If you're abstaining, it looks as though Dragons would be first; with Enchanted Beasts and Other being distant second and third. Quote:
My "Other" TL 9 (including some superscience) for the most part, but weapons (i.e. guns) and armor (i.e. body armor) still at TL 8. However, TL 9 technology for advanced forms of ammo, optics, and other such things which are accessories to a weapon are available; the base weapons (guns and such) themselves are still at TL 8 though. In the case of the TL 9 ammo, cost would be +50% over normal cost. |

Re: Vote up an Urban Fantasy Setting
5 other--Specify (if it wins, we do another poll on tech) Dragon-tech or some other kind of weird science
4TL 9 with no superscience but everything else from UT at that TL The future should feel like the future 3TL 8 with one area (computers, mechanical engineering, power generation, weapons, etc.) advanced a TL Feels less near-future and more modern 2TL 8 baseline/like today with some new gadgets but no major changes see above 1 TL 9 Cyberpunk Path (more advanced stuff in computers, VR, cyberware, holography, etc.)Get Shadowrun out of here 0 TL 8 Retro trends, possibly some regression in what's commonly avaiable What part of future is hard to understand?

For my part, I much prefer real, massive, physical dragons who sit in caves on mounds of treasure and inspire awe and terror through their sheer physical majesty. To me, it's dodging the problem to have largely metaphorical "Dragons" who exist on the web, or the astral plane, or just hang out in certain people's auras, or something, instead of in the real world. Much more fun to have real, live, flesh and blood dragons, and then try to hide them. Just my two cents. I defer to the voting, of course! |

No, it's which one out of that list counts for the "Other" on the earlier list. Dragons joins the winning categories of fairies and witches. note- I'm inclined to read those as broad groups. We may see plenty of variation within each category/family. Future votes will decide the particulars. Last edited by combatmedic; 03-15-2014 at 11:42 AM. |

Re: Vote up an Urban Fantasy Setting
That's because weird science/super tech did not win on the power sources vote.

Re: Vote up an Urban Fantasy Setting
If I could I'd vote for Steampunk, maybe TL5+3 or something like that. That'd be awesome with dragons.
But since I can't...

You might do it as Other: mature TL 8 humans 5+3 dragons That won't make the whole setting steampunk. The hidden dragon stuff would be steampunk. |
