Mass market production is cheaper, fashion trends follow the markets.

How retarded are you?
It's a thing on it's own. Shitload of global-spanning wars. Pretty much everyone still somewhat balanced in power, so you can easily have a situation where major European power gets rolf-stomped by natives, who are onlyu a little behind in technology at this point. High-tier politics and a lot of court intrigues. Reformists clashing with reactionaries all over the place. Religion still matters, but realpolitik matters more. Exploration actually kicks in, because instead of just mapping shores, Euros start getting inland to see what's going on. Entire planet is in volatile state, where every step can make or break you, because there is no clear superpower that really dictates what's going on...
And you are retarded enough to question the sense of such setting, because you literally can't think? Get back to fucking history textbooks, you stupid cunt.

The Age of Sail goes from c.1500-c.1850, up until steam took over.

It's pretty clear that op wants there to be games about the period, but doesn't know any. Read the post before losing your shit.

Sourcebooks other than GURPS? And even that system frankly had a rather few, unless you include some of the 3e Alternate Earths.

They just look so god damn good.

Funny thing is only a small part of the golden age is before the 18th.

It's the Caribbean, men. Those fucking islands.

Are you saying you DON'T want the PCs to run a revolutionary republic and then completely fuck it up to levels unforeseen? Because I want to see how retarded the PCs can get.

Best RP period Ever.

Luke Crane made an OSR game about playing murderhobos right after the French Revolution. I don't recall what it was called, but look it up.

I heard you were talking shit about Mr. Uncorruptible.
There's also Khaos 1795, a rpg where the Supreme Being is in fact an elder god and reality is tearing above Paris, with revolutionaries acting as resistance fighters against the first french empire. It was pretty fun.
Carter Parker
Why are you so angry, bro?
Samuel Bennett
Not him but there's a level of ignorance of, for instance, a whole century that falls between "hurr pirats" and cogfop that gets your blood boiling.

Nolan Carter
>Götterdämmerung
Do you have an English version of that? All I can find is that it's some kind of 18th century occult secret society game with bitching art.
Ethan Clark
Sorry, not that I know of. It's sadly not as popular as Riotmind's Drakar och Demoner.
Unfortunately swedish RPGs are rarely published as PDFs and swedish roleplayers are loath to crack their books to scan them so there's nothing to share even in its native tongue.

That's 19th century, bro. It's a sweet timeframe, but there are games set then.

Yeah fair enough, basically I'm just a huge fan of anything about history between the late 1700's - early 1800's and tend to think of it as it's own "period".
Julian Davis
Historically that makes sense, there's just no real games set during the 1700s. Maybe an American Revolution game or two, but nothing substantial until you get in Napoleonic wargaming.

Look up Colonial Gothic.
Set in 18th century colonial US but easily transportable to any other part of the globe. Central idea is colonials dealing with supernatural threats, but the system is good enough that it is easy enough to remove the supernatural elements and play it straight.
