@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social Post-Napoleonic could work. If you want a literary example of how that could feel 'Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell' fits the atmosphere. I will have a more genteel feel and more people will be enlightened enough to laugh at these old wives' fables until the devil comes to get them.

From what I've read of your translations, I would rather do Post-30-Years-War. It feels more true to the way people are depicted.

Happenstance has it that GURPS is doing a big 30-Years-War playtest atm. Sure it's alternate history with some Yanks taking all the spotlight, but you'd probably be able to lift a lot of equipment and such from the finished product.

Definitely stay within the modern era. I'd saw the Reformation is probably the earliest possible time period without things feeling out of place for the folklore. Most of the truly medieval stuff that survived is way more didactic / hagiographic.
