[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 3314270, member: 8447"] For my last D20 campaign ([I]Tales of New Mavarga[/I]), the reading list would have looked something like this: Alexander Dumas [I]The Three Musketeers[/I] Robert Louise Stevenson [I]Treasure Island[/I] [I]Popul Vuh[/I] Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser stories Bernal Diaz del Castillo [I]The True History of the Conquest of New Spain[/I] [I]Codex Mendoza[/I], et al Rafael Sabatini [I]Captain Blood[/I] (and the sequels, if you really get into it) There would also be several movies, including: [I]The Three Musketeers[/I] (the Michael York/Oliver Reed version from the 1970s) [I]The Mission[/I] [I]Captain Blood[/I] This is a good tasting -- we also had a pile of Osprey Men-At-Arms books of appropriate nature, several general histories of piracy, early colonization, Mayan & Aztec culture, duelling codes, works of theology, etc. It was quite the little work-up between fantasy and reality -- a what-if scenario involving not-Europeans coming across the not-Mayans/Aztecs during a period of minimal internal social upheaval, thus keeping the newcomers to the coast, forcing a bit more cooperation (numbers vs. technology).
