This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Lord Soth

I just finished reading LoA and I LOVED IT. Greek myth was a perfect fit for the diceless system. The powers all fit well and are interesting. The write-ups of the Realms and Worlds are filled with detail. I love that you break it down and say with Rank X it will take this long to use this power and with Rank Y, it takes this long. It's something I wish the orginal diceless game would have done.

The second half of this book goes into characters from Greek Myth. I'm pretty good at Greek Myth, it being one of my two favorites, but some of these guys I've never even heard of (mainly amongst the Titans). You obviously did your reserach. Very well done!

I'm a HUGE fan of the original game and the books that it's based on, but I can honestly say this product surpasses those in content, writing style and presentation, and ease of use. I still give art to the original though.

As soon as the physical book comes out, I'm dropping all other games I'm currently running to run this for my small group.

KUDOS!

If you're a fan of the original diceless game and not sure if you should get this - YOU SHOULD. It's pretty awesome and there's lots of stuff you can lift to use in Amber if that's your thing. Me? I can't wait to try out some Greek Myth roleplaying.

Smudged Thoughts

I've enjoyed reading the game. I haven't run it yet, but I do plan on running it next weekend. I really enjoyed the chapter on the Divine Family, but I do love Greek myths. All in all, it was a good purchase.

Wow, well that's a good start! Thank you both and welcome to theRPGsite! I really hope to hear more from you both, and please feel free to post your LoO-related stuff here!
