PK Games Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 ww.hellasrpg.com just wondering cause I just got the PDF, no real time to read through it but it looks like a cool idea and would be good for a BRP setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbowser Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 My first thought when I read about the game was, "That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard." Then, as I thought about it more, "There might be some potential..." As time went on, I mentally warmed to the idea more and more. I realized my initial disgust was because, based on the name, I thought it would be a historic/mythology game. A Mythic Greece: Roleplaying in the time of Pericles, if you will. I'd been thinking that a BRP treatment of the Illiad and the Odyssey would be awesome. I downloaded the pdf this morning. I haven't read it yet, but my wife is now intrigued by the setting as well, so I'll end up playing it. It's being run at a local con here in November, I may try and get in a game then.

PK Games Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 What con is that? I think its interesting because after seeing Mazes and Minotaurs I was contemplating doing a pseudo Planetary Romance style space-setting based on greek/roman mythos. And bam, here it is already done for me. Just getting to that phase in my gaming career where I want everything to use similar systems. For ease of transition from one game to another. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbowser Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It's called MACE. I don't think the guy running the game has any affiliation with the publishers, but browsing the game schedule is where I learned of Hellas. I'm starting to learn toward the single system theory as well. It makes life so much easier on the GM and players alike. Once I get a chance to read the book, I'll let you know.
