What system did you use, and did you find any good background material on the subject aside from the movie itself?

Quote from: Koltar;406609Could you run a version of "Gangs Of New York" in a setting like maybe 'Waterdeep' city from the FORGOTTEN REALMS?

Or would a city like Freeport or Sanctuary be better?

I'm no FR connoisseur, but I vaguely recall seeing Waterdeep all too often portrayed as a very lawful (and Lawful) city. FR has no shortage of "wretched hive of scum and villainy" cities, though; I suppose places like Luskan in the Sword Coast, or Amn to the south, would do nicely.

Assuming, of course, that you intend to adhere to canon.

Heh - without knowing anything about the Forgotten Realms canon, I have written a couple of convention D&D scenarios set in Forgotten Realm.

Reservoir Elves, set in Waterdeep - leading to the coining of the term "Waterdeep standoff" - when everybody is pointing fucking crossbows at every motherfucker in the room.


Magician: Impossible, set in Marsember, Cormyr. The players were a special ops group from Sembia raiding Castle Obarskyr.


so sure, you can do movie inspired games in Forgotten Realms, with a cast of elves, with nothing but the FR-wiki

very cool DK...:rotfl:

I used Blue Rose, and I did not use any source material, just inspiration from that movie.
