Message: <blockquote data-quote="Griffith Dragonlake" data-source="post: 4041803" data-attributes="member: 40379">I ran an AD&D 2nd Ed. game based on the Historical Campaign Supplements with the following ideas:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism never happened.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Dark Ages really were dark and experienced terrible winters which brought on the great migrations. All of this was due to Idun getting kidnapped by Thjazi.  This also weakened the Norse gods to the point that they had to rely on heroes to rescue her who of course did.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Instead of the historical huns, a half-fiend/half-ogre unites the various ogre tribes who waged war on civilization. They almost succeeded except when their leader Etzl was murdered by the PCs.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dwarves became so successful in the arms trade that they branched out into banking. This led to several monarchies defaulting on loans and driving dwarves out of their kingdoms.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A great plague of zombies spread throughout the known world until some intrepid heroes destroyed the lich but not before almost 1/3 of the world's population had died.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Roman paganism organized along the lines of the Catholic church in response to the barbarian invasions. Some centuries later, the Knights of Mars get a charter from the Pope to form an inquisition to root out anyone who detects as Chaotic.</li> </ul>And much, much more.I wanted to replace the Mongols with centaurs with Genghis as a half-fiend/half-centaur but never got around to it.I've been kicking around the idea for some years now of replacing historical cultures & races with D&D races.  Using Hobgoblins for Romans, Elves for Asians & Indigenous Americans, and Orcs for Sub-Saharan Africans.P.S. Northern Crown is an alt.historical setting published by Atlas and written by our veryown Dougmander.</blockquote>
