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.

Quote from: jhkim;968223The Golden Dawn, from Pagan Publishing, is set in Victorian era England, but it has some Arthurian material in it.

Actually, the main campaign has Arthur returning.  See, all those centuries ago, he drank Milk of Shubby, and he's been in a coma, until some idiot wakes him up.  He's not evil, or even amoral, but he's very much a product of his time, and considers Victoria to be a pretender...
Quote from: jhkim;968223Regarding Aztecs, I personally would set it roughly pre-contact, so there is the possibility that conquistadors (and thus doom) may come during the course of the campaign but it's not a given.

The coming of Cortez means that the stars are beginning to come right!  Hmnn, some weird looking Sea People have sacked the old Mayan cities.  The end of civilization is upon us, and as foretold, there is no escape.

it may not be what you intended with your question, but I'd like a sword and sorcery game with Cthulhu.  d20 CoC had crossover rules for porting it to 3rd ed, but I don't want that, I'd rather port fantasy into d%CoC.  maybe a runequest crossover book, I don't know.
something like that probably already exists.
I've also toyed with running Superworld x CoC.
(I did run a short game of Stargate-SG1 x CoC, and everyone walked away from the table angry with me.  some as fans of SG1, and others as fans of CoC)

What about an Inner Space setting, where weird science is used by the investigators try to eradicate microscopic or psychic alien invasions inside the body of a powerful politician attempting to corrupt the world?

For the Arthurian Pagan vs. Christianity you could really twist the comfort level by having Christianity be the Mythos inspired belief. Remember how Nyarlathotep dropped the bomb that he was Jesus in The Dreaming Stone adventure?

On a more serious note, apart from the eagerly awaited Down Darker Trails (= Old West Cthulhu) and Colonial Lovecraft Country I personally don't really need more different historical periods for CoC. There's always room for more locations, though. I'd love a 1920s sourcebook for Mexico City and surrounding areas, for example.
