Historical roleplaying games?

[Paul Elliott]

Hey, 43AD is my game! In my other job as roleplaying game developer and entire staff of Zozer Games . Took years to write due to all kinds of crazy things happening, but it includes all the gritty goodness I like in my re-enacting, plus some British horror themes and a good dose of realism.

I really hope you like it.....

Downloading as I write this: 43AD, "a gritty military-style game with a slice of dark horror", and Warband, its Britons counterpart.

Characters are Roman soldiers, fighting for the emperor in a hostile land against the battle-hardened warriors of the tribes. This is the visible enemy, but beyond, should the Game Master wish to go there, lay the dark secrets of Britain, the night terrors, the death-bringing spirits of the wild, the night crawlers, the face eaters, the skinchangers and the rest of the monsters and wild things that infest Britain. The tribes themselves live in fear of these malign entitites. But at least they know of their existence! As the legions march into hostile territory, they think their toughest battles are going to be with blue-faced tribesmen. How little they know...

So… I'll go and read it, I'll try to play test it this week and let you know how good is it, but it sure seems great.
