I’m sure this exists but like, it sounds so cool. world crumbling around you as barbarians invade from all sides and corrupt leaders sell their morals for quick coin. Standard “medieval” fantasy land makes for a poor OSR setting (imho) but a world so utterly on the brink of collapse, holding on by the thinnest thread just sounds like a fun place to explore.
Nevermind the interesting narrative point of paganism vs Christianity, or the wide range of area to explore, or the novelty of exploring ruins that are only a decade old at max.
I just think it’s a neat concept.
