Caravan Logo

Explore ancient Mesopotamia and take part in the birth of empires and the dawn of civilization itself. In the process, the players will to protect a trade caravan as it travels from Ur to Nineveh. Along the way, they'll battle the desert sun, be attacked by bandits, and kicked by the camels they're supposed to be protecting.

Mesopotamian regional map

5000 years ago there were no myths. The stories that we today consider to be epic mythology -- battles between gods and monsters -- were actually happening. Beasts of legend patrol the skies, lurk in the waters, and stalk the wild lands between city-nations. Human-kind has only "civilized" a few miles of land surrounding each city-state and trade, culture, and militaries are all new inventions. Meanwhile would-be Gods walk the earth openly recruiting followers and building armies. The only advantage civilization has is that most dragons are still pretty young. Medieval heroes have it easy!

Gnoll Battle

While mostly adventure, this book is also a bronze-ages sourcebook for the Mesopotamian region, complete with a regional map, details on the cultures of the time, and minor rules and equipment modifications for bronze gear.

Thoroughly researched, Caravan is historically accurate, or at least as accurate as you can get while still having halflings and gnomesrunning around underfoot.

I was reading the description and was excited until I got to the part about halflings and gnomes. I want a strictly human approach. How big is the role of halflings and such in this setting?

Halflings and gnomes exist in the world but the different races live in their own settlements relatively far from each other. To quote from the text: "Halflings, gnomes, and goblins do not inhabit the region, preferring less arid regions, and are not available for player characters."

There is one half-elven non-player character and gnolls are a significant source of opposition. Other than those, there are only human and non-humanoid monsters.
Thanks for your question!

I agree with Mark. That stuff seems way out of place. It looks pretty cool otherwise.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
