[QUOTE="Lord Captian Tobacco, post: 5301834, member: 93707"] Best of luck finding those books. They have been gone a long time. Though I own each, using them has been 'hit and miss'. The crusades and Rome gave a wealth of ideas for my Birthright game. Viking information seems to creep into every barb character. The Greeks didn't get much attention until after the movie 300 fired them. But the most use was the Mighty Fortress. I sat down with three players for a three day weekend. (In the military during peace there is plenty of time after hours.) We ended up with three gentlemen of fortune, an Englander, a Frenchman, and a Spaniard. each with a different style of swordplay, each with a different religion, and each convinced of the supremacy of their nation. the fighting was limited to outsiders and the only barbs these guys threw at each other was the bar bill. The whole thing turned into a remake of [U]Rosecrans and Guilderstern are dead[/U] complete with one-upmanship and verbal sparing. It was funny. It was crude. It was Tasteless. And when the weekend was over we never went back. It was too good to mess with by not meetingthe bar we had set before. I wonder what fun we have missed out on... [/QUOTE]
