Yet Another Winner from S J Games,
By A Customer
This review is from: GURPS Egypt: Tombs, Temples, Trouble (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
This is another comprehensive worldbook from SJ Games. It's designed for GURPS, but it could be used by ANYONE wanting to design an Egypt-based RPG. In fact, it should be useful to fiction writers wishing to set fiction in ancient Egypt--just throw out the game statistics and use the chapters on history and culture.It's in chapters such as these that SJGames supplements shine. A richness of detail backed by solid research put at the fingertips of any GM the basic and not-so-basic knowledge that turn a generic adventure into a vivid, fulfilling story set against a rich backdrop. Egypt is more than pyramids and mummies, and this book proves it. You want to know about the historical rulers? The details of the religion--and how it changed over time? The technologies we understand (and those we don't)? It's all here. An egyptologist might find this book lacking; a gamer will probably find more than she needs. Worth every penny. |
