Quote from: Séadna;1054569Same as others, either Mesopotamia or Mesoamerica.

Yeah, these are the ones that I'd be most interested in as well.

Quote from: S'mon;1054585I think that's my answer - I'd like a game where I could run every culture that appears in Hercules/Xena, from ancient Greece to Rome, Huns, Norse, China & Japan etc - but with say BC 300 to AD 300 tech, not medieval tech. It needs the full potential breadth of D&D, just classical not medieval.

Xena is definitely a good model (but use a fantasy world) - it needs to have classical Greece alongside late-Republic or early-Imperial Rome, plus proto-Vikings!

I'd be more interested in roughly a single culture rather than Xena, but then I'm more attracted to more historical settings. There is a huge amount of variety just within Chinese culture or just within Meso-American culture.

The best Xena-like game, by the way, is Marcus Rowland's _Diana: Warrior Princess_.  :-)

Three Kingdoms China.  Full of potential but almost entirely ignored.  Qin is pretty, but not what I'm looking or.

Celtic Britain through to Sub-Roman Britain without Arthurian elements.  I already have King Arthur Pendragon, Keltia and Prince Valiant for that.

Pundit if your question is meant to see what next books you should work on. Go crazy imo. So many places and time periods you can choose from to publish a book.

Quote from: Dave R;1054494You should check out Wolf Packs and Winter Snow.  Does what you're after, and with flair.

THANK YOU!

I'd be much more interested in an actual-historical OSR supplement, if it's well-researched and thought through, than some pseudo-historical pastiche. Nothing beats the real thing.

There's a few that I'd like to see, but the one for sure I'd buy is China. Celestial Empire is about the only other Historical China gaming book I can think of, but it's BRP rather than an OSR D&D approach.

I'd like to see a Native American-themed OSR game that for once is not focused on the Aztecs, Mayans, or Inca. While the Mesoamerican and South American natives did build great cities and civilizations, so did a lot of the North American tribes prior to European contact in the 1500's and 1600's.

You have the lost civilizations of the Mound Builders and the Anasazi people, and even in the era of colonization you have the great nations of the Iroquois Confederation in the Northeastern United States, the Powhatan Kingdom of the Mid-Atlantic Tidewater, the Sioux and Cheyenne braves of the Midwest, and the legendary Apache and Comanche warriors of the Southwestern deserts.

For that matter, while not technically "Ancient", I'd like to see an OSR game based on the Early Colonial Period of the Americas, stretching from 1492 to 1620. PC's could be either European explorers and settlers or Natives trying to defend their land and way of life.

All sorts of legendary events happened in this time, the voyages of Columbus and Cabot, the conquests of Cortes and Pizarro, the expeditions of Hudson, Verrazano, Cartier, and Coronado, the disappearance of Roanoke Island, the foundation of Jamestown and the landing at Plymouth Rock.

Hell, I'd love to see a Stone Age/Prehistoric OSR game about the Paleo-Indians for that matter as well.

Ancient Anatolia and the Black Sea region, around 250 B.C.E., during the reign of Antiochus II Theos of the Selueucids, just after the conclusion of his war with the Ptolemaic Egyptians. He was somewhat weak, and plagued by revolts.

Hellenistic Greeks, Celtic Galatians, Pontus, Parthians, Colchis, et cetera.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1054488Stone Age would be my choice. Sticks, stones, bones and magic.

Something like 'Clans of the Cave Bear', with dinosaurs of course and shaman magic. :-)

Paul Elliott's Warlords of Alexander is set only a generation before this in 274BC.

I own OGL Ancients from Mongoose. So yes, I am the audience for this.
