Low Fantasy, Middle of Week, Gauging Interest

I'm wondering if people would be interested in a game of very low fantasy, or even a pseudo historical game. Lets talk about which systems might do a good job handling that sort of game, whether it be something obscure or something familiar with a few houserules that minimize supernatural creatures and magical items in the party. 
Swashbuckling adventures is a 3.0 based alternate history game with low fantasy elements. And depending on the when, I would totally be down to playlow fantasy.
I'm familiar with that game. Swashbuckling Adventures was the successor to 7th Sea, a game that sits very close to my heart. The setting is a bit more modern than what I had in mind though. Swashbuckling-Adventures does 17th century adventure with some fantasy elements. I was leaning towards something more medieval. 
You could always do the homebrew I did for my black company games: any class with a caster level is banned except for the adept. You can use non-caster alternate features if available. Only the immensely powerful and ancient sorcerers can reach the height of power of the true casting classes. Paladins may select the following alternate feature in place of their casting: at fourth level you emit an aura of antimagic out to a radius of 10ft. Each time you would gain access to a higher spell level, you instead double your aura's range. I.e. 20ft, 40ft, 80ft... because of this power the true sorcerers will hunt you, you must select this alternate at 1st level. From 1st-3rd level you are enwrapped in an antimagic field that only encompasses you.
That sounds appealing. The gamist in me likes D&D, it's just Storyteller in me that's a little tired of the fantasy tropes that come with the game. 
You could use World Of Darkness(new one) and house rule all supernatural abilities/items/templates out of the game. And I would be interested in such a game depending if gametimes fit my schedule/time zone.
You could also run an epic 6 game for 3.5. <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/wiki/index.php/Epic_6" rel="nofollow">http://www.myth-weavers.com/wiki/index.php/Epic_6</a>
I'm interested in a low fantasy game, just curious as to what setting the campaign would be taking place in.&nbsp;
Interested, but have weird scheduling&nbsp;
Dropping a line of interest, I'm free during the week. I haven't played in a low fantasy game before but I'd have to say that the levels I most enjoy in DnD/Pathfinder are the early ones where it's not so much about what spell you have and what equipment you have that can save you.
So totally interested. &nbsp;I'm also free most days (depending on time) and would love to play a low-fantasy/survival game.
Would be down as well. Free most the time.&nbsp;
I would be interested. Be very interesting to play something that doesn't have too much fantasy for a change :D
I like the low fantasy concept, if its on Thursday I'm all yours
Sadly with another semester at the university looking two days after tomorrow, I don't think it'd be prudent for me to try and GM a new game.
