Fantasy WWII

By Ahrimon, in Genesys

Any suggestions for a fantasy WWII style setting. Something similar to how shadowrun has elves, dwarves, etc, but set during a WWII timeframe. Or even the world of the movie Bright but during WWII. Weird War seems like a good start, but I thought I would ask if anyone had any tips, hings, or experience they can share doing this.

Thanks!

Years ago, I ran a setting where the Nazi experiments with the occult basically brought magic and myth back to the world and every major power on Earth allied itself with some arcane group. It was less British Elves vs Nazi Orcs and more British Sidhe vs Nazi Norse Gods, though, with players being a crack team of superpowered operators. It wasn't particularly structured, as I was making stuff up as I went, and I went drunk as a skunk. One thing that I remember is that the demon Samael was an important British general, a homage to the Irish folk song "Some say the Devil is dead".

I ran The Day After Ragnarok for Savage Worlds years ago where a Nazi Cult raised the Midgard Serpent and we bombed it instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bringing magic back into the world through its blood. The party, or I should say the posse, was lead by a Texas Ranger where they started in the Republic of Texas and hunted Nazis all throughout Central America, then into Argentina having a showdown with Dr. Mengela himself and his super soldiers.

I've always wanted to run an Achtung Cthulhu campaign that is a prequel to the events of The Day After Ragnarok where the party are soldiers who learn about the Nazi Cult and try to stop it, but ultimately like any good Cthulhu game ... the party fails and the world goes to crap. 😃
