AKROPOLIS NOW - A Sword and Sandals Adventure Stylized in Ancient Greece

Are you ready to embark on a grand adventure that will transport you to the captivating world of ancient Greece? Welcome to Akropolis Now, the epic tabletop role-playing game that delves deep into the rich tapestry of Classical and Hellenistic Greece. Prepare to be enthralled as you step into a meticulously crafted fictional setting that combines the vibrant cultures of the Mycenaeans, Minoans, and the glorious city-states of old. Brace yourself for a journey through time, where the gods meddle in the affairs of mortals, legendary heroes rise to the occasion, and the clashing of city-states shapes the destiny of a nation.


In Akropolis Now, you'll have the opportunity to forge your own path in this mythical world. Immerse yourself in the realm of ancient Greece, where the echoes of epic poems resonate through the air. Create your character from a diverse array of choices and options and produce character types from corruptable politicians and skilled warriors to wise sages and enigmatic mystics. The destiny of the city-states lies in your hands, and it's up to you to navigate the treacherous waters of politics, warfare, and divine intervention.


Unleash the power of your imagination as you explore the legendary cities of Athens, Corinth, Thebes, and more. Wander through bustling marketplaces, gaze upon awe-inspiring temples dedicated to the gods, and engage in philosophical debates with esteemed thinkers. Experience the thrill of embarking on quests inspired by the heroic exploits of figures like Achilles, Odysseus, and Heracles. Whether you seek glory on the battlefield or unravel the mysteries of the ancient world, the adventures in Akropolis Now will push your limits and challenge your wit.


But be wary, for the gods are ever watchful, and their divine machinations can shape the course of your journey. Brace yourself for encounters with powerful deities like Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon, as they wield their influence over mortals and vie for supremacy. Will you earn their favor or incur their wrath? The choices you make and the actions you take will have far-reaching consequences, shaping not only your own fate but the destiny of the entire realm.


Gather your friends, roll the dice, and let the tales of Akropolis Now unfold. This is your chance to rewrite the annals of ancient Greek history, to weave your own epic saga within the annals of time. So, ready your weapons, don your laurel wreaths, and step into a world where heroes are born, gods walk among men, and the power of myth and legend is at your fingertips. The call of adventure beckons, and Akropolis Now is waiting for you to answer it. Will you seize your destiny and become a legend in your own right? The time has come to embark on the journey of a lifetime.

The Quick Preview has the information for me to decide if I want to buy this but it is so small I can't read it. Your description gives the flavor but nothing of the mechanics, what is included, etc.

So does this use its own system? Is it a reference book for other systems to use? I am confused as to this book's end game. While glancing through the two page preview I saw what looked like a 5th ed. skill reference. Thank you in advance for your response.

The game does use it's own system, although those familiar with a "roll and add modifier" game system will find it quite simple to pick up. This book encompasses the core rules for Akropolis Now plus a campaign outline over ten adventures at the end of the book. Thank you for taking out the time to leave a comment.

The full size preview is only two pages and does not (at the moment) revel enough to make a judgement to purchase.

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.
