[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 8170046, member: 14159"] They made a whole series of them in the early 1990's. The green-covered "Historic Reference" series, each of which covered a different historic era/setting, some of which overlapped to create a larger setting if you wanted to cross them over. [B]A Mighty Fortress[/B] (1500 AD to 1650 AD) 16th and early/mid 17th century Europe. The French Wars of Religion, The Thirty Years War, The English Civil War [B]Crusades [/B](1096 AD to 1291 AD) - Crusades, particularly the First Crusade through the Fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem when Acre was captured. The book only covers the Crusades in the Levant against the Caliphate and leaves out the Northern Crusades, Cathar Crusade and other Crusades that were strictly within Europe. [B]Vikings [/B](800 AD to 1100 AD) - Vikings [B]Charlemagne's Paladins[/B] (714 AD to 987 AD) Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire [B]Celts [/B](600 BC to AD 537) - The Celtic world [B]Glory of Rome[/B] (753 BC to AD 476) - The Roman Republic and Roman Empire [B]Age of Heroes[/B] (2200 BC to 279 BC) - Ancient Greece. They each had rules for running it as a "realistic" very-low magic game with no PC spellcasters and very few monsters or NPC spellcasters. . .as a low-magic game where spellcasters and monsters, existed but were rare, and a fantasy history version that was basically a slightly lower magic than usual D&D world with fewer monsters and demihumans, re-skinned as a historic setting.
