Modern arcana

|
Modern arcana is a genre of fantasy involving the combination of modern day (20th century) settings with trappings from popular fantasy (elves, magic, dragons). The name comes from the d20 Modern campaign setting Urban Arcana. Some forms of Steampunk may also cross over into this genre of fiction, though often those stop at the Victorian era of history rather than the logical extension into the present day. It may also cross over into Cyberpunk, though Cyberpunk is often taken with near-future technology and dystopia, and so less involved with magic/fantasy and modern-day society. Examples of this genre include: * The traditional role-playing games, Urban Arcana, Changeling: The Dreaming, and to a lesser extent Shadowrun. * The modern console role-playing game series Parasite Eve * Many forms of horror involve supernatural powers in a modern-day context. * The film Reign of Fire |
