I think I have decided to make it loosley based on the Supernatural show for my background and setting. I will do without the main charachters and their storylines and effects on everyday things but I like some of the lore and I think the setting fits well as we are based in the Midwest. I looked over the books for that RPG setting though and dislike the system so I am going to use the True20 system and hope that works out well. I am hoping this will work well for us but now I am just looking to get inspired

So what I am trying to acheive is just generate the setting, to introduce magic and establish a background for why Magic, mystery, montrous creatures and the like are now showing up in our world. I see what you are saying regarding the "Event" defining everything and that is true I guess I am looking for opinions on which of those scenarios I mentioned would be most appealing. Or if none of them would appeal to you as a pc what ideas you would have to make this huge impact in the world as we know it? Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

I am creating a modern era game that takes place in our home city using PC's that are created from our own likeness. The question I have is that I need some sort of cataclysmic type event that can take our mundane world and change it into something both horrifying and magical. Ideas I have considered are: Supernatural (TV Show) type setting where the PCs are exposed to the the SuperNatural world that has always existed but the viel just wasn't torn Ancient artifact has been discovered that works much like a magic supression device that blocks all magic energy for 2500 miles and when it is discovered it malfunctions revealing a land of mystical magical wonders and horrors. Some sort of cthulhu type monster emerges from deep hibernation buried underground and is disturbed by deep military excavation during a bunker creation thus bringing forth everything else that comes with evil mystical creatures. These are just some rough brainstorms that I had and I am looking for any input here. Bring your ideas criticisms etc. I am open to any and all recomendations!!
