09-18-07, 10:29 PM I'm making a DnD / d20 Modern game---based in 476 AD. For history buffs out there; yes, that was when the Roman Empire officially "fell" and when the Dark Ages were thought to have began. Thus, I'm using d20 Modern rules; mostly classes (though DnD classes can work I suppose); but going into a DnD style setting.

It is low magic.

IM me if you are interested in the slightest.

Technically, Rome fell in 1453 CE when some fool left open a gate on the side wall and the Ottoman Turks burst through to Constantinople. Though known as Byzantium, you'd have been hard pressed to find anyone living there calling themselves anything but "Roman".

That goes without saying at the different cultures that considered themselves a new Rome based on some kind of cultural legacy, most notably the Holy Roman Empire and the Tsars of Russia, for instance.

But then again, its only something us history buffs would nitpick. :P 476 CE is hardly an "official" ending to anything. It was just the time when a Non-Roman buttock sat on the throne in Rome proper. And even then, the Ostrogoths generally considered themselves upholding the Roman lineage.

Sorry to nitpick here...but the House of Osman considered themselves Kaysar-i-Rum, or Emperors of Rome, in addition to all their other titles. Therefor, the last individual who called themselves, officially, a 'Roman Emperor' was Mehmed VI, who was disposed in 1922 with the founding of the Republic of Turkey. :D

*ducks out aswell*
