Serbia and surroundings from 1350-1400 is a fucking perfect setting that nobody ever fucking uses.

There was some infogra[hic that pointed out how a bunch of things were going on during the events of the Meiji Restoration at the same time that would make a party between a samurai, a cowboy, and a few other things completely feasible.

Thirty Years War

If you go to the 16th or 17th century Japan, you can mix a pirate, samurai, handheld rocket launcher, european plate armor and an armored dog sidekick into a single character. And he'll be a realistic ninja beneath all that.

True.
> second world country
False. Second world refers to the former Soviet sphere. Yugoslavia was unaligned.
> and nobody can pronounce the fucking names.
They're really not that hard bud. It's just that anglosphere westerners seem to take their inability to read and sound out non-English words as a matter of pride. The only thing I could see being justified is being unable to pronounce the "lj" because that's not really a sound that shows up in that many other languages.

just before and just after ANY major armed conflict.

regardless of time period these are times that offer the most adventure.

in the growing tensions you might play the spark that kicks things off

and in the aftermath you have sudden opportunities to capitalize on to carve out power for yourself.

any period you know well enough.

It was a gentleman thief from Victorian London, a wandering cowboy, a disgraced samurai, and a Carribean pirate.
