How well do you think an Egyptian setting would go over for a game?
I use a system with 2d6 + Skill vs. DN (difficulty number) and I need help generating rules for chariots
Any ideas?

I don't see what the problem would be. I'm sure there are plenty of gamers interested in that time period. Are you leaning towards historical or mythological? I think where other games (that aim at a specific period or sub-genre) succeed is when the mechanics and elements of their system are embedded with terminology and ideas from the period they reflect. I don't really have any suggestions off the top of my head, rather than the thought that there is some very fertile ground to great a very distinct system, along with the setting.
Looking forward to hearing more.
Keep it up, and good luck,
Ken
