A sneak preview of a forthcoming Chaosium BRP supplement for roleplaying in Ancient Rome… In actual fact, this was originally written as a player’s guide for a campaign set in Rome at the time of Nero. But by the strange hand of Fortuna a friend passed it on to our friends at Chaosium, who expressed an interest in publishing a complete campaign setting! The following pdf document is a tiny taster of what will appear in the final book. It contains some character generation, a streamlined version of the BRP rules, a brief look at Roman magic, how to create a Roman name and some fun Roman laws. The final book will include greatly expanded versions of the above, along with an in-depth guide to Roman society, culture, history, mythology, some purely Roman creatures, maps of Rome, rules for gladiators and charioteering, and anything else I can squeeze into the final page count! But for those of you who can’t wait, feel free to use Pax Romana as a springboard for starting your own Roman campaigns… Valeas, Pete
