[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 277575, member: 1125"] I've done 16th/17th Century alternate Europe (based loosely on Solomon Kane meets Baron Munchausen meets my imagination) which also includes Caribbean Bucaneers (based on Tim Powers 'On Stranger Tides') - may have been too eclectic. However recently checked out Septentrionalis an online homebrew set in 17th century America (I like) My current campaign is set in Mythic Polynesia but does include real historic events (according to the local traditional history) eg the Tongan political expansion into Samoa and Fiji, the War of the Twins in the Australs, the discovery of Rapanui (Easter Island), and its subsequent 'fall', the rise of Kamehameha in Hawaii and many others. Had to make cultural changes to 3e standard (PCs are members of communities, no mammals, no riding skill - replaced by Waka handling, some changes to classes and races, more nature-themed magic, few (if any) underground dungeons, a lot of Ship-based and underwater adventuring) This is great and because its an area I know well I'm loving it:) I also had a Yuan Empire campaign based very loosely on the Mongol Empire (included most of Khitai (Asia) and 'Eastern Europe'. Because if wa only loosely based (Genghis was dead and his son in power) I was still free to run general adventures and because of the nature of the Empire - East meets West, Religious freedom et al I could have any class and race I wanted from DnD or OA. Um isn't the default DnD pretty much chivalric Western Europe and a touch of viking (Barbarians with rage!)? [/QUOTE]
