Unravel sacred mysteries and explore the empire in this unique alternate Roman history setting where a mad emperor is savior of the world.

As Neptune’s armies threaten Rome, Caligula creates a secret order to root them out.

The Servants of Gaius come from all the ranks of the Empire, chosen by the divine emperor himself. In their quest they face dark cults, backstabbing politicians and powerful gods.

A game of intrigue and investigation, Servants of Gaius comes with a complete alternate history setting but is perfect for any Roman campaign. The book includes:

• A complete and flexible rules system
• An overview of Roman society and government during the early empire
• Stats for important historical characters
• Monsters and other supernatural threats
• Rules for gods and rituals
• A map of the Roman world in 38 AD

Servants of Gaius is availble in print. Copies can be ordered on our website http://www.bedrockgames.net/menu.html or directly at: http://www.studio2publishing.com/shop/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=80&products_id=3617

Is this historic or alt-historic? I know, monsters and supernatural threats, but just wondering how deeply that influences the setting.

It is alt-history. The premise: Caligula is a god and at war with Neptune. He establishes a secret order to fight the sea god called the Servants of Gaius. From there the GM can decide how many mythic or supernatural elements to bring in. For the most part it follows standard Roman history and is well grounded in the historical setting. You can even ignore the whole Neptune aspect of the game and run a standard sword and sandals campaign.

Here is some stuff from my own campaign to show how the game can play if you take a more mythic approach:

There is also a more recent entry on this subject as well.
