Is there any game where I can play mudcore? I want moral greyness and gritty realism.

Isn’t the real question finding someone to play it with you?

Pic unrelated? The villains are literal demon worshipers and the classic mooks are demon cultists, cannibalistic rat chuds or ravening greenskins. It's not really realistic either since the average PC can and will typically win against most things keyed to their experience level. The only reason WHFRP ever got marked up as, "dark" is because it's darker than Faerun, the brightest and cheeriest place where adventure can still happen.

That said, it *is* mudcore. Well, what they really call it is, "grubby fantasy" but we call it today "dark" fantasy. This doesn't mean things are "gray," it means things are dirty and dangerous. Monsters lurk the forests, magic is poorly-understood and confined to genetic freaks, and most people have a little dirt on their boots. Most people are pleasant enough, though. Warhammer Fantasy isn't Game of Thrones (Fantasy), it's Monty Python with violence. It's two knights arguing with a mud peasant over the voting policies of the kingdom before the knights throw up their hands and wander off. It's an Orc launching a goblin from a ballista with wings attached to their arms, and because they're so fucking high on mushrooms they think they're a missile. It's mummy kings fighting an endless war with each other because Imhotep was Pharaoh in -2350 and that gives him more right to rule than King Narcolep from -1600.

Warhammer Fantasy are absurd premises played straight. It's not mudcore.

WFRP is grimderp, not mudcore.

That said mudcore itself is fairly inaccurate. Pic related is a good example of how medieval people actually looked.

Read a single Warhammer Fantasy book and you'll see that most Imperials are portrayed as honest, hard-working goobers that sometimes get thrown into absurd situations. This isn't Game of Thrones where everyone has magical mind-control powers and are using them to make people hate their rivals for some inane scheme.

Rent free. At least it’s closer to reality than medieval fairs ever will be. I need to play peasants getting torn to shreds by knights in not so shining armour, I need power plays between the grey eminence and spymasters, with kings as pawns, whilst disease actually plagues people instead of “magic heals your leprosy” like a Biblical Sunday School fairy tale.

NTA but Warhammer Fantasy's setting is immensely retarded, and the people in it are always portrayed as either insanely corrupt and evil, or insanely stupid and self-defeating. Every single noble and priest is an asshole and every single villager is a schizo who eats feces. Hams characters are either corrupt and evil or selfish and stupid with zero middle ground and zero heroism or virtue.

He plays GURPS, not DnD. And everything else you said is just based.

I don't read black library shit or whatever you're suggesting. Go read how WFB army books or WFRP rulebooks characterize the evil abusive upperclass and the shifty little lowerclass lol

What's mudcore and how is it different from Conan the Barbarian style fantasy (excluding the stories where Conan is king and lives in a fancy palace of course)

It’s more realistic. Conan the Barbarian is a pulpy and action based power fantasy with exaggerated characters and larger than life scenarios. Conan subdues lions in one story and beheads a sorcerer in a grand duel. Right after he fights off a monstrous spider. How is that in any way a realistic depiction of reality? Conan isn’t even proper fantasy in the sense of a historical medieval fantasy; it’s intended to be a purely imaginary age before the Roman Empire.

The homosexual mind is incapable of even approaching the idea that anything about the medieval world was idealistic compared to what we have now. Mudcore is for historically illiterate faggots lmao.
