[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 117164, member: 1125"] Abraham was a prince of Ur who set out into the deserts at the command of his god. Best inspiration 1- the story of Abraham (a Merchant-Prince who is called by an unknown god to abandon his life and set out as a nomad) ie An unknown/forgotten God directly involved in mortal affairs, a nomad tribe survivng amidst ancient civilisations - and their gods(Chaldea, Egypt, later Babylon). The mysterious Melchizedek (an immortal priest of God) The decadent hedonism of Sodom and Gomorrah, visits by angels and massive explosions! Best inspiration 2- Moses and the Exodus from Egypt Best inspiration 3- the age of the Judges. Divinely gifted heroes (Samson, Joshua, the PCs) leading a war against enemy aggressors. Magic Items: Jericho Trumpet, Jawbone of the Ass. Best inspiration 4 - the Prophets (Daniel, Elisha, Jeremiah) all powerful clerics stirring up their people. Best inspiration 5- Solomon (and his father Daoud) The NT can be fun if you cast PCs as members of the early church 9ie after Jesus has been crucified and risen) trying to maintain their faith and survive against religious persecution. IMC I created the Esharite Saga about a Boy named Eshar who was sent by the Angel Asmera to unite the Warring Tribes of Indehan beneath the banner of El' (the True God) whilst being opposed by the powerful, civilised Aramites, their god Baal and his minions [/QUOTE]
