The game will take place in an alternate timeline where an event in which a magical source and all magic it provides is eliminated and erased from the memories of the common people never happened. As a result, the setting is still on planet Earth, and the time is present day, but there are races requiring magic to exist that are able to live here (dwarves, elves, goblins, etc.). With all these different races conflicting with each other and use of magic discouraging the advancement of technology, culture and technology are about 200 years behind. So somewhere in the early 2000s, Earth is in a steampunk era.

The guns, as I observed triggered discussion (which I didn't expect), won't be modern guns. They will be more old-fashioned, but will also be slightly ahead of the historical equivalent of their time, due to weaponsmiths being able to combine magic and technology to create more powerful weapons.

So overall, the game will focus on the really cool concept of having magic and technology conflicting and working together at the same time, with planet Earth caught in the middle.
