[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I realized that I have several sets of lectures on the classical era (Famous Greeks, Famous Romans, Great Ancient Civilizations of Asia Minor, History of Rome, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age, Ancient Greek Civilization, THe Iliad, the Odyssey, Greek Tragedies, Classical Mythology, An Introduction to Greek Philosophy, History of Ancient Egypt, Herodotus: Father of History, World of Byzantium, History of Science: Antiquity to 1700, Ethics of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, and the Dialogues, Practical Philosophy: The Greco-Roman Moralists). Which of those, if any, would you like to see a review on? They're college level CD recordings.

Is that something we realy need a review of SE?  I know those are the ones from the company you use to work for, but I think that might be stepping out of the bounds of what we reveiw.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, the history ones I thought people might have interest in them. I don't think they're much different than an audio book in terms of who would be interested. But that's why I ask. Would anyone be interested in seeing the review. If not, I'm sure as heck not going to write it. (though I hope so, because maybe I can get hold of the marketing dept over there adn get a few of the lectures I've wanted, like the Crusades and the Ancient Near Eastern Mythology but were released after I left))

Yeah, i meant to mention armed with lightning jeffe.

SE : GIMME! Give me! Give me!

Frankly guys, the amount of stuff we can review, we might as well turn 'classical' into a week. Either that or split the bugger up like spriggan said - it looks like we could end up with loadsa articles on it.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, what day in April are we doing it? last week? I can probably do two sets of lectures by then. which do you want?

[Spriggan]

Lets aim for april 26, which is the last monday of the month.

[Entsuropi]

Ancient Civilizations of Asia Minor, History of Rome, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age, World of Byzantium.

Me wants these. Review them, and then i know whether or not its worth paying $15 to send a couple CD's to the UK.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

they are pretty good to.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

ok, i'll probably do Asia Minor and Alex the great. The Rome one is a larger course and might prevent me from finishing. Asia Minor and World of Byzantium are done by the same guy so that would be redundant.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

the famous greek one could be done piece by piece...

[Maxwell]

I could do an article on Roman polytheism and it's evolution into monotheism which marked the ending of the classical period.

[Entsuropi]

That would, however, be out of the scope of our site.

[Maxwell]

oh... what about myths of the time?

[Entsuropi]

Dude, go check out the articles and reviews we already have. We want things that can be used ingame.  Stuff like you are suggesting is background. We want application of that background - try talking about how the various classes within greek society interacted, and how this would affect RPGs set there - that could be useful to GM's.
