Agon, Swords and Sandals questing
I was listening to Confessions of a Rotten Girl while writing this, Romans were the original Fujoshis when you think about it
Genre: Swords and Sandals fantasy, Mythological Fantasy
Touchstones:Hades, Xena, Jason and the Argonauts
What is this game?: Agon is a Tabletop RPG focused around emulating roman mythology
Page break
How's the gameplay?: Agon uses the Paragon engine, meaning characters stats are assigned die instead of modifiers, characters also have "Name die", which add bonuses or banes depending on someone's epithets and names, for example if "Shadow-Wise Xentropa" is gonna sneak around, they roll not only their d8 of Craft and Reason, but also an extra D6 due to their epithet applying to the situation, characters can also call upon favors of the gods to further help, but this requires to be in good standing with the squabbling and petty deities, characters also accumulate GLORY which increases the power of their name, adding extra bonuses when Epithets apply
What's the setting (If any) like?: Agon is set in the world of ancient roman myth, but you could probably do any sword and sandals style setting you wish in the game
What's the tone?: Heroic! Characters are flawed like the heroes of old, but they're powerful, and they fight mighty beasts for glory
Session length: 4 hours or so is usually enough time
Number of Players: 4-6 players is a recommended amount
Malleability: Agon's core systems are purposely generic to be modded into other games, but the game by itself is fit mostly to Sword and Sandals campaigns
Resources: Agon has a printable character sheet but not much else
Agon is a great game with a setting often explored but not in the world of TTRPGs, check it out!
