Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moulin Rogue" data-source="post: 1582048" data-attributes="member: 1192">I see kind of an interesting challenge here, because in many ways D&D already looks more Renaissance than medieval: the economic system feels post-medieval, some of the weapons and armour are already Renaissance-era, gnomes already write tomes on engineering, and so on. I think a Renaissance d20 book should address this right away in the early pages and establish what a Renaissance campaign "feel" is. If this is a bright and confident age, what new conflicts and adventures could there be instead of "orcs at the gates"?Does the campaign world need to have recently finished going through a "dark age"? If the world is being "reborn", what was holding back the flowering of technology/learning before? (There could be supernatural explanations). Do dwarves dress in ruffly things? Is Leonardo da Vinci a gnome? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'd want enough to flesh out the Renaissance era but still let me bring in swashbuckling if I want to go this way, or political intrigue if I want to go that way (this was the age of Machiavelli, after all!) So some inspirations/suggestions there without bringing in new mechanics incompatible with my d20 naval sourcebooks or Dynasties and Demagogues would be real nice.</blockquote>
