Weird War Rome - A Savage Worlds Setting

[amerigoV]

(from the KS page):
In the Celtic wilds, the forests of Germania, the deserts of Egypt, and the arenas of Rome, dark things rise...

Her legions strode forth from the center of civilization—west to England, east to Asia, north to Germany, south to Egypt—and conquered most of the known world. In their travels, the Legions found things that would be disbelieved by slave, citizen, and senator alike. War elephants, wild dervishes, and creatures beyond description met them at every turn.

The glory of the Empire spread to the corners of the earth, but its shadow found even darker places—and things—that defied record.

Join the forces of Rome and battle through the ages against her enemies. Discover the terrible secrets left out of the history books. Save your shieldmates. Save the Empire.

This went live a couple of days ago and is already funded. The book is written and laid out. The KS is to jumpstart the physical goodies. When the KS ends, you get the digital stuff right away! So you too could be holding off the Gauls and the horrid beasts by the end of this month!

Addons from this point are electronic (music, adventures, etc) and EVERYONE that pledges gets them as they unlock. So even if you just want the pdf, the more people that pledge the more stuff you get!

Veni, vidi, vici!
