System Notes
This hack is called Mercenary, Liberator, Tyrant and you can discuss it on the thread on RPGnet. I've made some fairly extensive changes to ACKS as written, to accomodate what is a straight historical game. By that I mean there's no magic, no monsters and no dungeons. Details of the changes are listed below.
Character Generation - Changes to Chapters 2-5, all of which impact on character generation in some respect.
Adventures and GM-side - Changes to Chapters 6, 9 and 10, which either impact play or the GM's side of the screen.
