User description:
A massive supplement that describes the Republican age of ancient Rome, focusing one social interaction but leaving plenty of room for warfare and Roman mythology, too.
Publisher Blurb:
"Any game master who wishes to run realistic campaigns set during the ancient Roman Republic will be thrilled with the lavish resource that Alephtar games offers. These painstakingly researched rules not only provide a staggering array of historically accurate details, but, more importantly, they succeed in evoking that sense of otherness we feel when we come into contact with a culture very different from our own. It brings republican Rome to life as a dangerous setting ripe for adventure, often stepping modestly aside, providing juicy excerpts from ancient manuscripts and letting the Romans themselves describe their world to us directly. Riots, bribery, mythical creatures and spectacular chariot crashes - it's all here!"
