After re-watching The Scorpion King, I'm kind of into the idea of Fantasy Egypt as a setting for Conan-themed adventures. Are there any good systems for that kind of thing, or sourcebooks?
It's truly incredible the number of times you've made this thread.
Make sure you remember Egypt was a centrally planned proto-communist shithole. If you want Conan style adventure and the philosophy that comes with it the fantasy Egyptians should be the antagonists. Source: 1177BCE: The Year Civilization Collapsed
>>98106524This is true. The aliens who founded Egypt would later go on to influence the USSR, the druids and the ChiComs.
>>98106503GURPS Egypt, of course.
>>98106544
Jackals by Osprey, it's a Bronze Age fantasy and has not!Egypt
>>98106544>>98106549Hmmm, but what if I combined GURPS Egypt with GURPS Transhuman Space...
>>98106503There is always Amonket or, if you're looking for inspiration there is the old Sand Storm splat book from 3.5 there is neat stuff in there to pull for your !Egypt setting.
More than one time when alone as a kid I carefully paused the VHS at the exact time when the hot virgin sorceress rolled over sitting on Mathayus. There was a hint of pussy or underwear in that upksirt, but sadly the resolution didn't reveal much, kek.
>>98106714Oops wrong board, pardon me.
>>98106564Felicia...
>>98106524Well at least you posted your source; that more than most political spergs do.
>>98106503Anyone know if they had martial arts by chance?
>>98107040you are such a worthless person.
>>98106503t u m m y
>>98107040Possibly not in the Asian themes stereotype traditionally associated with martial arts, but they probably had some early forms of various Greco-Roman wrestling that could have spread to Egypt, not to mention the obvious war training of soldiers.Some imported more Asian themed fighting style brought by a far traveler would not be entirely implausible, though, if only considerably unlikely due to the extreme distances (i.e. more than one year travel time).
>>98106503
Is this the thread?
>>98106503not egypt, but this might be interesting or useful given the period and region
>>98106503I did a campaign once with space magitech Egypt that was partially inspired by Gods of Egypt and partially by Stargate, it was pretty fun.
>>98106503As long as you keep to the motif that Egyptian fantasy adventures should be about fate and the cyclical nature of myth and history - "what has happened before must happen again" and all that good stuff.
>>98107777Also, beastfolk are almost non-negotiable.
>>98106514Aegypt is Etaerneal
>>98107806In ancient egypt this would be a divine being.
>>98108605Something something a divine human and a divine beast exist in a superposition something something
I actually believe the desire for animal girls is a kind of quirk of human brain biology that was probably present even in primordial cavemen.
>>98106503you can find a good number of resources on egyptian history on archive.org>I'm an egyptiaboo, my copy of How To Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs comes from when I was a teen and has been used extensively, but that's a language aid not a culture/religion/history bookthere is a palladium egypt (new kingdom, 1400s BC) game called Valley of the Pharaohs. I've not read it, but given the era when it came out, it's probably mechanically kinda jank but may have good resources for comparative statsI am loathe to ever recommend playing gurps, but the supplements tend to have good sourcing for infonWoD Mummy is expressly not about actual egyptian mummies, and instead invents a pre-egyptian civilisation that created superhuman deathless reincarnating megamummies, buried them, then died out.
>>98106537He's probably talking about the palace economy, meaning that almost everything you earned got taxed and the palace would "generously" provide you with food and water using your own money.
>>98109100Thats exactly what I was talking about. I even cited my source (Eric Cline's book) but there are a lot of people who think Im a "no fun allowed" troll because I take verisimilitude seriously in a fantasy game.
Egypts a great setting. I got a world I need to get back to expanding on where the main continent is a giant desert thats a mixture of Egypt and Arabia. Theres other parts of the world I never elaborated on mostly cause I focused on the desert seeing as thats where I planned on putting a larger campaign.Ran a one shot where a party enters a Tomb to get some riches, plenty of trap rooms, undead creatures and a giant scorpion divine beast. It was fun
>>98106524>>98106503>I want Conan style adventures in an Egypt type setting>mfw they don't realize Conan 2d20 exists and Stygia is a major player in the setting
>>98109100>>98109123Thanks for clarifying, but I don't see how that conflicts with my post in any way.
>>98106524Palace economies being communism avant le lettre is one of the biggest memes ever perpetrated by marxists in academia.Read a book published after 1975.
>>98109135>mfw they don't realize Conan 2d20 exists and Stygia is a major player in the settingCringing and coping about it instead of educating the ignorant says more about you than about them.
>>98107671It is a thread.
The Conan universe is basically just our world but scrambled up. Egypt is Stygia and it's mentioned often and the subject of many adventures. Just set it in Stygia.
>>98107040Probably not the kind you're thinking of, no.
>>98106725In their tongue she is Ta-Miu, felineborn.
>>98106503The only true option for a fun Egyptian sci fi setting.>jaffa, kree!
>>98106714>the exact time when the hot virgin sorceress rolled oveHu?>>98109123In Egypt's defense, everyone was doing that shit across the Eastern Med.>>98107777Checked. Also the whole ancient ancients vibe. Eg the oft mentioned fact of Cleopatra living closer to the today than the building of Giza, or for a different example Xenophon admiring the ruins of Assyria and wondering who built them. Always fun to have an ancient civilisation (not necessarily ayy lmaos) in a game that set in Not!antiquity.

>>98106524Pretty sure Egypt was a theocratic monarchy. Government programs and slavery isn't just for communists, you know.

Check out ÆGYPT - Playground Of The Gods supplement for Zenobia (at bottom of the page). Zenobia itself is a free sword & sandals game set in a more fantastical version of Rome's Crisis of the Third Century. It also has a commercial version with a bit more stuff on DrivethruRPG.https://www.zozergames.com/zenobia.html
>>98109135Stygia is really only aesthetically Egyptian, the society is its own thing for REH to justify Snake Wizards.
>>98114372When your civilization is ancient enough that it partakes in archaeology of itself, you have a lot of historical material to work with.
>>98106503Here ou have a few Egypt settings. I like historical games, so I have a few of them.As a system, the Servants of Gaius uses the Bedrock Games engine, the corebook has Rome as a engine (Egypt is an expansion) and it's simple and very solid.gf /d/0xb830
>>98107040If you wanna play a pulp martial arts version of Egypt, that's easy to do. Get the same I recommended in the previous comment, Servants of Gaius and the Egypt expansion. Then get Wandering Heroes of the Ogre Gate, which is probably the most popular wuxia game. They use the same engine and are compatible between them, so it's damn easy to hack.
>>98115692Different anon here, thanks for the drop.
How do we bring back Egyptian fashion, lads?
>>98116188Put us all in a desert and make the stuff comfy to wear? That's all I can think of
