Jan,
Unfortunately, it will only let you view the files section of that group if you're a member. Could you load it up on Google Docs, instead?
Best,

Re: something for everyone.
I have Harold Lamb's Alexander of Macedon to thank. I don't remember my age, but I came across it in my grade school library and devoured it -- checking it out time and time again. I recall it had the most fascinating map inside the front cover: Alexander's route through Asia Minor, seen from a 3/4 ...

Re: Historical Gamers
Ah, MERP! I played the dickens out of that one, when I was a wee lad. Nowadays, though, it's kind of odd to see detailed setting info in an "indie" game. Most presuppose the gamers will make their own. William Stearns Davis' "thing" was making history accessible, and A Day in Old...

Re: Historical Gamers
Thanks, guys! Here's what I posted on my FB page: Come witness the Golden Age of Athens, from its emergence as a world power in the wake of the Persian Wars (480 BC), to its subjugation by Phillip II of Macedonia in the wake of the Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC): a one-hundred-and-forty-two year perio...

Historical Gamers
Hail, Pothosians! It's been a while since i posted anything, though I do frequently lurk and read about the goings-on in the community. I am wondering if there are any historically-minded roleplaying gamers among our ranks? I'm working on a narrative-based RPG set at Athens between the end of the Pe...

I'm not 100% certain but I think this is a modern conspiracy theory. The first mention I ever found of Memnon's end possibly being murder (with the suspects being the rival satraps of Persia) was in this article: McCoy, W. J. “Memnon of Rhodes at the Granicus.” American Journal of Philology , vol. 1...

Greek religion was far more fluid than Egyptian. While Amun was taken to be the Egyptian Zeus by the Greeks, the Egyptians did not turn around and claim Zeus as the Greek Amun. I think Ammon* was only taken into the Egyptian pantheon because it seems the Libyan pharaohs of the Third Intermediate Per...

Diodorus XVII has a goodly bit on what Parmenion was doing in Asia Minor. Unfortunately, I don't have my copy handy and the only parts I have saved on this computer have to do with Memnon and his role in repulsing Parmenion and Attalus: XVII [3] The king gave him five thousand mercenaries and ordere...
