Basically, this takes setting exploration and tries to turn it into a game all by itself.
It still needs alot of work to turn into a proper game so suggestions are welcome.
Also, do you think you would be interested if someone was to run it? (just a hypothetical question)
Fantasy setting, magic exists: (the magic system is extensively known by the GM but not by the players, they only know what is 'common knowledge')
The players take on the role of an academic faculty (either individual members or whitewashing an entire department) of one of the first universities to be set up in the setting.
A list of pre-known information is given (not necessarily correct) and the players are given a budget to explore the setting and gather information. These expeditions or experiments take time and money. Budget allocations for next cycle are done by how much contribution each department has made.
No world changing events occur unless the players initiate it (eg. inventing a machine that kick starts the industrial revolution... not necessarily steam powered)
