Arise Old Thread!



Just wondering about a couple of things:

Is there a full list of links/topics for these threads?

Is there a Greek one? - someones talk of the Oddesy in another thread has got my brain going. And I've got time to spare.


Edit: Using Slang from some other board. May not really mean anything sensible!

Thanks for the useful set of links, supplements the stuff in the GURPS Arabian Knights sourcebook and my brothers Al-Qadim collection very well. Now to plan out and run an Arabian Knights D&D campaign...

Why thank you very much!

Just started a (pre lunch) trawl of those. Managed to get a few that I couldn't pass up... although no greeks yet. However, witchunting and buckler fighting styles seem to have got me distracted!

Hope the play goes well!
