Well its fantasy, remember a work written by Mark Twain? That is almost the same, except in this book, magic wasn't real, except for the little detail of him getting there via a blow to the head.

What would happen if we transported an entire western town plus some surrounding territory into a fantasy campaign? Let's say we include some farmland, part of a train line with a few locomotives, and an Indian village, how do you think they will get along with their new neighbors, say a castle...

Here is my first character created for this setting.

But you can't draw a crossbow as quickly as you can, draw a revolver! A cowboy is a different sort of thing in a fantasy setting. There is a fantasy setting which takes place in the American West. These are fantasy novels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emberverse_series

Flintlocks make a poor substitute for a six shooter!

I think crossbow, longbow, or shortbow duels out on the street are unlikely.

Westerns have barbarians, they are called "Indians". What happens if a western town is transferred to the Forgotten Realms? I am thinking more of Faerun, what if a western town appeared in a similar climatic area of Faerun, maybe Amn perhaps. How would the cowboys US Army cavalry and local...

I figured you'd figure out I meant the characters, I lost my internet connection right after I posted that and was unable to correct it

The idea is to have all of the historical gods from the Deities and Demigods book in one world that looks like Earth. The Egyptian gods could easily come back after the fall of the Roman Empire. Just think about it, Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire, and when the Roman Empire begins to...

One question is do you want to play a game or have people at your table falling down drunk and acting ridiculous? Players might quickly get themselves killed, or instead of having a bar room fight, they players might decide to have their characters attack each other and think its funny! Would...

Maybe now we can get back to discussing this Fantasy Europe. the nations in this one are similar to the historical ones in the 1500s, the biggest difference is the Middle East. Egypt is still ruled by pharaohs, they are non-Arabic and speak Coptic, the Egyptian gods are still around with their...

About 60 million people died in World War II. 1.3 million to 3.9 million people are estimated to have died in the Vietnam War. Between half a million to 1.5 million are estimated to have died in the Iraq War. World War II is still in a category all of its own, as about 20 times the number of...

Well Anselyn is trying to start a historical discussion, this is a fantasy setting. I wish to draw from history without involving modern religions. Gods made up from whole cloth for the purposes of a D&D setting, just don't have the gravitas that gods imagined by the ancients have, as these were...

Last time I checked, German was not English, I've met quite a few Germans and the language they spoke amongst themselves was not English.

The Civil War does not compare to World War II, the Civil War was a war between soldiers on the battlefield, it was a land war mostly and there was no air component, which means it was soldiers fighting soldiers in a two-dimensional war, the civilians were in the rear areas, and there were no...

I don't think Charlemagne would have existed in this alternate universe, maybe someone like him might have, but not him! No specific individual would have exited, not Columbus, not King Richard the Third, not even a pagan version of him.

Yeah that's what I'm suggesting as well, and why not introduce some D20 Modern characters as well to stir things up, and maybe get some of these gods attention if they do. I did read three books in a series called Olympus Bound. Starts with this book...

Well it is a fantasy world, it is just one in the shape of Earth, Everything in the Monster Manual can be found somewhere on this Earth, it is by no means historical. Lets just say this world has a common origin with Earth, splitting off in 30 AD, and then the gods started showing up and got...

I speak nothing but the truth, nothing against Germany today, they did what they did back then and there is no way to white wash it.

There was plenty of war in polytheistic times, the Romans even had a god of War. I still maintain that its no coincidence that the borders of the Roman province of Gaul approximate the borders of modern France. Britain has natural borders of its own, there is a good chance that island would have...
