What Historical Analogous Era is your campaign set in?

[Emirikol]

What analogous historical earth Era would yo consider your current campaign(s) to be set in?

It's interesting to see what people are doing for campaign era's. Sure, D&D is it's own "era" but I believe it actually has an analogue to earth eras. What are you gaming in?

My fantasy games tend to have a middle ages flavor. It's a mix of all three.

The closest historical analog to my campaign world is the time between the sinking of Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius. I didn't see "age undreamed of" on the list, so I chose nothing.

Well, I voted Renaissance because that's the way the last few sessions have felt.

Thing is, my 'world' is set in the far future of Erth, thousands of years after worldwide cataclysms/war destroyed most of the population and created weird mutants (orcs, elves, etc.). There are vestiges of technology as well as villages that look straight out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There are wealthy patrons who live in mansions not too dissimilar from Buckingham Palace guarded by 'men' with armour and swords.

I guess it's a bit of a mishmash, but I like it.

I think the closest analog to Sigil is Renaissance, though there are definite analogues to later periods and one could make arguments for them as well.

Of course, plane hopping can lead to cultures at various stages of advancement.

I have no idea. Once you factor in Planescape and Spelljammer elements, it becomes a bit hard to make the comparison.

I'd say early Renaissance or late Middle Ages.

My Rhunaria campaign has just a few feudal lands and a lot of open space all around that is yet unexplored, and some rudiments of Renaissance technology are showing up. Flintlock firearms invented by dwarves and humans recently, mechanical clocks supposedly invented by dwarves recently (non-dwarves ain't sure yet if the rumors are true), and the various small inventions of halflings (who, in their distant, hidden valley, have been using somewhat-advanced inventions for wine production, kinda-manufacturing cotton, producing silk, making farm work easier, milling grain with water power, and a few other things).

No all of the above?

My Homebrew ranges from Prehistoric to the far flung Future.... so all of the above The default setting is close to Early Ren.

The campaign I'm currently in is Planescape... so it counts as most of the above.

While the main campaign takes place in the High Middle Ages, there are other areas of the world considerably less advanced and some with additional technology.
