Fantastic setting for a game that I have unfortunately not yet talked my group into playing. Perfect art. Great background, monsters, gods, titans, and character paths. The 6d6 system, which this setting is made for, is lightweight but substantial.

This supplement makes a very good impression. It creates a compelling re-imagined Ancient Greece setting, is complete and full of new options for players and Game Masters of the 6d6 RPG. Everyone interested in pseudo-historic ancient gaming worlds should take a look at Age of Legends, even if he doesn’t use the 6d6 RPG. The world material is a fantastic read and the abstract nature of the mechanics may even make the system-specific information feasible for other games. More at http://dieheart.net/age-of-legends/

Great book and setting. It's filled with a mix of historical material for the period and setting along with the mythic (Olympian gods, Titans, creatures). The magic is setting-appropriate, so you won't find magic missiles and fireballs, but you will find material on ancient Greek curses, wards and herbology. The artwork is all in the style of ancient Greek. There's 6d6 material on new period-appropriate Archetypes and Paths, along with a number of new Antogonists pulled from myth (and Agent and Monster Paths).

I've run it some, and it's had a great feel in play. The mix of mundane with the epic - especially for newly invested PC Agents - was a lot of fun.

In disclosure, I did back the Kickstarter that produced AoL, and would happily do so again. 6d6 is a great ruleset, and Age of Legends is a great add to the collection.

This book is a fantastic resource, split evenly between rich lore and background information and detailed game content. The first half of the book is dedicated to lore, pulling from Greek mythology with a focus on depth over breadth. The setting is fleshed out in detail, with sections for mortals and immortals alike. The core gods and titans one would expect in this setting are represented in full, along with a number of smaller influences. The second half of the book is split again, half for player characters with a considerable number of options, including both flavor and crunch, and half for the Game Master, with more than enough options to provide detailed and varied challenges for the party.

While Greek mythology isn't something I have had a lot of experience with incorporating into my games, I look forward to encouraging my core group of players to create some crazy and interesting characters in this setting!
