Aegean — The Ancient Greek Roleplaying Game
AEGEANÂ is a tabletop role-playing game about a group of mythic heroes building a new, free city on the shores of the Aegean Sea. There are neighbouring cities to trade or war with, monsters to kill, gods to appease, deceptions, negotiations and bloody skirmishes.
The Setting
The world of AEGEAN is an ancient Greece that never existed – a mix of mythology and classical history. The gods visit the earth and converse with mortals, granting gifts of magic and life to some and fear and terror to others. Fearsome monsters roam the lands and seas making every journey an adventure. The Wilderness is home to strange creatures, some mortal, others half-divine. These centaurs, nymphs and tritons teach, harass or ignore humans as their whim takes them.
The polis—the city and its surrounding lands—is your home and where your loyalties lie. You have recently founded your polis on the coast of the Aegean Sea. The people elect the Arkhon, your leader, through a democratic process inspired by the Athenian model, instead of following the tradition of a hereditary king that many other cities still uphold. The polis sits in a precarious position, between similar neighbouring states who may wish to trade, ally, or make war.
Your character fits somewhere in this world, between the capricious force of the gods, the wilderness and the structure of the polis and its ambitions.
