I think the problem with GURPS Egypt, at least the problem I had, is that it is more of an introduction to the subject and you end up having to do your own research anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5373792969086619654.post-72242694602228597292009-07-06T21:20:43.841-03:002009-07-06T21:20:43.841-03:00Green Ronin's Hamunaptra is excellent; it prov...Green Ronin's Hamunaptra is excellent; it provides a decent mix of historical and D&D fantasy.<br /><br />For more pure historical, go with Green Ronin's Testament, which has a section on Biblical Egypt.<br /><br />There's also Gary Gygax's Necropolis, in both Dangerous Journeys and d20 flavors.

Palladium also made an Egyptian themed game as one of it's earliest RPGs, and it was available as a free download from their site last time I looked.

I had them both at one stage, but found them not exactly up to my mental image of "an antique land..." and ended up giving only an Egyptian/Bronze Age gloss to my "pyramids and ornithopters" Aura Storm campaign instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
