Rome!

Ok, I don't know what other forum to put this into so here it is.

Does anyone have a good d20 suppliment that they like to use for running a Roman RPG? I figure with Birthright, someone else has had to have thought about this?

[Master Spaz]

you are right
Birthright is your solution my friend
i worked on a antic campain for birthright for 3 years now
it is perfect
simply turn the gold bars into copper bars and reduce rule book prices to copper instead of GP.
it is a great game you look forward
i would like to play
lol
but im stucked in Canada

There used to be an old AD&D suppliment, I think it was "The Glory of Rome campaign suppliment". It was great fun from what I remember, but I let a friend borrow it back in the 90's and that was the last of that.

http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=5165& Green Ronin publishing has a d20 campaign setting called Eternal Rome. I haven't actually read it, but from what it is supposed to include it sounds like a good book. They also have a book called "Testament", and "Trojan War" that sound good if you want to go even further back into ancient times.

I've often thought of running a BR campaign set back before the days of Michael Roele and giving it a strong ancient world feel, but when I look at a lot of the documents pertaining to Cerilia in the 0-1000 HC days, it doesn't seem to have that much of and ancient world feel from what I could tell.

If any one else has happened to buy any of these books and could talk about them, it would be good to hear.

I have the Glory of ROme supplement and have played it.

I did not acutally create d20 rules for the game but I did use the chariot feats from sword and fist with the gladiator games in my campaign.

If you have any questions, I can try to help you with them.

I picked up Testament at a bargain price a while back.

I'd reccomend it for players interested in playing inancient times - be that on Earth or Aebrynis. It even has a fairly simple, but useable mass combat system. In many ways the setting reminds me a bit of BR - there is great focus on different cultures and the conflicts between them, battles and nations etc.
