Rad. I am all for anything that diverges from the norm. I have a Mesoamerican setting in stagnant development myself... well, a sorta Mesoamerican Renaissance mix. Venice meets Tenochtitlan. Anyway, the Mesoamerican and Pre-Columbian categories of Wikipedia are helpful. I'm not familiar with any...

Anyone else have favorite homebrew flavors? Valkyries are circling. Is the thread destined for the hall of the slain, to fight and feast forevermore, awaiting forumageddon? Or Hel, to freeze amongst spectres and shadows? I suspect the latter.

Aha! It was called Cressia:

I believe there was a collective homebrew (forumbrew?) that had werewolf paladins. Cool idea.

Beware the were-manatee. It will eat all your cabbage! Not really weird-were, but my Mesoamerican Renaissance setting in stagnant development has were-jaguars.

Another favorite idea is humans having been bred into various forms for specific purposes (not unlike dogs) in the Dark Heritage setting, by J-Dawg.

For Shame! Haha. While I fully support homebrewing nude, the title isn't Live Nude HomebrewERS. What you do in the privacy of your own home I dare not imagine. The title was a play on strip-club advertisment. As in, strip that homebrew and show us your bits! Neon lights in sight, afternoon...

How-do. What are your favorite bits of flavor from homebrews you've read about on these forums? A recent favorite of mine is the eccentric pantheon of CITY, by Mallus. I particularly like the idea of some winning divinity from a mysterious fallen angel, via a duel and a divorce and so forth...

DreadPirateMurphy: Thanks. But it seems you have missed some key concepts in my original post. First, the historical period which I lift is the mid to late fifth century (450s to 400s BC). This is the zenith of classical Greece, called the Age of Pericles. The Greco-Persians Wars are over. The...

Awesome, guys. Agent Orange: Gyro Western... hehehe. Yeah, I'm leaning towards downplaying the mythological aspects, walking towards the lite (fantasy), so to speak. Although... (Beware The Babbler!) I love me some satyr – I've been re-reading the novels of China Mieville, so I have a mental...

Requiem For A Dream, by Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet. The Professional, by Eric Serra – especially the track Noon.

Piratecat: Thanks. Inaccessibility... yeah, I hope even a smidgen of familiarity with both the (fairly recognizable) periods will give people a little ground to stand on before I one-two punch them off it - just enough for them to process a fusion of the two. But, of course, if various setting...

[Also posted verbatim at rpg.net. The more ideas the better.] Hi. I'm attempting to turn a setting brainfart into a... uh... brainpoop? Your comments and contributions would be most appreciated. The brainfart in question is a fusion of Classical Greece and the American Wild West into a dark...

The Etched City - K.J. Bishop, her debut. A phantasmagoric tropical city western. Beautifully bizarre.
