This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Qin: the warring states is set in well the warring states period of ancient china....biggest hurdle to play though is that cubicle 7 have all but given up translating the books and im not sure what the status is for the ones they finished.

PIRATES & PLUNDER.

Also TOON.

Omega

Of all things. As oft mentioned in these sorts of threads. Furry Outlaws and even moreso Furry Pirates are great historical setting books with Disney animal people instead of humans. And the magical elements can be jettsioned without any loss at all. I know a few groups that played it as as a straight up historical game with no magic and swapping humans in for the animals.

There were also some articles in Dragon for running D&D in more historical settings and even one for running pre-historic.
