This looks very heavily inspired by Dark Souls. One question, though. You mentioned the characters retaining basic equipment and weapons. Which asks the question: from which era? Can a character find himself/herself with a pistol, for example?

It is! And you can expect to find the technology level roughly the same. Swords, shields, more exotic weapons if you're lucky. Crossbows and things of the like would be the pinnacale, at least in my head.
