Think more along the lines of Budgell, "Imitation is a kind of artless Flattery."<br /><br />I get that the game as written won't be touched by the Reformation, but I plan to give it a look as the potential basis for Britain of my LotFP campaign now, now being the 30 years war. So my little exercise will be joining the world of your good self and Immortan Jim. For local reasons P v RC is a Law v Chaos match. I know it's not want either of you intended, you know I don't really care.<br /><br />If I like what I see I may even pick up AoI. I have this half-assed idea of using OSR products to stand for different countries and areas in a combined OSR world. Red tide, Japan. Fantastic Heroes & Witchery, France. Astounding Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, Skandiwegia. More Rifts than TORG.<br /><br />Our jews are Gnomes :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-29740884840225131702015-06-03T19:21:35.997-04:002015-06-03T19:21:35.997-04:00Given the name I'm assuming this is a troll po...Given the name I'm assuming this is a troll post. The game is about 70 years too early for Protestantism, and a bit too late for Hussite heresy. Since I take an 'alternate history' route here, and have substituted the Sol Invictus religion as the 'winner' over Christianity, the role of Jews becomes considerably less significant in Europe. They are mentioned in the book as a very minor religion/cultural group that also worships the god of Law in a different form.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-5275321424834346682015-06-03T16:11:55.955-04:002015-06-03T16:11:55.955-04:00I'll probably give 'Perfidious Albion'...I'll probably give 'Perfidious Albion' a look as a potential precursor to 'Help! Help! My Princess is on Fire!' but I'll leave the Catholic Church as a big bag of Chaos facing off against the ineffable Law of Protestantism.

Be...Yes, it absolutely does have gunpowder weapons. Because of course, gunpowder weapons existed and were first used in serious ways during the War of the Roses. So the book supposes that they're astoundingly rare at the start of the campaign, but would be quite common by the end of it.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-43853618704183375242015-06-03T15:21:35.972-04:002015-06-03T15:21:35.972-04:00Touche!Touche!RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-80324420484707594302015-06-03T10:36:15.648-04:002015-06-03T10:36:15.648-04:00I'm hooked.
