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 30 years.

gollark: I would offer a reassuring statement of some kind like nevin did, but I'm bad at those.
gollark: > or the importance of geological deposits on politicsIs there much to this beyond the general thing of useful resources affecting politics?
gollark: You *can* still discuss geology, if you want to, you don't need a dedicated channel. It might be nice, but it's not necessary.
gollark: It's entirely irrelevant to my life, so I'll probably forget about even that in about 5 minutes.
