The Pundit has new stuff to offer to you.
The DriveThru link is here. As he said, it will be up on Amazon presently so if you're willing to wait you'll get it there.
As for the Summary:
Sword & Caravan is an OSR setting book for playing a historically accurate fantasy campaign set in the East along the region known as "the Silk Road" at the turn of the 12th/13th Centuries. This historic campaign's timeline is set amid the turbulent era between the Third Crusade and the Mongol Invasions. This marked Europe's earliest period of post-classical interaction with the East.
As Players, you may decide to take on the roles of crusaders, merchants, or explorers traveling to ancient and mysterious lands. Alternatively, you may choose from any number of unique character concepts native to those lands.
With a detailed gazetteer of every region along the Silk Road from the Crusader States and the Muslim world to China, Sword & Caravan gives you everything you need to explore the history and varied cultures of a region filled with war, intrigue, commerce, and conquests.
Pundit's put out good stuff in the past, and he's nailing this Historical Gaming niche of the High Middle Ages. If you're into this sort of thing, then Pundit's your guy and you ought to pick this up; if you're more of a fantasy guy, but you want to be like Robert E. Howard and have some firm grounding then you're also someone that ought to give this a go. (Like you can't see a Silk Road analog in the Hyborian Age; it's right there on the map.)
At the very least, look through a copy; you may be surprised by what you find.
