UA Fantasy

    I very much like the feel and mechanics of UA, but also like fantasy RPGs so I put together what I hope is a usable system using these two. Feel free to look this over and let me know what you think.

    I’ve written a few UA mods for different settings, among others the setting of Final Fantasy VII.

    Something I came across is that the Madness Meter of “Unnatural” doesn’t fit in as well in a world setting where people are significantly more superstitious, exposed and confronted with the supernatural; far more than in our own real-life world — as UA’s setting imposes. The Unnatural stress type implies that the majority of people simply discredit the existance thereof, it reflects how their mind goes snap when they’re proven wrong.

    Now, I read that in this draft’s terms, the majority is aware of the unnatural, and fear or demonize it.

    I’d suggest a different fifth Madness Meter to replace the Unnatural, instead a Madness Meter of “Divinity” — a sort of “Helplessness” towards the Divine and supernatural, towards the incapability of controlling your own “fate”, and the supernatural powers that be merrily dictating the direction of your path.

    I found that this worked much better in a more fantasy-based setting with an UA mod.

    I agree that unnatural does not fit as well, but maybe it would simply be best to give all characters (npc and pc) 1-2 hardends. I’ll have to see how things work out.
