Weird Wars Rome

From the Librarian: Weird Wars Rome is a historical-fantasy RPG where players become Roman legionaries, battling not only the enemies of the Empire but also supernatural horrors lurking in the shadows of history. You’ll enjoy Weird Wars Rome if you love blending epic historical settings with dark fantasy, facing thrilling battles, eerie mysteries, and the relentless fight for Rome against all odds.


 

 From the Publisher: Stride forth with the legions of Rome to the corners of the world—the Celtic wilds, the forests of Germania, the deserts of Aegyptus—and into a history few will ever know. Witness a history of the dark things that rise as blood and war mingle with shadows and fear.

Fight the darkness in a war that spans centuries. Fight the darkness to your last breath—and beyond! Fight the darkness for Rome!

Players in Weird Wars Rome are legionaries battling the enemies of Rome, as well as stranger things they encounter in their bloody travels across the Empire. The book features two Plot Point Campaigns, new rules for creating “Legacies” from era to era, equipment, strange creatures, enemies and allies, expanded rules for naval combat and sieges, the history of Weird Wars in the Roman period, a new Arcane Background, and an Adventure Generator for any war the legionaries of Rome find themselves fighting.

Weird Wars Rome is a setting book for Savage Worlds, and requires the Savage Worlds core rules to play.
