Mythic Rome

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to the birth of the Roman Republic, and follow it through to its murderous end, a tumultuous ride through some of its most turbulent history.

Mythic Rome encapsulates the dark and gritty past, allowing players to take part in the founding of Rome: as a bandit on the Tiber; to overthrow the tyrannical 7 Kings; conquer the rival Etruscan city states; watch the city be sacked by Gauls; battle Hannibal during the Punic Wars; take part in the malevolent Bacchanalian Consipracy; fight alongside Spartacus (or against him); or choose sides during the civil war between Caesar and Pompey.

This invaluable book contains rules for everything from political standing to chariot racing, along with comprehensive Roman careers and guides for weapons, armour and Combat Styles of Rome’s legions and her enemies. Also included are obscure supernatural creatures and new magic systems to reflect the way magic works from the perspective of the Romans themselves.

Continuing the quality and historical depth of The Design Mechanism’s Mythic series, Mythic Rome stands as one of the very best historical roleplaying supplements, describing in intricate detail every aspect of everyday Roman life.

The book is packed with quotations from the historians and scholars of the last days of the Republic, revealing shocking details of Rome the Eternal City, a shining pinnacle of civilisation built on the grisly foundations of crime, superstition, war and treachery...

Does the book cover the later Roman periods, as well? Or is it the late Republic/early Imperial period only?

Only the republican period.

Apart from rules mechanics are there any differences between this and BRP Rome?

No, the content is more or less the same.

How much do the Roman magic systems differ from those in Mythas? Could they be used with Classic Fantasy? I'm interested in using this as a stand-in for Thyatis in the Mystara setting, so I would be keeping the standard D&D framework (clerics and magic users, etc.).

The magic systems are based on the existing Mythras versions. We try to use the RAW as much as possible, with slight tweaks to fit the setting.

Does this require the core Mythras rules?

Yes it does. Just like the excellent mythic Britain. The core rulebook is required for play.

Actually, you might get by with just the (free) Mythras Imperative rules. The Roman magic systems and other distinctive rules are contained within the sourcebook, so you won't necessarily need any massive reference to the full core rules in order to play.

Cheers! I already own RQ6, so presumably this will work just fine with that?

It will, Stjepan. RQ6 works just fine with all our products.

Does this book come with a full map of ancient Rome? I have been looking for a supplement with this in for so long and have not been able to find a suitable one yet.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
