Medieval/renaissance tech and medieval/renaissance culture? I won't lie, if it is, it isn't a revolutionary concept. If you push the post-apocalyptia, it starts to sound a bit like Dark Sun, about which, I cannot complain.

Yes! I love this idea!
The comics/movie Nausicaa of the valley of the wind is what comes to mind instantly, since they use swords and guns in a feudal society with airships, and they have to get new engines dor ships since they eon't know how to make them.

I would love to see a forum game about that.

Something a bit like that. There would be mentions of modern day tech, but used with a rather archaic way of speaking or something.

Examples:
Modern day civilizations: "The ancient peoples"
Nukes: "fallen comets"



I was also thinking of where in our world this alternate future RP would take place.

Idea 1: Somewhere in North America, although renamed something else most likely.

Idea 2: The British Isles ravaged by nuclear winter.

How about China? And maybe New Zealand is the only country left with he ability to construct the tools of the Forebearers.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.
