i've left it idle for a long time but i've been working on a fantasy heist rpg called The Merry Band set in roughly the 1890s-1910s, inspired by The Knick, Lupin the Third, Leverage, Dishonored, Eberron, and others, and posted about it at @caputlupinum

I have a suspicion that D&D and co. are a lot more Early Modern than they let on. not in interesting ways though just in a "pop culture collapsing everything from 400 AD to 1600 AD" way. absolute monarchy is a good example, it's a 15/1600s idea that everyone thinks is medieval

This is one of the things other than EVERYTHING I'm so sad the Wheel of Time TV show dropped the ball on. The setting in the books is "1700s without gunpowder" culturally and aesthetically, and rather than lean into that with the costuming, they opted for the most boring bog standard medieval fantasy.
The backdrop for the game/setting I'm working on right now is, like, fantasy 1550s but what if the monarchs of not-Europe responded to the Reformation by declaring G-d dead, and that somehow actually fucked something up in Heaven.
Did you ever read that xmen comic based in the 17th century? It was pretty great :)
