Title: The Black Pharaohs
Post by: David R on October 27, 2006, 07:17:56 PM
Okay I'm thinking this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2677919.stm would make a great setting. There is also an upcoming documentary on the subject. So any thoughts on systems, sourcebooks that would be helpful in running something like this. Also by all means, if you know of any research materials - interesting articles etc, or just any ideas, please feel free to share :)  

Regards,
David R

It's not a perfect match, but it may give you somewhere to start.

Thanks. I'm actually looking for something more historical. But you how these things go, the plan does not survive it's execution (or something like that) :D

Yeah, maybe. Sounds like a possible way to go.

Why the hell, do I get myself interested in all these research heavy campaigns...:D

University libraries almost always have huge egyptian sections. Look up one specific title to lead you to the proper section and then you can browse. I suggest the "Oxford History of ancient Egypt" as a cool place to start. If you speak Archaeology there are lots and lots of cool books you could get stuff out of.
