ItsKaljinyuTime 05/14/21 8:57:19 PM #1:	Let's say I wanna play Mother 4, but I can't because it doesn't exist. Are there any RPGs set in modern times that I can hitch my fandom wagon to? Well there's Persona, that's going on strong. You play it, it's nice, but then you think "This is a very Japanese game. And it makes me wonder what an American version of this would look like." You go looking for WRPGs. But they're all either set in medieval times, or are Fallout. You can't find the American Persona. Or any kind of WRPG set in modern times. So now you have to imagine what that might look like, if someone was to make it. What would it look like? What would its hero(es) look like? Simple answer is probably "I dunno, modern? Persona but you're in America?" But think a little more about it. Based on the culture of Western video game design, what direction do you think it would take? Me, if a WRPG set in modern times was a thing, I feel like it would take inspiration from games like Heavy Rain or Alan Wake or Beyond: Two Souls. Or a Telltale game. Or even L.A. Noire. If you think about where JRPGs get inspiration for their heroes, the Western equivalent of that is where we get our heroes for games like these. The hero of a WRPG would be an everymannish something-like detective who's sad about something. Like the heroes of Silent Hill or Resident Evil. These games are developed by Japanese teams, but are deliberately Western-influenced. Ergo, everymannish something-like detective who's sad about something. For some reason when developers think "West," they think everymannish something-like detective who's sad about something. --- Kaljinyu <cite>ItsKaljinyuTime posted [p:953915148] in If you had...

Zeus 05/14/21 10:48:02 PM #6:	Shadowrun is pretty close to modern times. Otherwise some of the GTA games kinda fit the bill, as do the Saints Row games (overlooking that SR4 has aliens, and then just ignoring Gat Out of Hell). Honestly, unless you're kinda changing the idea of "set in modern times" to be some weird alt-verse with magic, etc, crime-themed games are probably the most logical choice. The kinda modern take on the quest, for instance, would be something like a heist (which would bring together a group of "adventurers" -- with very specialized skills -- on a mission to face overwhelming odds to get their hands on an item or loot). However, if you are going magic, you'd probably just do urban fantasy of some kind. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:953918441] in If you had...

The games are like 30-40 years in the future and they have advanced cybertechnology that people can put into them, and the other major change is magic and non-human humanoids are around.

I guess you're probably not familiar with the source material and are basing your opinion on the more recent games, but the setting is reasonably close to what you might see in some cities. While there are futuristic elements and fantasy, the overall theme was very contemporary. When you go through the core book (I think it was a core edition, I'm not sure what happened to my copy), it has suggestions for encounters in convenience stores. Additionally, the cyber-tech is often pretty low budget. The potential upgrades include installing a shotgun in somebody's forearm, something that you kinda can do with modern technology. Granted, part of it is that it was a future as envisioned in the 1980s and it was only set maybe 40-50 years in the future (which iirc they've pushed out) ParanoidObsessive posted...

So even if we go with the oldest version of Shadowrun the 1980's version which I owned as a kid it still doesn't fit. Like I said it's a futuristic setting mashed with fantasy elements. Shit even back then the hacking done was by jacking into computers and entering a VR inside the computer world, and I recall that very well because the first Shadowrun source book had an elf jacking into cyberspace.
