Help with a campaign idea

[airbornegrove26]

Hi guys I am looking at making a d100 campaign chart for my Roman campaign.  Along the line of Ironmitten's idea.  Just thought I would ask for some outside help.  So if you have any fun positive or negative world effects I would be happy to hear them.  ie. barbarian uprising, political assassination things of that sort.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

what period? Republic?

here some first simple shots:

- sea pirates plague, no connection to Sicily
- due to drought there is a famine in Rome
- a germanic tribe invaded and is going to settle in the Po valley
- greek mercenaries landed on the east coast of Italy and rading the villages
- volcanic eruption of Vesuvius

Thanks Prof,

Nice ideas will put them to use.  We are gaming Caesars campaigns, and the fallout of his assassination.  Lot of interesting stuff in the battles following Caesar's death.  This is what I have so far. 

Campaign:  Several contenders for emperor, plus senate power, and contenders for senate and Rome to return to republic. 

Try and do four turns per session.  Which would mean quick decisive battles.  So around 5 turns.  Allow for player intrigue you may buy slave revolts pushed out of enemy territories.  You may make alliances, or become protectorates of another play.  You may obey orders or revolt.  The casualties you incur in battle  continue in campaign.  So you must replenish your ranks.  Make a rpg sheet for each player which will chart his stats and units and income throughout the game.  Get an idea of what everyone else wants out of this.   Roll for table of the gods.

Table of the gods: low numbers bad middle numbers average high numbers good
