#1 Shiftkitty Sep 26, 2009 18:04:44	I have Al-Qadim, but it's too Arabian in feel. Are there any campaign worlds for D&D (any edition, any publisher) that are based off of Ancient Egypt? I have Gary Gygax's "Necropolis" super adventure from Necromancer Games, but I was looking for more of a proper campaign setting. I also have "The Desert of Desolation" from 2e, but it's also an adventure, not a CS. I can make it from scratch, but I was wondering if there was something already out there. Thanks in advance for any help.

#3 Mad_Jack Sep 26, 2009 18:16:29	I could easily be wrong, but I seem to remember there was a 3rd party setting based on Egypt, um, think it was 3rd ed., but can't remember the name - I'll check down at the local FLGS tomorrow if I get a chance. They've got a lot of old 3rd part stuff. I know there's also a 3rd party Biblical setting, which might have some material for ya.

#7 Shiftkitty Sep 28, 2009 14:23:36	Cool, thanks for the resources, guys! I sort of winged it this weekend with a small group and was quite fortunate to have most of the session taken up by a chariot chase scene through the city. I didn't have to get too historically technical, but hopefully I can hold the group off until I get some clearer info.

The Gurps Egypt source book is chock full of rules neutral crunch.

If you have the old 1e deities and demigods book there's a far bit of decent tidbits (at least on the religion side) there. Also Wikipedia it, there are quite a few solid articles there.
