Is there any plans (or pre-existing resources) for any online/vtt play support? Be that an editable character sheet, roll20 support, a Foundry module, or even just a google sheet variant of the character/city sheet?

I built my own in Foundry with this module https://foundryvtt.com/packages/sandbox

It wasn't easy tho :) I would also like some official resources for VTT. It would surely make me want to play more.

I'm currently working on some online tools to add to the Aegean website, there's an FB post showing progress here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/810251730568613/permalink/821608532766266/.

Foundry is currently the thing I get asked most for so I will bump it up the road map. Ioan can you share what you created with sandbox?

Hi!

I am very interested in running a heroic campaign set in mythic Greece and have purchased Aegean Adventures which I ran with the BRP system. I am considering purchasing the Aegean core rules but I wonder how suited they are to me? Nearly all my experience has been with D100 simulationist type games such as Basic Roleplaying (BRP), RuneQuest, Mythras, Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. How similar is Aegean to games like Mythras or BRP? Would you call Aegean a simulationist RPG?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Ronnie, glad you enjoyed Aegean Adventures, there's an example of play on the website which should give you a better idea of how the Aegean rules work (https://www.aegeanrpg.com/example). It tends to lean a little more narrative than Call of Cthulhu but not hugely so.

Thank you! That was very helpful. I am going to buy your heroes book first and will pick up the core book next.

Hi, I'm really thinking about buying this. It looks and sounds awesome! :) But I tend to like rules-light games. Is this a crunchy die pool system? Thanks, Robert.

In terms of crunch it's somewhere in the middle. If you've played Mutant: Year Zero or Forbidden Lands it's somewhere around there, or a bit more crunchy than Blades in the Dark. There is a gameplay example on the website which might help you come to a decision: https://www.aegeanrpg.com/example/

Thanks for taking the time to answer. :) I'm perfectly fine with those two games, but I'll check the play example. Thanks again! R.

If I'm understanding correctly, it's not even the character sheet. It's the Polis sheet. It shows the characteristics of the city-state that that is your character's home. The blurb states: "Rules for creating and developing your home city and miring yourself in its politics."

You may have my attention but $30 for a PDF, system-unseen and undescribed? Gonna need more than your little blurb there.

Is there anyway we can get a preview of the book? Right now it only shows the character sheet. A little more might be more persuasive.
Thanks!

The preview is only a character sheet- not nearly enough to sell a $30 pdf

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
