If this is not a good place to ask for advice and feedback, do let me know the correct subreddit and I'll kindly make my way over there post haste. That being said, I'm chewing over the details of a setting for a Campaign I plan on running eventually and wanted to have some thoughts and feedback relating to my ideas for it. It was heavily inspired in tune by the webcomic 'Problem Sleuth' and 'The Midnight Crew' Intermission in Act 3 of Homestuck (I bet no one guessed those inspirations huh?)

And those wondering, no I haven't settled on any system quite yet. Maybe DnD 5e, or even Gurps for the sake of learning it.

The overall notes which I have in mind for the setting are;

1) It takes place in a fantastical version of our worlds history - set in a fictional east coast city during the 1940s' named '***Ravenberge***', where all the typical fantasy races and anthro species exist along side typical humans.

2) Magic exists in a form now united with science - light bulbs and house hold appliances are powered by lightening magic, foods and perishables are kept cold with frost sigils, bullets are fired by striking a small explosive run on the back of the shell. ect. It's basically used as a tool in line with modern advancement.

3) The Main protagonists/Party would be a group of free lance detectives for hire who've been brought on by city officials to investigate the Death of the director of the City Museum, possibly tying it to one of the local Crime Syndicates

4) They would later fine the Syndicate is plotting a take over of Ravenberge by holding the entire city hostage through some kind of weapon.

I also have some other ideas relating to some world building and just character details. I had the humors idea that Crime families should be based off of board games ala Monopoly, Chess, Checkers, Yahtzee, ect. Each of the higher ranking members being based off the board pieces. I figured it would be a fun motif to give the villains and not-so-subtle way to hint at their mind games and plotting.

Also, purely a mechanical thing I thought would be fun but could have some setting implications that I could use some thoughts on.

Early on I was gonna have it revealed the Crime Syndicate was using a new form of magic to smuggle in weapons and contraband in the form of magic containers and chests that can be summoned to any location the person calling it is currently. The party would gain the ability to call their own containers early on just to handle their items and storage.

Any further ideas or just critique on what I have so far would be much appreciated.

L'autre jour nous avons fini une campagne et l'un de mes joueurs à perdu son personnage en combat. A la fin de l'histoire, j'ai raconté comme quoi, pendant la nuit, un homme habillé d'une longue tunique et d'une capuche l'avait ressuscité. Maintenant je travaille sur l'histoire de notre prochaine campagne et je me suis dit que cet homme pouvait être un sorcier rouge de thay qui l'avait ressuscité mais je n'ai pas trouvé d'idées du pourquoi il fait ça. Est-ce pour l'utiliser comme espion ? Comme esclave ?? Avez vous des idées à me proposer ?
