Any sourcebooks for Egyptian style play?

[sfgiants]

Hey all, as the title states. I am looking for d+d or d20 sourcebooks I could use to work on an Egyptian style game. Anything out there?

Thanks

I believe Green Ronin's Hamunaptra is the most critically acclaimed one. Check out the reviews here.

WotC's Sandstorm also has some Egyptian flavor tucked away in it, along with some additional rules on life in the desert. Sorry, life in "The Waste."

Deities and Demigods has the gods, of course

Doesn't it have some Set-flavored monsters, too?

 

[Tsillanabor]

Yes, and it has a list of Egypt-appropriate monsters as well.

It's in the "similar to this thread", but I've always enjoyed the Bastion Press "gods" books. The egyption gods one is here. There's a couple free ones too, like 'Norse gods' you may wanna check out.

I urge the OP to only buy D&DG if he can find it HEAVILY (60% or more) discounted.

Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra is a well written little egyptian resource. Available both in boxed set and PDf format.

I think it's more appropriate for "Egypt-inspired setting dropped into a D&D world", and then, one where you have a sort of Kalamaran "the same deities being known by different names in different cultures" attitude. Elsewise, the inclusion of standard races, though worked in as well as you really could expect them to be, seems a bit odd. You still might wonder why there are in the setting in the first place if you are outside of a D&D context.

But then, it's not like you couldn't drop the nonhuman races and keep the rest of the setting and character material.

Green Ronin's Testament has a bit less D&Dish (but still "mythical") take on Egypt.

Mongoose just released "Stygia" for its Conan game that I picked up this week. While it is not actual ancient Egypt, it certainly has that feel to it.
