[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7500975, member: 6925649"] Well it is a fantasy world, it is just one in the shape of Earth, Everything in the Monster Manual can be found somewhere on this Earth, it is by no means historical. Lets just say this world has a common origin with Earth, splitting off in 30 AD, and then the gods started showing up and got busy. Gaia is known as the "mother of monsters" so in the 1st century AD she made a lot of monsters. One could say this world didn't exist before 30 AD, and someone made a copy of our Earth, and then added a bunch of monsters, gods and magic to it. The date on this world is somewhere close to 1500 AD if Jesus ever got crucified, which did not happen here. So this world is about 1470 years old, and anything from before 30 AD is from our Earth, there is also a time lag between our modern Earth and this fantasy Earth of about 500 years. So we can introduce D20 Modern characters into this setting if we want. Lets say some scientist in a secret laboratory builds a transferal device. So if its 2018 on our Earth, it is the equivalent of 1518 on this post Roman fantasy Earth, so the first thing that might occur to them is they built a time machine, until they start investigating their surroundings and realize the differences, pagan temples instead of Catholic Churches and the like, monsters in the forest is a good indicator that this is not time travel as well. Maybe the gods got together and decided to manufacture their own version of history, Saturn/Kronos helped out a bit with this, since he is the god of time, he was able to reach into the past and with the help of other gods, make a copy of the Earth circa 30 AD, and then they got to work adding things to it.
