[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7498875, member: 6925649"] [IMG]http://www.bible-history.com/maps/roman_empire_color.gif[/IMG] Imagine a standard Dungeons and Dragons setting Post Roman Empire, yet the Roman Gods stuck around, and the various successor nations that broke off of the Empire still worshipped those gods. As for Christianity, Jesus never was crucified, and that ended that. No religion called Christianity ever evolved, and without that example to follow, there was no Islam either, the Arabs remained pagans, but a major religion to survive, even though the Roman Empire fell, was the Pantheon of the Romans and the Greeks which became one and the same. This would have been sometime in the 1300s, there is no AD dating system. People tend to measure the years starting when the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar's rein began. Romans are rivals to the Norse gods, some Roman gods are also Norse gods, Venus/Aphrodite/Freya/Ishtar are all the same goddess for example. There are nations that are familiar to us, there are the Britons for example, there are the Gauls, there are the Goths, and the Germans, and the Slavs living in the east. Would this make a great campaign setting or what? [/QUOTE]
