Cinematic (1 part), Realistic (3 parts). Hack (1 part), Thesp (3 parts). Schtick (1 part), Drama (3 parts)

WHAT HAPPENS
Action / Fights (3) – "What we do in life, echoes in eternity." Building (2) – possibly more, as the game will be political. Character (4) – who you are and who you know is more important than what you know! (That's politics.) Character Power (1). Destroying (2) – possibly more, as the game will be political. Exploration (1)

HOW IT'S DONE
Combat, Communication, Intrusion, Persuading

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to be a Roman citizen, when the Senate is corrupt and indecisive, Generals march on Rome to abolish it, when a Republic is an Empire, when some are free and some are enslaved?

This campaign will be fictional-historical, that is, it will use history as a basis for its story, but it will not use historical figures. It will be realistic in theme, and will have combat, honour, deceit, intrigue and treachery. Characters will begin as mere plebeians, but will by association with greater men rise, and their actions will determine the fate of the Republic and the Empire.
