AEON: Ancient Greece Vol 5 - The Lords of Olympus brings the very Gods themselves to your game! Also includes the NEW adventure "The Challenge of the Charities"
AEON: Ancient Greece Volume 5 - "The Lords of Olympus"
Greetings O' Glorious Hero of Antiquity!
Welcome to Mount Olympus, where the Gods dwell and play games with the lives of mortals for fun and amusement.Â
AEON: Ancient Greece Volume 5 "The Lords of Olympus" breathes life to the very Gods of Ancient Greece and brings them to your table.Â
It's our largest zine yet!
Clocking in at a whopping 68 pages(!), here's what you get when you back this project today:
The Gods' Crit Table: In the off chance your players decide to challenge one of the many Gods found in Ancient Greece to battle, this table will deal massive amounts of pain and suffering to your upstart mortals. From slamming your PC's to the ground... the instant shattering of bones... to curses and damage to their souls... the crit table of the Gods is full of flavor. The kind of flavor that brings tears (of laughter we hope) to your players. And if not, then maybe next time they shouldn't pick a fight with a God... Actions have consequences after all...
We all know the major Gods like Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, etc... But the Olympians are not the only divine powers in ancient Greece. The halls of Mount Olympus are filled with scores of lesser gods such as Asclepius, Iris, Hestia, and many, many more! We've included them all - even the Titans for some epic clashes!
Get full stats and abilities for all of the major and minor Gods of Ancient Greece.
A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE! "The Challenge of the Charities" - The Charities, also known as the Graces, are goddesses of mirth, beauty, joy and festivity. Zeus has decided it is time for these gorgeous goddesses to get married. But only the worthiest of mortals will be considered.
This adventure pits any PC willing to undergo one of the most difficult challenges of their lives. Most who try, fail and die. Will your PC's survive and win the hand one of beautiful Charities? Truly one of the greatest treasures one could ever hope to get!

Volume 4 brings you:
A map of the Underworld with descriptions of each of the 18 areas.Â
How to Travel to the Underworld: Discover the 5 ways PC's can enter the Underworld for an epic adventure and tale worthy of being retold by Homer himself - assuming they return to the land of the living that is...
What Happens When We Die? This section explains what happens when a person, a monster, a shade or even an Immortal dies. This information is based on actual Ancient Greek history that has been uncovered by archeologists and historians.
Denizens of the Underworld: This is a mini-monster manual where you'll meet the Major and Minor Gods & Goddesses along with the many monsters of the Underworld. Hades... Cerberus... Charon...

A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE! The Halls of Hades: This unique adventure was designed to be played either 1 on 1 (Judge and Player) or with multiple players who have had a PC die.Â
The adventure pits your player(s) against several challenges set by Hades himself. If the player(s) manage to succeed at each challenge, they win their soul(s) back and are returned to the land of the living!
Of course failure means you're doomed to the pits of Tartarus or elsewhere in the Underworld, a servant, slave or prisoner of Hades for eternity. No stress at all.
