Quote from: Caesar Slaad;591500Epoch is a setting inspired native American & Mesoamerican myth and history. It's more or less "native tribes defend their land from psuedo-Aztec demon worshipers."

This sounds interesting, but I can't seem to find anything on it. Got a link?

Not an RPG, but you should look up the webcomic Vattu.

Well, this fellow reviewed the book chapter-by-chapter; here's his Epoch chapter review:

I might be able to share a bit more when I get home.

This reminds me of Sid Meyer's Civ series...  Which might make for an interesting spin on 'Kingmaker' in and of itself...

Age of Treason, my published setting for MRQ2/Legend is constructed as an ancient setting, drawing heavily on many periods of antiquity but a strong dose of late antiquity/Eastern Roman Empire in its 'iconic' region. There's a review by Pundit on this site, or follow the links in my sig for more.

You can also find an article about designing a quasi-ancient economy for RPGs on my blog as a PDF download.

Oomph. My apologies. I missed the part where you mentioned it being part of a larger work. Thanks for the link.

The reviewer makes it sound pretty interesting. Does Crafty Games have any interest or intention to expand these settings?

Alas, I'm not aware of any. I seem to remember them saying "if there was enough interest". So far, I haven't heard any concrete plans in that direction.

There was a GURPS Horse Clans book, which whilst technically a post-holocaust setting had a pre-medieval feel to it IIRC.  I haven't read it in a long time, so I could be wrong. It's a tie-in to a series of books if that makes a difference.

GURPS in general has many tools to help you build such a world, with the Low Tech book and add-ons being a valuable resource.  GURPS Fantasy is a thesis on how to build coherent fantasy worlds with any level of technology, so that would also be a good resource.

One of the books has a Roman-base fantasy setting in it (Pax Arcana?); it's either Fantasy, Magic or Campaigns but I can't check right now.

I know you have discounted the 'historic' GURPS books, but they do all have a section on how to mix in elements from Fantasy or other genres, so they would again help you make such a world.

I wrote a D&D setting set in mythic Greece. But, extremely mythic, with centaurs and satyrs walking through cities and Zeus showing up to bang the local chicks. Historical accuracy was the last thing on my mind.

Did someone already mention Legend of the Seeker?

I thought it was quite good, actually.  What didn't you like about it?

I know with the Legend of the Seeker, it didn't follow the books all the way and the 2nd season was better than the 1st one. Did you only watch the 1st season?

I have an idea of doing something like this for B/X. I'd re-skin the elves as  pseudo-Egyptians; dwarves as neanderthals; and halflings as sea faring baboons. I'd have a patchwork of neolithic and bronze age culture areas.

It will be years before I get a chance to run such a thing, though.
