Step into legend. Forge your own myth.
 

AEGIS transports you to ancient Greece as the gods themselves imagined it, not merely the historical Bronze Age, but a living cosmos where divine blood flows through mortal veins, where hydras regenerate in dark swamps, and where a hero's courage can literally shake the foundations of Mount Olympus.


Become the Hero Greece Needs
 

Create legendary heroes using the innovative Cosmic Wheel system, where your character's elemental nature determines not just their abilities, but their very place in the cosmic order. Will you be a fire-born Champion whose rage can turn the tide of battle? A water-touched Oracle whose dreams reveal the threads of fate? An earth-rooted Builder whose monuments will stand for millennia? Your choices echo across three scales of time, from heartbeat to heartbeat in deadly combat, day by day through epic adventures, and season by season as your deeds reshape the world.
 

Live Among Gods and Monsters
 

Navigate the treacherous politics of Olympus, where Zeus's favor might elevate you to legendary status or his wrath could doom your bloodline for generations. Face the nine-headed Hydra in its poisonous lair, outwit the riddling Sphinx at the crossroads of fate, escape the Minotaur's labyrinth, or resist the deadly song of Sirens who know your deepest desires. Forge weapons in a Cyclops's workshop or earn the blessing of centaur-teachers. Every monster serves a cosmic purpose, every god has an agenda, and every choice you make reverberates through the mythic landscape.
 

Deeply Rooted, Infinitely Adaptable
 

Drawing authentically from Homer's epics, the tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles, and the rich tapestry of Greek religious practice, AEGIS captures the genuine spirit of ancient mythology while providing complete creative freedom. Whether you want to explore the canonical tales of Perseus and Theseus, create entirely new myths that feel authentically Greek, or adapt the system to Egyptian, Norse, or your own invented pantheons, the Cosmic Wheel framework supports any mythological vision you wish to bring to life.
 

Build Your Legacy
 

Earn Kleos (immortal glory) through deeds worthy of song, but beware the seductive pull of Hubris that could bring divine punishment. Channel Pathos (emotional depth) into artistic creation and spiritual insight, while drawing upon Ambrosia (divine essence) to perform feats beyond mortal ken. Your reputation attracts followers, your wisdom builds institutions, and your choices determine whether your name will be sung by bards or whispered as a cautionary tale.
 

Adventures That Matter
 

AEGIS doesn't just offer dungeon crawls; it presents mythic challenges that test character as much as competence. Mediate between feuding city-states. Solve the riddle of why the sun has failed to rise. Navigate the labyrinthine politics of divine succession. Forge a weapon capable of wounding fate itself. Your heroes don't just fight monsters; they become the stories that will be told for generations.


Complete Mythic Toolkit
 

This comprehensive guide includes everything needed to run epic campaigns across any mythological tradition. Detailed rules cover combat, social interaction, divine politics, monster creation, artifact crafting, and the gradual transformation from mortal hero to legend, or tragic downfall. Whether recreating the Argonauts' voyage or crafting entirely new pantheons, AEGIS provides the framework for authentic mythic storytelling.
 

The threads of fate await your hand. What myth will you weave?
