Portray gods and demigods — children of Olympian Gods, Titans, or Primordials in this diceless roleplaying game of multi-dimensional mythology Fantasy. Explore new realms or the classic worlds of Earth and Mythological Greece. Visit Zeus’ Olympus, Poseidon’s Seas, or Hades’ Underworld. Mix politics with intrigue, alliances with wars as power-struggles and vengeance drive stories. Or, go the route of lesser power with mortals and heroes.

Choose your divine parentage, abilities, powers, and other aspects to begin your journey among the Olympian gods. Encounter mythological creatures like cyclops or harpies, cross paths with mighty deities like Ares or Hermes, and quest for magical artefacts like weapons or armor of the gods.

The diceless rules are as simple as comparing ability classes. Elements like fate, past experience, and environmental factors can affect ability classes, however, so it is still possible for someone outclassed by his opponent to triumph with enough planning.
