Valley of the pharaohs


The Valley of the Pharaohs is a role-playing game written by Matthew Balent and published by Palladium Books in September 1983. Released several years before Palladium established the Megaversal system, uniting all of its game lines under a single ruleset, the mechanics of Valley of the Pharaohs differ in many respects from the one currently used in Palladium role-playing games. It has been out of print for more than 25 years.
