An important part of Nefertiti Overdrive is the introductory adventure and pre-generated characters. It was the characters and their initial adventure, more than anything else, that inspired the creation of the system. Here, then, is the primary motivator of the story, both in her original format and her alternate character format.
You can expect the Nefertiti Overdrive Kickstarter to begin on Monday, 17 March 2014. Mark your calendars and start saving your pennies.

With the armies of Assur approaching from the North, she and her faithful bodyguard, the Etruscan (whom she considers a substitute father in her heart), have come to the temple complex to secure the sacred idols and transport them south, to where her cousin, Pharaoh Bakare (King Tanwetamani of Kush) has retreated with the remains of the royal army.
