This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Where might I find a decent map of Germania?

Quote from: estarThis is a great plot line btw. A corrupt Roman General in the decay of the western empire making a deal with the devil himself, (in the form of the huns) to crush our noble burgundians. Of course the so called burgundian raids are a result of prior provocations by said general. The burgundian raided roman territory to rescue various members of their clans that moved further west for trading and settlement and were being unjustly treated by Aëtius

Of course the Roman point of view is probably a little different.

Well, if I weren't basing my game on Wagner's operatic suite that would be great -- in Wagner's work, however, the ring is a literal ring created by dwarves, not a treasure trove coveted by Burgundian kings. Wagner's Germania differs from historical Germania in significant ways ;)

True. However the ring can be still created by dwarves, just the roman general and the huns could be one more antagonists in the setting. Similair to that ring movie that was released in the past year, except with a little more detail. (I think they had a hun analogue but not the romans).

Also I was doing some reading on Aetius, the general in question, apparently at the time of the downfall of the Burgundians he was fairly young. So it will be a newly minted ambitous roman general.

Things to consider, definitely :)
