I like CJ Carrella's modern occult setting. It's about magic getting stronger and stronger in the world, with a great change called Armageddon looming on the horizon. It won't necessarily destroy Earth and humanity, though probably many will die.
Proof of this is that there were several Armageddons in history, when magic levels peaked, and we're still here.
There are a number of supernatural styles and supposed bigger players described (the Wicca, Rosicrucians, Strom Dragons, Templars, etc.), but any style of supernatural ability and group is valid.

Generally speaking, most human-friendly groups try to delay the Armageddon by keeping the masses ignorant, to better prepare for it and the defense of humanity. However, there are some who do the opposite, or just don't care about anything else but personal power and gratification.

FATE Core is a generic, creative and simple system, easily custom-tailored for almost any setting. And it's legally free.

Learning from my previous attempt with Dune, I won't leave things so open and undefined, but will give some story and group concepts to choose from, and anyone will be welcome to throw in their own ideas.

We'll probably start after the holidays, but I wanted to see if I should gather ideas and put effort into this.
Are there people interested in a game like this?

Edit:
The WitchCraft core book is also legally free.

I have never played a game using the FATE Core system but am willing to learn. When I get home I will click the above links and learn more about the setting. This game sounds very interesting and fun.

Based on the description on DrivethruRPG and here it sounds interesting. I'd give it a shot. I love FATE and a modern fantasy setting is always intriguing.

I want to play Fate Core bad, but as I said in another post, I have my hands in too many pots currently.

I see another Fate Core game started on here too: Transported Trouble

So maybe we are getting a small Fate Core group here.

I saw it, too, but the two genres are so different that the people interested in one won't necessarily be interested in the other. We'll see what the new year brings.

True, I am just looking at it from a Fate perspective. I have only read the Fate Core rules, not any of the settings or anything.

Bare in mind, over the holidays, PbP activity typically plummets. I'll make sure to tweet this out starting tomorrow again.

Would someone need a lot of knowledge of the WitchCraft setting before applying? I've never heard of it before, although I'm downloading the free rpg as we speak.
