Wich setting makes you drewl?

[DrZombie]

I'm thinking about starting a PbM. The question to you, dear players is : if you had a choice, what setting would you play in? Wich setting would make you drewl with anticipation? What gets your clock ticking?

I was thinking more specifick, for example, I'd like to play in a celtic setting, players limited to druid/barb/fighter/thief humans, with elves and dwarves being creatures og myth and legend

I like Celt/Viking style settings quite a lot.
Also a big fan of Classical (Greek) settings.

Anything, preferably a mid-high level game. Low level characters are too limited.

Oooooh. I also think a Classical Greek setting would be cool, but I have never found a game run in such. (Although once I found a PbP set in ancient Rome.)

I would also go with the Celtic/Viking setting....always fun to wield a large axe. The Slaine setting from mongoose is interesting.

I personally like the low-level stuff to start with. Somehow I'm not comfortable to start in mid-level. The thing is that the players know less about the world then the characters should. By the time they get to mid-level they should be involved in some pretty complicated backstabbing know-your-enemie-know your-allies stuff, and trying to explain all that to a starting game is just too artificial. I mean, 7-10th level, worldwide, is pretty high, 95% is lower than that (offcourse, you keep running into the other 5%)

Any comment, guys?

They aren't mutually exclusive, you know. Before the roman empire, before the empire of Alexander the great even, the Celts had a huge "empire" covering most of europe and russia. They gave the romans a good one on the chin, kicking 'em out of the alps and looting their allies and colonies, even paying a brief visit to rome. That's why the romans slaughtered 'em to a man a few centuries later.
The greeks had extensive trade contacts with the celts.

The viking on the other hand were fairly friendly with the greeks' latter day cousins, the East-roman empire, Erik the Red served with his army as the emperor's guard, their elite fighting force.
