[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4667023, member: 40177"] Well, if you're set around the year 1550 or so, then you have to remember that many of the historical events of that era were ultimately a response to the New World (you mention how the new world wasn't around yet, but it was discovered in the late 15th century). New crops were making people eat healthier (and adding to a population boom), and a billion more reasons you already understand. All in all, it sounds like a good campaign. You may have some problems, though, figuring out why some of the historical tropes you like would still work in a fantasy game. As an example, if Eladrin can teleport, would any defensive fortifications near Eladrin lands look like Castles? Would siege artillery be all that common in a world where many of the big enemies live in underground dungeons? And, if there are widely available healing rituals, would there have been a Black Death (and the resultant Rennaissance)? [/QUOTE]
