Arabian d20 Adventures?

[Heinrich_Uberlich]

Been playing Prince of Persia lately (TOP GAME!) and I'm gettin the urge to run an Arabian Adventures style campaign. Does anyone know of any d20 publishers who have released and Arabian style campaign book ala TSR's old Al-Qadim. I know Necromaner Games has Necropolis but that is more Egyptian than the Prince of Persia style I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance

You can probably get old 2e Al'Qadim in electronic document, then use the following free conversions:
1) Arabian Adventures 3e
2) d20 Al'Qadim Conversion

I think Avalanche has a book called Endless Sands or something. I haven't read it, I just know that the cover is kinda porn-y (like most of their books).

Dragon 315 had a nifty conversion of the Shai'ir.

Parched Tome, a pdf the dipicts a dessert culture. It';s a good book and inspired by arabian culture.

Mmmm...dessert culture


(sorry, couldn't resist)

I would have to think the Mongoose will eventually put out an OGL Arabian Nights or some such before too long. (Maybe some other company just happens to announce they are doing a game like that first... )

That would be pretty cool. I've also heard that while WotC had the publishing rights to the L5R properties, somebody made up a "setting bible" for a Legends of the Burning Sands/D&D book. Kinda like L5R/Oriental Adventures. I have no particular attachment to the world presented in Al-Qadim and I think the L5R stuff was really well done. It's a shame the LBS book never materialized.

Unlike you, I do have a particular attachment to Al-Qadim.

AFAIK, AEG is the sole owner of L5R IP, and that includes the rights to the Land of the Burning Sands.

And I believe you're correct. There was a time, however, that WotC held the publishing rights to the ccg, IIRC. They didn't own the IP, just had permission to make the card game or something like that. I think that's how the agreement that ended up being OA/Rokugan came about. Since then AEG as reaquired the rights.

They may have, but later acquired the company that owned the IP, Five Rings Publishing Group (FRPG). I believed that's how WotC employed Ryan Dancey. They continued to honor the license, allowing AEG to maintain their L5R product line. AEG didn't own the IP prior to 2001.
