It's interesting that Seventh Sea hasn't been made into a movie or TV show. Fantastic almost direct analog to Renaissance Europe? Why couldn't that be the next big fantasy media property?
I get that when money is involved, its gravity pulls towards the sure thing and homogenization, but even then, it's weird how so many people seem to embrace it as a feature. For me the point of fantasy (and scifi for that matter) was about "discovering" worlds, places and possibilities that are different from ours. If I wanted exact 1:1 accordance to history as described in original sources, I dunno, I'd read original sources or something, pretty sure there are enough of them to last you a lifetime.
