We need to be able to buy a DCC based on an ancient culture.

What games do you want to see? What can we do better?

Like Egyptian, Babylonian, Hittite, Assyrian, etc.

We have several quality adventures for d20 on the market that could use a rockin'-cool boost in the arm with a vicious dungeon crawl side quest.

Good idea. We have an Egyptian one in the works. I'll keep the others in mind, too.

Two current "source books" DCC's could draw from, if permission were given, could be Necropolis and Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia. Both of these are from Necromancer Games.

Lots of potential! Of course, I am an Ancient History major and I may be a wee bit biased....

heh

tell me about it, I'm an archaeology major specializing in roman settlement/economic patterns. Lets just say that in my campaigns, it isn't unusual to see dwarven legions stomping around, building marching camps and making a nuisance of themselves.

*grin*

I'd definitely be interested in seeing settings modeled on or displaying aspects of ancient civilizations. Though, sourcebooks specifically about actual ancient civs seem a little silly to me. For the most part, they wouldn't make for good adventuring and there's tons of information out there anyhow.

Have you seen either of the two I mentioned? The adventures are really grand in my opinion. Necropolis is going to be the end of a campaign for the PCs I'm DMing. I want to have several side quests to break up this long adventure and DCC would do fine.

I agree that a "source book" w/o the focus being the adventure would be silly.

I'd be if the premise is PCs from a traditional European setting venture there.

In a word: YES!

I always try to work some India into my campaigns...in one I had the monastic orders set up that way, in another there's a Raj that's the token "rival foreign power" element to the game.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't you the guy who did Complete Guide to Rakshasa?
Strong book, by the way.

You're not mistaken -- the CG to Rakshasas was one of my favorite things to write. It's nice to hear that someone got some use out of it.
