The Gate - Fantasy/Modern Crossover

I'm thinking of a D&Dish game where characters/monsters from the fantasy world cross over to our world. There can be some powerful undead and characters that came over along with some magic, but the real world is filled with technology and surveillance. So even with magic and monsters, how would these otherworld creatures adapt?

Just trying this out to explore the story of perhaps a few fantasy characters crossing a gate and dropping into Manhattan and some monsters starting a massacre and the police/army quickly comes and clean house. The powerful characters can probably decide on what to do and how to survive and whether they would be so stressed that they go in a standard murder hobo way of solving problems.

Any interest? Perhaps the modern world humans may want to try to cross the gate too to plunder resources.
 
So, being a female drow, sacrificing humans to Loft is ok?

Sounds fun. Probably a high priest coming with some followers who quickly gets killed by the police and army, and she has to learn about modern technology in the meantime.
 
Kinda toying with the idea of maybe a succubus or vampire who discovers the city's nightlife offers more opportunities than a direct attack does.
 
Tiefling in Times Square? The Vatican would have a meltdown. Mistaken for a demon, every preacher on the planet screaming about the end of days when it's appearance goes viral on YouTube....
 
With a bright flash of light, everyone felt disoriented. Strange energy fills the air and there is a strange attraction to the energy and various groups approached, through various tunnels in the large dungeon just to meet and see a large glowing portal in the wall. Groups that were once enemies or solitary beings see each other, but their curiosity seemed to have a stronger pull on them.

The magic was swirling, it pulses in strange energy, a robed figure with a skeletal finger, cast a spell and the strange energy was not completely magic and was only slightly magical. It indeed felt like a portal and a curious pack of Jackalwere was the first to step through followed by a vampire and several of its spawn. With a strong fear of no losing out, the creatures and humanoids that were attracted all stepped through into the strange new world.

They stepped into a massacre. There were humans in strange clothing all ripped apart and possibly murdered by the first group of creatures that stepped through. The air had a strange stale smell, not musky like dungeons, but it simply smells different. The rooms were lited by flowing rods and spheres that were not magical.

The lich followed the trail of bodies and exited the building to a shocking view of the horizon where the night sky was lit by many buildings in the distance. The colors were fascinating and strangely non-magical but they felt magical. The lich was confused and intrigued. This was a new world never explored and the lich began walking towards the city. Just to be safe, the lich became invisible and walked along the nicely paved roads, in awe of the uniformity of the sidewalks. The air did not smell fresh and there are not many trees seen. The area was rather built up with tall buildings and bright lights. It was indeed a strange place.

=======================================================================

An old cop looked into the alley where the usual homeless tend to gather and it was strangely quiet. He took out his flashlight and entered, searching for the homeless men and as he went deeper into the alley, he found the group of 6 men, limp on the ground. "Shit..." The old cop muttered and checked on the homeless men and they were lifeless and their bodies cold to touch.

"Backup!" The old cop shouted into the radio. "I found 6 men in the alley behind 355 Main street. Motionless, and no pulse found. I need 6 body bags."

The game thread is on.
You can share your initial experience and how difficult it is in the early days of the opening of the gate.
 
Feel free to discuss any story plot, perhaps begin a ritual to have a permanent night/fog around Manhattan?

Thread is up, so feel free to post, and share how you would like to interact?
