Hamunaptra or nile empire?

Post by Scipion_Emilien »

I think of rebuilding Har'Akir to make a campaign into the last day of pharoah anketpoth reing and I stumble upon these two egyptian setting on this internet site : http://www.hallofhero.com/sand/

There is too the one of FR into mulrohand, but i don't think that FR can fit the build.

So any one has an opinion on those two setting or could say to me which one would be closer to ravenloft to the magic lvl and shade of gray?

I would love to advise you but I have no idea about any of that stuff. And I'm generally a big fan of historical research anyway.

Best of luck, though - if I come up with anythuing, I'll let you know. (Right now, I'm on an ancient/medieval india binge, working on something for Sri Raji. :) )

Gary Gygax made a d20 game all about Egyptian culture: d20 Necropolis. Hope this helps. :)

There's also the Kingdoms of Nithia in the Hollow World, but I don't think that's what your looking for either. You would have to darken it a lot to make it more Ravenloftian.

So he asked us which of two setting to choose and . . . we proposed two more. :lol:
I would go with d20 necropolis. I don't have the setting but there is a reason that we follow the celebrities. :)

Yeeeahhh.. that's a good point... um, chosing between the first two, I'd say Hamunaptra sounds better for Ravenloft. Necropolis also sounds good.

No problem alhoon for adding setting, I were only showing the one i know, but if someone of you know the rare pearl, not problems, i ll listen!

As for Necropolis I was aware of his existence but didn t add it in the first place because Im more interest in the living egypt than the dead one. Without forgetting that this adventure seem for really high lvl players. But ll keep my hear or rather my eye open if someone has good thing to say about it.

As for hamunaptra, it seem to be done by green ronin, anyone know this publisher? They seem to have a great experience of peusdo-historical D&D setting but I prefer to know more than a seem.


N.B. I cannot browse through the book since i have no RPG game store near actually.
