I was lucky enough to be a playtester for Aglaeca and see its evolution from the game it began as to the one it has become. Though the premise is the same, dark sword and sorcery in a saxon/Conan/Beowulf type fantasy world the rules have developed into a unique and interesting mechanic that takes in account your characters past experience and family trade in a way that effects the character in a lot of what they do. The amount of choices within the 5 main character or heroic 'classes' means that no two characters will ever feel the same and the history, background of the character really lends itself to immersion and really feeling a sense of attachment to your hero. Its the fine detail that makes this game shine without it becoming to crunchy, the hero's date of birth determines their star sign which in turn can affect the characters personality, the choice of god will determine whether they will aid you when called upon, the family trade effects how you character acts around others and what traits they have from experiences. Also with mechanics determining the style of fighting you favour to how others view you and treat you based on your past endeavours creates a world that you really want to succeed in and discover further.

I highly recommend grabbing this quick start, checking out the kickstarter which is currently running and finding this on facebook and getting into a game as you will not be disappointed. So do yourselves a favour and discover the world of Aglaeca.

I always grab the Indie Games and especially anything done by Gareth Graham they are always a little bit unique, and this is no exception, only 2 pages including the character sheet but already it looks interesting and has me buzzing with ideas, will be running this with my group soon I reckon. A must grab, and while your at it check out their other great games.

A great looking game. I am looking forward to playing this as I have backed the Kickstarter so I totally recommend giving this a look.

Another great map from a great artist. If you are lookig for a map for your Homebrew or fantasy campaign whatever system you use this map will work great.

This is a great looking game, and an awesome setting. I really enjoy those Post-Apocalyptic games that are done well and this one has been done well. Its also amazingly cheap for what it is and would of happily paid more for it. If you are looking for something a bit gritty and love computer games like The Division then grab this, highly recommended.
