendship between the various communities and countries went on a group of Arcanists, Scientists, and Elves gathered together and discussed the current situations and began working on something.
They eventually announced to the public at large, they were making an aircraft powered by a Arcanum and fuel combination very similar looking to zeppelins of old. as production of the Huge Airship continues the various peoples and races of North America look to the future to see what awaits them.
This my friends is Modern Fantasy
