Heya.
Before I hand over my game idea for your delight or ridicule, I wanted to say a little about my approach to playing RPGs.
I like to craft stories rather than crunch mechanics. I run some rules-lite games using a system called Wushu for this very reason, allowing me to play the game, not the rules, all the time. But i have a pile of Pathfinder material I have never, ever used... and I wanted to specifically use one tome. I've run D&D, AD&D 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 for countless years before delving into other systems like Vampire, Exalted, and the like.
So... anyway, to the game idea:
A desert filled with Ghul, sand-sharks and horrors beyond mention; a river running through it, bringing life to the shores in seasonal floods; a populace of humans and near-humans surviving in the baking sun by tilling the fertile land on the banks of the great river - these are the images that come to mind when people hear about the Kingdom of the Pharaoh Rames IX.
What doesn't come to mind is the hidden dangers that lurk within the cities of mankind, of the dangers that lurk in the heavens, and the terrors that await their time to burst forth from the Netherworld and consume everything.
The game is basically set in a world similar to Ancient Egypt, with plenty of room to explore. I thought I might have 3 players make a party and hopefully find an opportunity to apply Mythic tiers to them through the course of play. I want the game to remain fairly epic in scope, but also very Ancient World in feel.
So, any tips? Any feedback? the link to what I have so far is here:
