OGL Ancients anyone?

Ham_Slaad · Mar 25, 2004

Just curious if anyone has picked it up yet and what their impressions are. I have TESTAMENT, but am always interested in well-done bronze/iron age stuff.

Ancients will have to be far, far better edited than any previous Mongoose product for me to throw money at it. I'm not holding my breath.

OTOH, Green Ronin's
The Trojan War should kick booty.

On the first count, I can't help but agree

On the second count, all I can say is "OOoooooo! Me Want!"

Necromancer Games' Mesopotamia should also be good as well.

Trojan War? That definitely sounds like a possible pick up.

I'm much more likely to trust the Trojan War than I am Ancients. Mongoose has traditionally had a lot of low-quality art (although some has been better), and some poor editing. Nonetheless, they have a lot of products on a lot of subjects, and I can't deny that I've picked up more than a few, despite their faults.

One of my friends bought this, FR Player's Guide and a few others. He's enjoying it and is thinking of adapting some of the rules to his SL for a 'grim & gritty' style. Haven't looked it over yet myself so I couldn't help you there.
