Age of Olympus

Post by SpaceMonkey »

Is Age of Olympus still in production, or has it been abandoned? :(

I'm not sure if AGE OF OLYMPUS would be considered abandoned; but it is probably on a bit of a hold. BASHMAN has a lot of material in the works, chief among them is the AWESOME POWERS series. Also, his HONOR & INTRIGUE line continues to rank high on the BASIC ACTION GAMES product rating over at RPGNow so he needs to keep the fires hot on that line as well.

There are so many BASH products I'm looking forward to but I have to admit that AGE OF OLYMPUS is right near the top of them. I absolutely love the name he selected for it. As a setting, ancient Greece would be a fantastic place to run an ancient supers game!

Regular heroes like Odysseus and Achilles would be great examples of Mystery Men characters. Hercules and Orion would make a great Street Level builds and Artemis and Ares would make cool World Class scaled characters.

I believe that BASHMAN's day job is as a history teacher (though I may be wrong), so I can really see that he would have a rich setting built around this product. I'm sure it will happen eventually.

It is not dead; just asleep. Right now top priorities are Awesome Powers, and Legends of Steel.

That said, something I've been toying with is in BASH! Fantasy: Ultimate Edition to have "Epic Fantasy" as one of the subgenres.

Epic fantasy treatment would be great to see (especially as Legends of Steel and BASH: FANTASY are like sister products and share much of the same game-rule content - and hopefully not too far apart).

Well, thanks to Mr Jupiter, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to see what Honor and Intrigue was all about. 10 minutes of research later and I bought it on DrivethruRPG! :D
