So, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a RPG inspired by the tale of Troy.
This RPG would not concern the battles in the first place, but more the intriges, romances and allegiances of the heros and heroines.

I also think it should be possible that alternations can be made to the plot so that we are not retricted to the plotline of Homer :)

Anyone? :-D

Yeah, I might be in. I'll dig out my copy of the Iliad and do some backround research.

Will we be Danaans or Trojans?

Lol I translated a large part of the piece some years ago with Greek lessons.. but I kinda forgot how the original version went.

It's not my intention that the RPG should be historical accurate. I would prefer more character development etc.

I think both parties might be taken, the Trojans and the Greek as well. It might be fun if the canon heros are taken [like Achilles, Hector, Paris, Helen etc].

This sounds interesting! Would we be making up our own characters or using the originals?...
