Epigoni: Essential

Epigoni: Essential is the condensed version of the award-nominated Mythpop RPG published by Nessundove. Essential has everything you need to play, from a deceptively simple character creation system to dozens of ready-to-go adventures and hooks.

What is Epigoni?

Epigoni pits you as the unworthy scions of Deities, Legends, and Incarnations of ideas: ordinary people, hanging in the balance between day-to-day life and a new dimension filled with dark plots and feuding Myth Entities.

Unlike the Entities that gave birth to them, forever bound to their role in the story, these Epigoni are dangerous anomalies in the World of Myth: they’re free from the constraints of a pre-written plot.

For this reason, they can’t help but draw the watchful, inhuman eye of Fate. Its goal isn’t simply to put Epigoni through adventure after bizarre adventure; it’s to push them into becoming the Stereotype it has chosen for them, turning them into merciless, mundane, easily forgettable beings: the Vacui.

What’s inside?

1. The Rerum Natura: all you need to know about the World beyond the Veil and its weird, dangerous inhabitants.
2. Ex Machina: The rules behind the World of Myth for both GMs and players.
3. Gods of London: A fascinating and perilous setting in the Big Smoke.
4. Mythical Nights: A melancholic Mythical Italy where Old and New fight for the heart of the citizens.
