I'm currently contemplating a modern setting but with various mythological weirdness into the brew. Likely this will include the old favourite of 'parrelel worlds'. One normal, one magical (like 'Narnia' or King's 'The Talisman' etc, etc).
I welcome thoughts, ideas and experiences from which to bounce around concepts and get the imagination flowing.
Thanks.

My twin realms campaign had a fanstasy world linked to the modern world via gates, and the two had just become aware of the connection, which is being exploited by evil extraplanar powers.
It makes for an interesting rp, especially where culture shock and modern technology are concerned, and it was hard work to dm but fun for all when played.

I had an old Traveller campaign wherein a Zhodani scientist had created the first "extra dimensional" portal and to his and the Zhodani governments great surprise, there was something out there, "lurking beyond the stars and the gates of time".
Yep, you guessed it, the Zhodani managed to open the door for Cthulhu and company, who then proceeded to conquere the majority of the Cronos sub-sector of the Spinward Marches before the Zhodane, in league with the Imperium and the near by Darrians (who had OLD data on the bad boys) were able to contain (well mostly contain) the Outsiders to the seventeen Cronos sub sector worlds that they had infected.
The problem was that MANY of the human beings fleeing those worlds early on in the conflict, and there were hundreds of thousands that did, were actually "sleeper cultists" who are now actively trying to summon their lieges back out of the containment zone. Too, what is happening on those worlds, where technology and Mythos madness collide and are now interbreeding is something that worries the Imperium and the Zhodani alike half to death. AND a subtle madness seems to be spreading through out the Spinward Main worlds now... with mass hysteria and odd cults poping up all over the place; with news of the same happening WAY back in the prime Zhodani sector of space.
All of this got started because of an old discussion about there being nothing that could get the Zhodani and the Imperium to work closely and openly together.
Hehehehe. Never give an evil minded GM a challenge like that one.
