Have you ever seen the game TORG? Arthurian Britain, Cyberpunk France, "Lost World" America, "Pulp Fiction" Middle East.... It's an interesting mash-up. Torg - Wikipedia Or 7th Sea? All the interesting bit of Renaissance Europe plus a little bit of viking. 7th Sea (role-playing game) - Wikipedia

How's this for an idea? This picture could inspire something. With a little work this might be a memorable/exotic base. I see it as a small town that grew up around a small arena that (in the "OLD DAYS" ) was once a training school for entertainers (it could be everything from gladiators to...

I should have asked how "medieval" you want the town to be. You may want to include a witch/midwife (who may be the local herbalist/brewer). There should probably be a manor house (maybe the PC's could become Lords of the Manor?)

The above businesses are good start but I would add the following 1. a brewery and/or a winemaker. (Even with magic, you can't expect people to drink the water. Yuck!) 2. Tannery/leathermaker (but this will be on the edge of town and downstream) 3. Spinners (turning wool or fibre into cloth...

A mage of your importance needs something like a Chamberlain. This is a senior servant, someone to supervise those who do the basic chores, look after your finances AND maintain/improve your public reputation. ( Incidentally, Chamberlains in real life were given the keys of a castle and some...

You need a good surname to go with a title "Lady X Devereux-Rochester, Dowager Countess of Stafford", or something like that. Oh, and she HAS to have a lorgnette. Possible first name inspiration..... Queen Victoria's daughters Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise Helena Augusta Alice Maud Mary...

What level of firearms technology are allowed for non-Nazis? If they have modern firearms, you could make the pennies a valuable find. If those pennies are old enough (pre-1997) they are almost pure copper. If dated 1997 to 1999, they're almost pure zinc . If 2000 or later, they're 94%...

Some sort of timing device? Cooking duration can be important... How about an hourglass or egg-timer built into the handle?

To be fair... almost all movies about "The Old West" are historically inaccurate. They've always been more like mythology, rather than any attempt at realism.

Any book by P G Wodehouse (the best comic writer in all of English literature). If you want a TV adaptation of his most famous work, see "Jeeves and Wooster", which is likely to be on Youtube and stars Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (pre-House). Forget any of the Fast and Furious movies. The best...

Artur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" was somewhere in the Amazon basin

Kobolds: The Private Military Company Consider the role of Mercenaries in a sort-of-medieval/renaissance world. People like Sir John Hawkwood, for instance. Ideally, you want mercenaries who are competent, relatively cheap and likely to stick to their contract. Evil but (usually) trustworthy...

I agree with Paranoyd Style. "Insect Wings" seems odd. But if it works for you.... According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, Morgan le Fay “knows, too, the art of changing her shape, of flying through the air, like Daedalus, on strange wings.” The Arthurian myth is set sometime after the Romans left...

Assassin? Or possibly Ninja. I don't think Druids used much armour....

Don't let it automatically recharge after a "short rest". If it has only 12 charges and CANNOT BE RECHARGED then it will be a "cool" magic item that gets used in real emergencies. If you want it to be recharged, make it an interesting cost. Of course, that will vary on what your players find...

I have the Space Opera source book "Casino Galactica" . It's been useful in a couple of games: Traveller and Star Wars. You could use it as a good starting point for Space Opera, or any Science Fiction campaign

Anything involving Mel Gibson. Especially if he can show "the English" in a bad light.. Let's just go with Braveheart 1. Blue face paint? Er, no... That was the Picts (more than a thousand years earlier) 2. Kilts? No. Not yet. Come back in about 300 years. Maybe 500 3. Wallace as a...

It's a very LONG process to create a character. I used it as a source book for other SF games. Actually... that was the fate of a lot of FGU products. "Aftermath" was a good background for other Post-Apocalypse games

It might be from the Palladium Book of Weapons and Armor?

I think everyone can accept that there is a strong argument for "Traveller captured the default setting of science fiction, in it’s space travelling format" (my emphasis) but that's not the only way to look at Science Fiction. Just a few examples that don't involve space travelling "The...
