atgxtg said:Done to death? Hardly. I can only think of three books that cover the Roman Empire: Gurps Rome, AD&D Glory of Rome, and D20 Mythic Vistas.
If you're into Imperial Rome (like me), I'd heartily recommend the Fvlminata rpg, which has mechanics based around the Roman worldview, and even uses tali dice rather than regular dice. From top to bottom it was designed expressly for Roman roleplaying, and is a damn fine game (if sometimes difficult to track down). I also know of another rpg book on the horizon dealing with the subject, but professional courtesy forbids me from giving details, unfortunately. Still an Imperial Rome RQ supplement would be cool. Heck, different supplements for different key historical culture-time mixes would be great; Ancient Greece, Imperial Rome, Napoleonic, etc.
cheers!
