	GameOver - Revenant (c) Eidos Interactive
		Set in a medieval world with an isometric view, you assume the role of Locke with a mission to save the world of Ahkuilon ("a-qwee-lon") from a powerful cult, "The Children of the Change".
		Revenant has been touted by many as a Diablo clone, I prefer to consider it a Diablo killer.
		The control is solid in Revenant, however at times I couldn’t move my character around and it took a few seconds for me to be able to.

	Medieval revenant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A revenant in the Middle Ages was an animate corpse which rose from the grave to haunt the living.
		Stories of revenants were very personal, always about a specific individual who had recently died (unlike the anonymous zombie depicted in modern popular culture such as Night of the Living Dead), and had a number of common features.
		Often the revenants are associated with the spreading of disease among the living.

	Andrew Joynes, editor, Medieval Ghost Stories
		"Medieval accounts of supernatural events were different in both style and function from those of modern times." Moreover, he found that the style and function of ghost stories underwent several transformations in the period he covers in this book.
		Ballad ghosts are revenant corporeal ghosts, but unlike the ghosts Joynes describes, their intent is not malicious.
		Medieval methods of laying a ghost include providing proper burial, masses and other Church rituals, prosecuting the ghosts in a Court of Law (Iceland), digging up the corpse and mutilating it taking care to rip the heart out of the body and then cremate it (North of England).

	Vampires - 2003 Conference Session 6
		Among the methods employed were mutilation of a corpse, physical restraints, funeral rites, and like the medieval fabliaux shows trickery to fool the revenant to depart.
		The paper will present a survey of the medieval conceptual variants of the dead and revenants not only as literary motif but as well as part of folk belief.
		Medieval exempla (short tales to be incorporated into sermons) offer rich insights into what lay people of the period believed and practiced and not only as Christians.

	ArticleThree
		This tale presents a physical revenant, common in Scandinavia, but invokes the power of the Church to lay it through forgiveness of sin, rather than recommending physical 'layings' by stake, fire, or decapitation.
		This tale resembles certain forcible ghost-layings in Danish and British local legends, where the revenant is disposed of by being driven into a pool or bog, or imprisoned in a box or bottle which is then thrown into water.
		The medieval religious view was utterly different: the dead and the living were bound to one another, and to God and the Church, as part of a single spiritual network, and when the dead manifested themselves (even in grotesque or frightening ways) this was not a threat but a plea for help.

		The Romanian word for vampires, strigoi, is derived from the word, and so is the name of the Albanian Shtriga, but the myths about those creatures show mainly Slavic influence.
		As an example of the existence and prominence of similar legends at later times, it can be noted that 12th century English historians and chroniclers Walter Map and William of Newburgh recorded accounts of revenants that arguably bear some resemblance to East European vampires.
		Decomposition also contorts the body into positions other than that which it was laid to rest, adding to the illusion that the corpse has been active after death.

		Scholars of the early medieval are familiar with the notion of Text as an inscribed document, whether that inscription occurs upon stone, metal, vellum or textile - but the concept of inscription and, therefore, of Text, can be extended to cover a range of evidence.
		Thus, one might speak of archaeological remains, land use patterns, traditional stories, remnant practices and revenant beliefs as constituting Texts in their own right.
		Broadly defined then, Text is the means by which we engage with the early medieval subject.

	Tweaking Planescape - RPGnet Forums
		It's pretty obvious that space-ports wouldn't belong, but a DM's got to resist the urge for things like blasters as neat weapons, magical devices that feel a lot like computer networks, intra-city teleportation chambers, and crystal ball phone systems.
		I can grasp that the designers have their own particular take on the setting, but if they honestly believe that Sigil is, at all, "medieval in flavor", they need several remedial courses in history.
		So, yeah, I've ended up tinkering with the tech levels in my Planescape games, and have added quite a bit of steampunk-esque elements.
