Something...<i>1492 was year magic was rediscovered...</i><br /><br />Something about that immediately triggered thoughts of the fountain of youth, or El Dorado, or perhaps "Montezuma's Revenge"... some element of colonialism, imperialism, or a by-product of the age of exploration precipitated the return. "Modern" people forgetting the primal roots of myth and folklore until the myths are staring them in the face. Very cool stuff, looking forward to seeing how your column develops.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031181424520125213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-36471488155874469632012-03-30T08:25:58.072-04:002012-03-30T08:25:58.072-04:00I'll label them now. :)

In the past, I've thought about a somewhat different take on the "D&D tropes in the modern world" that underlies both Shadowrun and my own Weird Adventures in different ways.

I'd probably set it during the Dark Ages, because it's easier that way, but the beauty of it is that you could do it anywhere and make it cool; Ancient Greece or Babylon also leap out.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-71214226636073965342012-03-28T08:08:09.445-04:002012-03-28T08:08:09.445-04:00It's one of my all-time favorite X-Men stories...It's one of my all-time favorite X-Men stories as well.WQRobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436898737750581192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-48997671779841721942012-03-28T07:41:49.274-04:002012-03-28T07:41:49.274-04:00A historical figure like Dee would be a great inst...A historical figure like Dee would be a great instigator for a man-made mystic apocalypse.

You'd have John Dee suddenly discovering his magic works, and he'd start tutoring others; you could use the medieval bestiary to populate the world; and replace the trouble with the Spanish with hordes of Orcs.Simon Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243845335993440168noreply@blogger.com
