Adventure in Roman Egypt

[Guest 85555]

Planning an adventure set in Roman Egypt (38 AD). Since i figure my players may see this thread, don't want to tip my hand and share what I plan, but I did hope to get some ideas from folks here before I begin. This is during Caligula's reign, but in my campaign he is a good emperor waging war against neptune, and the pcs are part of a secret order trying to eradicate the sea god's mystery cult. So shooting for intrigue and investigation.

If you're fighting Neptune in a country so dependent upon it's major river, perhaps he and those loyal to him would mess with that river. A large storm or series of storms at the mouth of the Nile could be very disruptive to Egypt's economy and the movement of troops.

That is a definitely something I could work into the adventure.

I recommend taking a look at Alea Iacta and, more immediately relevantly, Alea Iacta: Parthia. I'm not sure if our Nile adventure is posted in the the Parthia section, but the GM is a classics professor and the material is excellent.
