[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7335246, member: 6716779"] I want to do an OSR type Egyptian themed D&D with neo Greeks and Romans as well. I have a few 3pp adventures and things like Kobolds Tome of Beats which has Egyptian themed monsters in it. I'm thinking of low level Mummy's and Tomb Raider type games with the worlds equivalent of Giza and the Sphinix being melted heaps (Dragonfire). Recycling names from Mystara I have. Nithia (Egypt) Thyatis (Rome) Milenian (Greek) Nithia will have a big city with the desert full of Gnolls. I want to build it up to an extra planar encounter with the inhabitants of a tomb being put in stasis instead of undead. . The inhabitants will not be human but will be my worlds version of the ancients- think Netheril, Atlantis, etc. I may even set it on an alternative earth and actually use a map of the eastern med replacing some empires with non humans. The game will be more dark ages in tone with the better types of armor such as full plate being unavailable for purchase although you may be able to find suits in various places. Thyatis is in decline and I think I will use the IRL Egyptian., Greek and Roman pantheons and time shift a few things so fantasy Norway will be full of Vikings, fantasy England may be the Elven lands, barbarian tribes are Orcs, Gnolls etc. Low level threats will be Mummy's, skeletons, Gnolls, zombies, and constructs lots and lots of constructs. Fantasy north Africa will have great city states, and I may transpose things like Sheba and Mali onto Fantasy Africa. Greyhawkian Mystara is kind of the the goal. Anyway just a brianstorm thread for anyone with ideas, encounters or anything like that to help me out. [/QUOTE]
