One of my dreams is to run a Historical campaign of some kind. There's so many interesting periods of history I'd love to create a campaign in but I'm finding it an almost overwhelming task. I don't want to run a completely historically accurate game (nor would my players particularly care), I want to add in magic, monsters and myth, but I want it to be at least believable in the sense that the borders of countries are correct, the level of technology is appropriate and historical events are represented.
In my searches for resources I've been constantly thwarted in finding a setting book 'just right' for me. I was looking at the Ars Magica Mythic Europe line, as well as the Vampire: The Dark Ages sourcebooks but I'm always on the hunt for more.
What books, RPG and otherwise, have you found indispensable for running historical games? What's your favourite era to run games in? Doesn't matter what time period it is.
Regale me with your historical campaigns and resources, if you will.
