I think Phil all that the others are asking is simply specifically what made the rules so horrible and confusing ?

I guess there’s nothing wrong with just stating something is crap, it just doesn’t help anybody.

So can u please tell us

The mechanics are horrible and when the guy who ran it at the convention said it was all he ran for months, even he got confused and had to constantly look up rules and most of the time he made them up.
As for insulting, when you have to resort to indiotic insults, then YOU need to grow up.

I mean, what, Phil? Did you work on Hellas? Mindlessly bashing a game while giving no details about what you didn’t like – no one’s going to take you word on this. It sounds like the game insulted your mother. Grow up.

Looks like to me you never bothered to learn to play it. Aw, well, your loss.

As much as I love Greek mythology this game is worth and reading, but the actual game mechanics are garbage. Completely unplayable in any rpg sense of the word. nicely put together with nice artwork, if you buy it just to look at, well, there are better products, but if you really want to play the game…forget it.

I’ve been gaming since 1981 and have a lot of reffing and playing time. I ran AGON and it was AGONY. I figured, “Ok, I gotta be doing soemthing wrong ’cause this game sucks.”

Well, I went to a convention where it was being run so I signed up to see what I was doing wrong. Itr turned out the thing I was doing wrong was trying to run the game. The ref didn’t understand the rules and made more goof than I did.

Word of warning, DON’T BUY THIS GAME! You want some real fun dealing with the greek Mythos, try HELLAS” Worlds of sun and Stone
