Auction over.

Just snagged it on eBay!

feeds@yuku.com (Frost) — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:30:51 GMT

Woohoo... just nabbed this bad boy on eBay. Love or hate 4e, it's generating some great deals... I paid under $10.00 and that includes S&H.

This is the best sword & sorcery setting I've seen!

feeds@yuku.com (Koraq) — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:58:11 GMT

Great work!

Now I just wish I had a gaming group to use it with.

I had much fun reading it. It's one of the few gaming books I've read from cover to cover. The spirits of REH and HPL lies heavy over this book. :-)

Mesopotamic Campaign (with new hexed map)

feeds@yuku.com (Zulgyan) — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 20:08:51 GMT

Ok, I'm creating my own rules-set and I'm planning to playtest it and develp it in an Ancient Mesopotamia Campaign. I have this excelente module to help me with the patheon, races and some other stuff, but not for much else. I may use the adventure part, of course, converting and changing most of the stuff to my new system.

The campaing will be mostly based in an Argentinian (I'm from there) comic from the seventies, called "NIPPUR de Lagash" (Nippur of Lagash), that is set...

Ubar

feeds@yuku.com (Geoffrey) — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 10:32:47 GMT

A couple of times in the module the lost city of Ubar is mentioned. For those interested in a history of this recently rediscovered city, read Nicholas Clapp's The Road to Ubar: Finding the Atlantis of the Sands:

What? No Blackmoor?

I finished reading Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia today, and I must say it is one of the moodiest, most imaginative modules I have the pleasure of owning. I'm going to adopt and adapt sections of it for my campaign.

I do have one minor disappointment, though. The fine print on page 1 mentions "Blackmoor and The Temple of the Frog". I expected to see some mention or connection to them in the module, but I didn't notice...

Who thought of those 24 gods on pp. 122-123?

I received my copy of Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia today. I took note of the following passage on page 6:

'Other legends tell of the Anunnaki, the "seven judges" or "those who came from heaven to earth". According to these myths, the Anunnaki was an extremely long-lived race from the planet Nibiru who enslaved primitive ape-men and interbred with...

Appropriate Levels?

feeds@yuku.com (chmio) — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 08:31:26 GMT

I bought this sourcebook when it first came out, and of course I was so excited, I wanted to use it right away. My existing group of characters (6 of them, all about 5th level) went in, and ended up getting trounced at the Sea of Bones due to level draining undead. I am not in any way complaining, I am just saying that for my group, with our playing style, this didn't work out at that level.

So now I have the same group (different characters though) who are pushing 9th level, and I...

Running the Adventure

feeds@yuku.com (Merth) — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 21:35:09 GMT

I'm sketching out the plotlines for this fantastic setting and I have a couple questions for Thulsa or anyone else who has run the campaign:

How do you entice the PCs to look for Ishtim, the son of the Saram nomad chief, in the Sea of Bones? It's out of the way - past Ibnath itself - and there isn't any way the nomads could know Ishtim fled to the Sea of Bones after being possessed by the spirit of the Hierophant (unless the Kalabites are known to lurk in there). The chief won't help...

Deities of Mesopotamia in Dragon #239

feeds@yuku.com (ConanMK) — Tue, 08 Mar 2005 20:48:01 GMT

Well the title pretty much says it all... there was a really cool article on the deities of Mesopotamia in Dragon #239... along with the 3.5 update on Pazuzu.

Some great material for a Mesopotamia campaign.

Other adventures to use in your mesopotamia campaign?

feeds@yuku.com (ConanMK) — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 13:48:07 GMT

Just some thoughts on possible published adventures that might go well in a campaign based around Mesopotamia.

"Tribulations of Kanah" is a free short adventure for character levels 1-4 available from Green Ronin, that was written to go with Testament, but could go well with Meso with a few tweaks.

"Treasure Quests: Tombs of Ra" actually has some decent toumbs for PCs or various levels to explore... the only fast Forward product I'll ever...

hi,

I`ve written a quick and dirty review of this great book.

Since I don't know the story...

feeds@yuku.com (Ferret Dragon) — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 10:39:29 GMT

I really don't know how to phrase this question.

My campaign is a homebrew that was adapted to include Necropolis. The only place I could see placing Meso would be across the "Mediterannean".

Is there any room for cross-linkage between Meso's storyline and a storyline that picks up after the defeat of Rahotep in Necropolis? Are there ways to draw non-Khemitian, non-Meso folk into Meso?

What sort of overarching story is found in Meso?

I'm basically...

How is this selling

Bill, Clark, anyone who might know . .

How is Meso doing on sales? I'm curious as to how this format is being accepted in the retail world? I like the soft bound larger book deal. Didn't think I would, but I really dig the format. Is the campaign/sourcebook of Ancient Kingdoms being recieved well?

Let me know what's up if it's not too impolite to ask. I am, of course, only asking for generalities and not specifics. I just hope that we will indeed see others (and not just...
