These are original interpretations of these works though. I have a builder who is working on the northern tribes of Europe. I imagine one may see Midguard in my mud at some point. ;) Why? I find this time period fascinating. I did run into someone who was attempting a recreation of Ancient Judea on a cold server. After several site switches I lost track of them. :( I do have another possible theme. I have several hundred pages of source material from an active FRP campaign. While this is original material, I consider it sort of generic high fantasy and I don't have much interest in developing it further. My first thoughts were that translation into a mud would be difficult. Although I may be wrong about that and it could form the seeds of a secondary world.
