[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7399473, member: 23"] This is a reference to a game I've already done - a two part campaign that lasted over 3 years. The above was the first part. The second the party traveled along the silk road on a long quest, ended up in western China then traveled north to Siberia, stopping at the Denisova caves along the way. Honestly I think that the second part was not as good because it was, alas, a bit railroadish. Both the players and myself were very happy with the first one. One of the adventures in the campaign involved going to Aleppo to try to sneak in the Citadel under Nur ad-Din's nose to grab an artifact from a temple of Hadad (the ancient Storm God)buried beneath... I had obtained a comprehensive guide to the citadel that I used as a resource. This was before the Syrian civil war mind you. I had dreamed of seeing the Citadel in person, and now, well :( I'm asking because I'm looking forward. I enjoy this type of historical gaming. The next one - and this may not be for a while, I'm running a 5e game right now in Yoon-Suin (highly recommended) - will probably be set in Dubrovnik, although now I'm a bit peeved/amused that Gavriel Kay beat me to the punch. I guess what's why he's a well known author and I'm a nerd on EN World... [/QUOTE]
