An All-Gladiator Campaign


Gamer Life General Discussion

Dark Archive

I have been watching Spartacus (TV Series) and I am inspired to run an all gladiator campaign. Has anyone else done this? What problems have you encountered? Any suggestions you can offer?


There is a campaign setting called "Eternal Rome", which might be inspiring. I hope it is still available.

Sure is...

Right here on Paizo.com (and for just $2.00 no less)!

Eternal Rome

Another product that is a good resource is Mongoose Publishing's "Gladiator: Sands of Death"

*EDIT* which apparently is still available on Mongoose's web site (Gladiator: Sands of Death)...

I've run several arena-based campaigns. The key is to emphasize to the PCs that while they may be teammates this week, they may be mortal enemies next week.

Thanks for the link, Digitalelf!

I tossed a 2.00 USD copy (!) into my cart and combined it (along with a couple of other things) with Sanctum of the Serpent God soon to ship.

I'm looking forward to giving this campaign setting a read. I've been a fan of Roman History for a while, and really enjoyed HBO's Rome. I've just watched one episode of the first season of Star's Spartacus, but it looks like it's a fun watch.

I enjoyed the first season, but they really drag the whiny introspective emotional parts out far too long.
