It seems like a great resource for GURPS or Lex Arcana…<br />If you know anyone interested to sell their copy…hit me up!Stormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-60562933248351319422023-03-24T13:59:55.790+00:002023-03-24T13:59:55.790+00:00Quite enjoyed this review.

I've only run it once, so my copy is pristine.<br /><br />You (and Johnathan Tweet) pretty much get it right - passable (at best) system, pretty art, interesting historical info, unclear campaign goals.<br /><br />Probably the best use of it would be as background for a land the players visit, rather than live in. Though GURPS Egypt would be better.<br /><br />One odd bit - It had a character sheet in the box that was US legal-sized, which I'm not sure I've seen in any other RPG character sheet. There weren't really enough stats and information to fill up that space.<br /><br />I took a shot at designing a better one:<br />https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2020/05/06/valley-of-the-pharoahs-character-sheet-for-yet-another-dead-rpg/Norton Gloverhttps://polyhedralnonsense.com/noreply@blogger.com
