Zeus and the Olympic gods are meddling in the mortal world for the first time in 800 years. The players are champions granted special powers by their patron god to defeat the agents of the Titans. But life is never simple when Olympian gods are involved.

There are deadly rivalries and feuds between the Olympic gods which date back to the dawn of time. Foreign gods are threatening the borders of Greece and radical philosophers are claiming that humanity does not need gods. Legendary monsters stalk the wild lands and the border between the mortal world and the Underworld is not as impassible as Hades claims.

A champion cannot expect a long life but they can live forever in legend. Through quick thinking, trickery, raw strength and force of personality a champion can make their name known across Greece. The gods choose their champions but champions make the legends.

Age of Legends is a complete setting for the fast, flexible and easy-to-learn 6d6 RPG. If we hit our funding goal the book will be 128 pages laid out in 6d6's clean and distinctive style. Stretch goals will add additional content including extra gods, character paths and monsters.

Our stretch goals will grow the book to more than 200 pages. All supporters benefit from the stretch goals and will receive the expanded PDF and hard copies.

Details of how to play the 6d6 RPG and all the rules are included in the 6d6 RPG Core book. The Age of Legends setting book contains everything needed to create characters and play epic adventures in the Hellenic world.

Patron Gods - Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hecate, Athena, Dionysus, Apollo and Demeter (20 pages)

Titan Opponents - Cronus, Rhea, Hyperion, Iapetus, Mnemosyne, Phoebe (8 pages)

Playing Age of Legends - character archetypes, oaths, omens, magic, Game Leader advice and adventure hooks (39 pages)

Full monster sheets for legendary beasts including the hydra, minotaur, cyclopes and gorgon plus over twenty different types of mooks.

Ancient World, Modern Values

Age of Legends is a re-imagining of Ancient Greece. Gender roles have been modernised and the myths updated to reflect the attitudes of a modern, more equal society. The champions are chosen by the gods from every part of society and, regardless of their background, are equal.

In Age of Legends a player is free to be the hero they want to be, whoever that is, in a society which accepts their choices.

The 6d6 RPG is fast, flexible and simple, letting the players focus on roleplay but don't take our word for it. You can look up the rules for free at our 6d6 Online wiki or checkout the reviews:

"6d6 RPG is an excellent universal role-playing game. It offers a flexible mechanic with tactical depth but is still easy to learn. ... It delivers on its promise of being fast and fun." - Sophia Brandt, Die Heart

"surprisingly intuitive" - Andrew Gridwood, Geek Native

"a real gem of a game system" - Brian I, DriveThruRPG

"... very interesting, easy, roleplay-based system, based more on roleplay and group consensus than strict rules structure. The goal is to tell a good story and have fun!" - Dwayne Walstrom, Red Storm Gaming

The first edition of the 6d6 RPG appeared in 2011 generating a lot of interest on the RPG convention scene. The second edition of the 6d6 RPG was funded by a 320% successful Kickstarter in 2013 along with six adventures, the 100 Monster Bestiary and the 6d6 Modern setting.

The Authors

James and Mark Foster are brothers with a passion for gaming, writing and history. They both have PhDs and their work involves exciting things like radiation and nuclear fusion. Age of Legends is their first book and it has taken four years to develop. James lives in Hong Kong, passing his time writing adventures about giant chickens and cuddly toys while Mark is on the south coast of the UK. He spends his time LARPing and ringing bells.

The Artist

The original artwork for the book and the video for this Kickstarter is by the talented Jack Door. He spends his time creating art in a secret base beneath a volcano and lying a lot.

The Publishers
