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.

Pre-medieval fantasy settings ?

The Butcher

Quote from: Gib;593797I 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.

I posted a similar idea a while back, only thinking of doing it with RQ6 instead.

Quote from: Gib;593797It will be years before I get a chance to run such a thing, though.

I know the feel bro. :(

RPGPundit

Quote from: John Morrow;593562I thought it was quite good, actually.  What didn't you like about it?

Everything about it was "B movie"; the acting was awful, the plots were awful.

And while my phone is an important tool for my daily life, it is not a life-saving device that KEEPS MY HEART FROM EXPLODING. Fuck, Tony. Get your shit together, pal."

Quote from: theweirdn8;593042Did someone already mention Legend of the Seeker?

I thought it was a decent enough show, but it's pretty much a poster child for medieval fantasy, which is expressly what the OP is not looking for.
