We have updated Blood of the Gods, Dr. Paul Mitchener’s epic Wild Talents sourcebook of heroic action in mythic ancient Greece. In Blood of the Gods the players’ heroes and heroines are descended from the gods and goddesses themselves and hold the gods and goddesses as personal patrons. As demigods the player characters derive incredible supernatural powers from both ancestor and patron. They face all the dangers and wonders of ancient myth.
The new update adds new material on roleplaying the culture of archaic Greece and a new adventure, “The Golden Fleece,” where your heroes can undertake a quest to achieve the magical golden fleece of Colchis and save beloved Athens from disaster.
