I have a great love of history.  Therefore, in the RPG games I run I will always put in something that has a historical touch.  I use legends or historic alphabets to enhance the game play.  Listed on this site are some alphabets I've collected over the years, as well as hints and tips for enhancing your favorite RPG.
