Earlier today, Tim Brannan, over at The Other Side blog
posted a review of
Barbarians of Lemuria: Legendary Edition. I think everyone should take a look.
I thought it sounded so cool that I had to pick up the pdf myself. Actually I
bough the Dogs
of Lemuria Bundle. Basically for an extra 2.50 I also got a copy of Dogs of
W*A*R, which uses the same system but emulates soldier/war movies of the 70's
and 80's (and would be great for an Expendables/GI Joe sort of game).
New system... what's the first thing I do, stat out a character I love. Okay, confession time. Despite the fact it's scripted I liked wrestling throughout middle school and into high school. I always loved Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I remember being excited for the Scorpion King, watching it in theaters, and not being disappointed. It's still one of my favorite Swords and Sorcery flicks. That little confession is just to explain why I picked the title character, Mathayus as my first attempt to stat out a character. I've also included the monstrous version from The Mummy Returns.

Languages
Spoken: Akkadian, Greek, Egyptian
Written: Akkadian, Greek, Egyptian
Boons: Hard to Kill, Poison Immunity
Flaws: Last of the Akkadians (Unique): Mathayus is the last of his people, who were known to be relentless warriors and assassins. This is a burden that weighs heavily on him.
The Scorpion King
Though it's never quite explained what caused Mathayus to
become a conqueror according to The Mummy Returns he became just
that. Selling his soul, to Anubis, he truly became the Scorpion King. (Edit, I just read the synopsis for The Scorpion King 3 and it explains it. However, I like to pretend that the first Scorpion King was the last of the films)
