Arcanum Imperii

By Robert McLaughlin
Players: 35
Genre: Roman Cthulhu
TOGA! TOGA!
TOGA! But life in ancient Rome isn’t just one big party. The Second
Triumvirate has been shattered and Rome is embroiled in civil war once again.
Octavian has declared Marc Antony and his Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, enemies of
Rome and the legions march south toward Alexandria. The situation seems dire
for Marc Antony following destruction of his fleet at the Battle of Actium, but
in the dusty hills of Macedonia a dark secret of the empire is waiting to
be unveiled. 
Governor
Publius Artorius Stabo thought he was comfortably distant from the war. He was
happy taking bribes and tribute from the local Macedonian nobles, indulging
himself with slave girls, and avoiding his shrew of a wife. Then, a ragged band
of survivors from  Actium washed up on his shores, a group of Marc
Antony’s legionnaires and a collection of Egyptian priests and priestesses who
claim they are carrying a secret weapon to crush the forces of Octavian. 
Suddenly,
his palace is full of opinionated nobles, Roman officials, and military men,
all with different opinions of what need to be done with these castaways.
Something’s not sitting right in the pit of the governor’s stomach, and it’s
not just the pickled larks tongues in aspic. There seems to be something real,
dark, and dangerous to the Egyptians’ claims and Publius now has to decide who
he’ll be supporting in this war.
