Babylon On Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed

ADD TO WISHLIST >

NOTE: This product is for the First Edition of Babylon On Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed.  First Edition products have been superseded by a new Second Edition, which introduces a new ruleset and significantly more setting information.

Over 3,700 years ago, Hammu-rapi reigned in Babylon.  Known today for his law code, this Amorite king took a minor city-state located on a branch of the Euphrates and created an empire which rivaled any the world had yet seen.

Babylon On Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed is a roleplaying game set in the world of Hammu-rapi, specifically the 25th year of his reign.  Whether players choose to situate their game in historic Mesopotamia, or in some fantastic variant, BFJB gives players and gamemasters the tools needed to experience the cultural milieu and personalities of Babylon in the eighteenth century BCE.

Included in this volume is a complete rule system, along with detailed entries on the peoples, cities and gods of the Kingdom of Babylon in 1767 BCE.  In addition to this book, a group needs only paper, dice and their imagination to play.

My interest in systems like this is for the lore and culture ideas in fantasy.

I purchased the second edition. So, my question is, is there additional lore/culture
to be had in this first edition? Or does the 2nd contain all that.

All the information of this First Edition is reproduced in the Second Edition, although some of the sections have been reworked or reorganized.

**If you’re buying BFJB as a sourcebook for the ancient near east, definitely choose the Second Edition.**

This is an excerpt of something I wrote in 2020 on the Šukamu Press’s blog about the Second Edition:

“What makes BFJB 2.0 an improvement from BFJB 1.0 is the inclusion of significantly more setting information. The cultural sections have been reworked, incorporating significant information that was touched on in Tribes and Armies regarding pastoral populations, as well as everything from historical diseases to Babylonian units of measure. Even more substantial is the upgrade to the geography sections. BFJB 1.0 features lengthy notes on the three major cities of the Kingdom of Babylon in 1767: Babylon, Kiš and Sippar, along with a few notes on the lost city of Akkade along with Borsippa, Dilbat and Rapiqum.

I am intrigued by the premise of this game -- love Bronze Age history, fiction, games, etc. Would you describe the game system?

OK. ...found the answer on the website: a classless d20 system.

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.
