Quote from: Lynn;920753How good is it? I have been playing with the idea of a future 'time war' of the Tsan Chan vs the later Dark Conquerors. They pretty much wipe each other out but the result being a polluted Earth. Something that's about 80% Fantasy and 20% Gamma World.

It's good by my tastes.
It's dark and horrific and humans are... well, I'm not even sure you could play a human in the setting. Not for long, unless you had some powerful mentor/patron at your back.
Most surviving/sane humans in the setting are slaves to the sorcerers and other entities stomping around.
It's also dense. There's barely any art in it at all. It's just one guy's ideas of a Lovecraftian future. I like it because it's not like any of the other CoC future stuff... End Times, Cthulhu Rising... and it's not uplifting at all. Humanity is pretty much over.
In my games it's a possible future that can be visited, referenced... maybe some day set a Carcosa-esque campaign there.

1) Fantasy battlemechs.
2) Giants and dragons as kaiju. Just absurdly big.  
3) A mobile castle on tank treads.
4) Ring around the planet made up of billions of derelict spaceships.
5) Fantasy aircraft carrier: Massive city-ship of pegasus-mounted knights.
6) Dinosaurs (Nearly) wiped out by a dead god that fell to earth a zillion years ago. His miles-tall corpse slowly rots in the center of a wasteland.
7) Captured cloud giant city turned into fantasy Death Star.
A massive storm that never ends, like Jupiter's red spot. A lost city, dungeon, or dinosaur isle is in the eye.
9) Mobile city of necromancers slowly approaches, carried on the backs of thousands of zombies.
10) Crystal swords.
11) Zardoz head.
12) Mullets and afros on fantasy heroes. Elf chicks with 70's feathered Farrah Fawcett hair.
13) Cities or forts built in or around bones and/or armor of massive dead gods or monsters.
14) Gwar.
15) 80's cheapo Masters of the Universe knock-off toy lines.
16) Crystal androids with chrome heads that look like those 70's see-through Micronauts figures.
17) Wise talking apes.
18) The sun is alive & semi-sentient and has a big face on it like in Teletubbies. World will die when it someday hatches into Hyper-God.
19) John Holmes. Vintage porn. Swagger
20) Elves are survivors of alien universe from before Big Bang and are goth and Elric as fuck. Use demon everything.
21) In forgotten ancient times a massive city covered entire world. Dungeons are what's left of it's basements & sewers.
22) Ridiculous giant blades like in anime.
23) Gor.
24) The VHS tape cover art to cheapo 80's Italian Conan rip-offs.

No 1d24.  All of the above.  Plus Rick Sanchez.

Quote from: Simlasa;920559There's a setting book for Call of Cthulhu 'The Cruel Empire of Tsan Chan' that depicts a very dark aftermath of Cthulhu awakening and the world falling into madness.

Ohhh, that one's a gem.  Good call.

Quote from: Lynn;919929I am preparing to run DCCRPG for a group that's never played it before, starting with the module Hole in the Sky, a funnel 0 level adventure. If they like it, Ill continue running it as a campaign (I have Peril on the Purple Planet but I am not in a hurry to run that). I have some ideas of a post apocalyptic Earth style campaign but Id like to hear community ideas about what made DCCRPG fun for you, in terms of whipping together your own campaign / setting / etc. Yeah, very open ended question.

My infamous setting was based on looking at all the basic elements of DCC, and trying to match a world to that level of gonzo. It's Gonzo up to 11. Post-apocalypse fantasy, total mix of tech-levels. Ridiculous societies. Talking animals who are often assholes. etc etc.

Anyways, if you haven't seen it yet, check out my archived log of the campaign.  It gets crazier and crazier as it goes along.

Looks like a lot of fun stuff there - that's your next project, packaging it up?

I went ahead and ran the first session with a bit of interlude before they began playing the "Hole in the Sky" module. I kept 'the world' a bit small to begin with. I like the fact that character stuff isn't full on gonzo at 0 level, and the Purple Sorcerer generator apps are really quite good.

It begins in a post apocalyptic world in an area that mirrors the San Juan Islands, each of which is a small realm. All the humans begin in safe, no magic islands that have populations tightly controlled by a High King in the Warm Lands (who seems to have a mystical control over several hundred killer whales). On "Coming of Age Day" / Autumnal Equinox, if an island has become overpopulated by new births, it ejects a few who come of age if they can't kick out enough undesirables to make up the balance - which fits perfectly with the beginning of "Hole in the Sky". So they are all dumped in the farthest realm and told they need to prove their worth within three days or the local 'chief' will decide it for them. The coastal realms roughly mirror traditional Native American territories. The world outside of the islands is virtually unknown to the humans. I'm figuring to start them in a relatively "cleanly barbaric" land such that REH would like before they find out what a mutant cesspool Seattle has become.

It will be, as soon as I can find time to start on it.
