I’ve been throwing around the idea for a Sword & Planet setting for a few months. Having read a number of the core series, John Carter, Esau Cairn, Sojan, Kane, etc., I’d like to get away from the displaced man kind of theme and I feel that without that it would just be a science fiction setting.

Thinking about it, I wondered if instead of just one man, a large group of humans are transported to an alien world. Maybe, a ship that was meant to colonize another world for some reason or another end up on a world they were not prepared for. Over the course of generations, cut off completely from Earth and failing technology are forced to adapt to their environment and the resources available.
