Ok, ok, ok I'm ripping off STar Trek some but so what?<br /><br />I was just downloading a copy of GURPS Ancient Greece from Scribd.com<br />Nice resource, BTW, and the thought occurred to me of an ancient Greek campaign where the "gods" were alien visitors and magic is alien tech. Some of the creatures of myth could even be legit creatures imported from across the galaxy for some reason.<br /><br />So the campaign runs in Phase 1 with the PCs being Greeks and gaining some limited contact with the "gods" but the players never realizing that this is a sci-fi campaign and thinking its just a fantastic fantasy campaign.<br /><br />Phase 2 is the obduction of the PCs and a group of warriors to fight for their alien abductors against other primitive abductees and their abductors. Now contact with the gods is higher and the players realize that this is a SCi-fi campaign. The point here is to overthrown the abductors and figure a way to return to earth.<br /><br /> (Read a novel along this lines where a roman legion was abducted in this fashion and had to fight other primitives- Galactic civilization had rules about commercial control of planets being abjuticated with primitive weapons by proxy armies- cant remember the book or author right now)<br /><br />PHase 3 Return to earth but time has move on and they dont get back to their time.
