Really good setting, and I want to try running it, specifically one set Florida during the 80's.

Florida in general is a great place in general to go to for all the kind of fucked up shit that happens there.

But I don't know what it is about hte setting, but it's just difficult for me to run. I think it might be in part just the fact that it's 'real life' and I need to put that much more effort in there since I can't handwave any shit as it being fantasy world.

>Steampunk as it currently exists is the result of a magickal deconstruction of Mechanomancy into something powerless and ineffectual by turning it simply into fashion. The authors of this plot are turning their attention to other schools of magick

>>221606

The thing is, it's far easier to handwave shit precisely because it is real life. But it's also real-life with obsession-based magick. Try to keep it grounded in reality, but if you need to make something up, do it.

I'd love to run UA as well, but neither of the groups i run for are particularly into it. As well as running just "standard" modern-day UA, I'd love to look at some historical settings too. The one that specifically leaps to mind is setting it around the French Revolution, with all the massive changes in the Statosphere that probably followed.

What about diesel punk?

>There's a Dipsomancer out there that gave himself Auto-brewery syndrome. Because of this, he's perpetually buzzed and never loses his charges.

But this game is full of filthy postmodern leftcuck tranny bullshit, how can people here like it?

>Magnet factories are just as they seem; filled with unusual but scientific machinery, pure white and scientific, and staffed entirely by members of various worldly clergies.

>There's supposedly a ritual floating around on the net that lets you turn a table full of wargaming miniatures into something akin to their 'real' counterparts for a few hours. Which act the way their creator and setting's lore would expect them to.

>Unfortunately the little plastic men desire only to eliminate the miniatures which they consider their foe; and the ritual won't work without at least two different armies on the table. Even worse, any damage the miniatures do to eachother is permanent once the ritual stops.

>This is not a ritual for the faint of heart.

>Rumor has it there's a type of Adept out there that gain charges by making people believe lies.

> They say some sick fucko has figured out a way to gain a charge for every abortion he does.

> They say some sick chomos are gaining charges from brainwashing and raping children.

> Everybody knows they want to take our guns, but why? They want to control us but they also want to weaken the archetype of The Free Man.

> Why are they switching every thing to credit and moving away from the gold standard? It's because gold is a noble metal and with the right knowledge you can harvest charges from it yourself.

Yes. Enough of this post modern feminist bullshit that implies women are anything like men. Inferior creature should know their place, below their master's bootheel, you cuck.

Do you remember it? You know, that time you almost died, but somehow didn't? You fell in front of a car and then miraculously got up just in time. You fell down a flight of stairs, and got up without a bruise. Your friend hit you in the face with a bat, but besides a broken nose, you stayed alive. Whatever it is, you survived.

Everyone has it, that weird memory where they almost died. Doesn't matter how, doesn't matter when, you survived. You did it. We all did.

And then people forgot. Your mom, who grabbed you before the car hit you, says you never fell down in front of a blue mustang. The cleaning lady, who was working that day you fell, says you never took the stairs, ever. Your friend never played baseball in his life. It was never the Berenstein family, it was always the Berenstain family. It never was "mirror, mirror on the wall", but "magic mirror on the wall". And so on.

We all remember things wrong. All of us, remember the same things wrong. They call it the Mandela effect. Or Schrodinger's memory. I call it a lie. Do not believe their lies.

"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create…life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about…from dying. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power…which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death…but not himself."

Dude, that's just a fact.

You know those cloudy winter nights, where despite all logic the sky's that strange shade of dark orange?

I thought for a while that it was just-just the street lights reflecting off the snow, the orange light getting reflected by the clouds (and pollution) again.

But with this El Niño weather, there hasn't been snow on the ground this year. And the sky's still orange. I sent a letter out to my friend who lives out in the sticks on a hunch, and the sky's still orange there! There aren't paved roads, let alone fucking streetlights out there.

>Everyone has it, that weird memory where they almost died.

Really? Everybody? I mean, I have two or three of those ridiculously close call memories off the top of my head, but does everybody else have them too? I've never really swapped such stories with friends before.

>>225553

You got it all wrong, Gabe isn't working toward its production at all. He's just waiting for sheer belief to conjure it into being meme-magic style. It'll be released when it's done, and that's when it finally self-coalesces into a tangible game in Valve's offices.

>>225565

I did go from living in town most of my life to being well outside of town, and that orange cloud thing is definitely not happening out here. Short of moonlight, night is super dark. It's a little annoying, street lights make it a lot easier to tell if and how hard it's raining/snowing at night.

Nigga I have two that I can remember off the top of my head - falling in front of a car and falling down a flight of stairs. Both when I was a kid. I still have no idea how I managed to get up.

What about you?

>>225608

Two as a kid: Out in the forest with a friend, we found a chain and a big, heavy metal hook a good ways up in an old tree for some mysterious reason. (Maybe someone tried to pull it down at some point?) We climbed up to investigate, yanked and pulled for a bit, realize the whole thing's partially merged into the tree at this point, give up. Walk away, and right then the hook alone falls directly in front of me. Like, inches in front, and it was definitely skull-crushing industrial size. So close I felt the air movement. To this day I have absolutely no idea what dislodged it, it was stuck in that tree good, not to mention attached to the rest of the chain. Plus it didn't fall immediately or much later, it waited almost the exact amount of time for us to climb back down and for me to be directly under it. If there was ever an argument for malevolent supernatural forces…

Other time I slipped off a mid-height diving board and fell backwards, hit the water so close to the edge of the pool the back of my head grazed it. It actually got skinned a little.

As an adult: Late night heading home from work, at a stoplight intersection with a highway. Light goes green, but I take about two extra seconds to fiddle with music, not a car in sight anyway. As I'm pulling out, some other car shoots through, running the red FAR beyond the speed limit without any headlights on no less, I had no idea it was there. Barely missed me, but if I were just a second or two ahead… That woulda been ugly to say the least.

I think the hook one is the best just because it also has the mystery of what a heavy hook and chain was up that high in a tree for in the first place.

There was an entire fringe thread on /pol/ about those weird memories when people almost died, or missed death by a millisecond.

There were also a lot of people who have some weird memory that you know can't be true, but feels real and vivid to this day. Something like vividly remembering flying by kicking your feet in place over and over again.

It was weird. Things from parallel universes over to subliminal messaging and drugs in water were mentioned. Good thread for inspiration.

When I was about 17, I fell off my bike while pedaling downhill as fast as possible without wearing a helmet. A bit over a year later, I nearly drowned while scuba diving.
