A popular of game genre is "Renaissance". Not only is suited for RPG games, but Renaissance Faires have been a popular festival celebrating the "Elizabethan Period" and giving way to LARPs. This genre tries to play around the historical era of the "Age of Exploration" and the growth of "Scientific Knowledge". It is a human only campaign, and fantasy races are purely myth & legend (but can be encountered). Most of the campaigns can be full of heavy political intrigue between various nations, churches, and merchant houses. More action minded adventurers can explore the world making new forays into far off nations and encountering exotic cultures and new lands.
Familiar Campaign Settings set in the genre of "Renaissance" are:
7th Sea
Dangerous Journeys
Folkloric
Skull & Bones
Lands of the Samurai
Northern Crown
Qin
World of Freeport
