Modern day fairy tales
This thread: http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=85993
Pyramid 3/13 Thaumatology and this bottom of page message: Quote:
Got me thinking about modern world fairytale campaign with modern day storytellers as protagonists. So they need modern day fairy tales to tell. I mostly am thinking of tropes from TV/ cinema etc So things like: you can always get away from the explosion at the last second. forensic evidence is damning and easy to find/prove The goodie always wins But even after playing L.A. Confidential I can see how tropes from noir are great too. Such as: The protagonist 'often' dies Hardened detective can find clues prove things that noone else can Any suggestions or thoughts for riding the narrative modern campaigns? |

Things from another dimension with god like powers fits for me.

Re: Modern day fairy tales
That's kind of missing the point. All you end up with is a Hollywood game.
