Arcanum Imperii

Ancient Rome is caught in civil war as Octavian’s forces advance on Alexandria after the defeat at Actium. In Macedonia, survivors of the battle arrive at a governor’s palace alongside Egyptian priests and priestesses who claim to possess a secret weapon. This live-action roleplaying scenario supports a dozen or more players taking the roles of nobles, officials, soldiers, and other figures with conflicting interests. Players investigate the Egyptians’ claims, pursue their own agendas, and decide where their loyalties lie. The script includes a timeline, character biographies and statistics for more than 30 roles, plus prop and costume information and multiple printable formats.
