Would any of you be interested in a past-tech RP based about The Years of Rice and Salt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Years_of_Rice_and_Salt) (Kim Stanley Robinson)?
Premise:
It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur - the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if? What if the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been - a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation. These are the years of rice and salt.
