Pulp Egypt
I recently noticed a
thread on Gaming Report which mentioned a sourcebook
called 'Pulp Egypt' for any RPG. As two of the games
that I have recently bought and like are Savage
Worlds and Spirit of the Century, this
looked too good to be true. Well, I had to take a
look, and I'm glad I did. This is a sourcebook by
Peter Schweighofer which costs $20, and is a 176 page
PDF packed with information on Egypt (some of it in a
similar manner to the Call of Cthulhu RPG
Cairo Sourcebook) to support pulp campaigns.
Having quickly skimmed the PDF, there are suggestions
on how to run archaeological, espionage and crime
based campaigns, and some excellent material for
reference. I think that it will be easier to
integrate with Savage Worlds rather than
SotC, as the latter is more free-form and
co-creative. However, it will add to both if you
fancy some Indiana Jones style adventures.
If you feel that $20 is too much to spend on
something you've never heard off, there are a number
of free scenarios on the site which give an idea of
the quality of the material. I recommend this. They
can be found at Griffin Publishing Studios'
site.
