Heroes of Legend
Far back in the mists of antiquity, a poet sings of great deeds wrought by mighty heroes—of monsters slain and justice restored, of wise council and devious strategies, of courage, valor, and daring—defiant of the gods themselves. In Agon, you create and play these heroes, crafting their epic tale into an immortal legend.

On their way back home from the war, the heroes have become lost among strange islands populated by mythical creatures, dire beasts, treacherous landscapes, legendary kingdoms, and desperate people—all somehow cursed or abandoned by the cruel power of the capricious gods.

It falls to you to seize this opportunity for greatness—to set things right in these lost lands, overcome the trials of gods, monsters, and people, prove the glory of your name, and win your way back home.

Agon is a game of fast-paced heroic adventure inspired by ancient legends. The Hero Players create heroes who wander from island to island, engaging in contests, resolving strife, appeasing the gods, and seeking their way home. The Strife Player presents each island—its strife, opponents, and other characters—by revealing the situation, asking leading questions, and judging contests.

Each session contains an adventure on a dangerous island. Every island suffers from strife which the heroes fight to overcome with their strength, courage, and wits. The gods watch and judge, granting favor or wrath, depending on how the heroes resolve the situation.

Each island takes approximately two to four hours to play through, depending on the size of the group and your desire to wax poetic or dive right into the action. When the heroes leave and continue their voyage, the gods light their way among the stars of the Vault of Heaven, leading them to the next island and closer to returning home.

This game is set in an ancient fantasy world of myths and legends. Here you'll find titanic monsters, vengeful spirits from the underworld, ruthless marauders, conniving kings, vicious gods—and all the other elements of fables and epic poems of old. This setting is yours to play with as you wish. There is no call for historical or literary accuracy—it's strongly discouraged, in fact. Let yourself be inspired by those enchanting stories, but make your mythic world your own.

The racism, sexism, ableism, and other bigotries of the past can be confronted head on or set aside as you see fit. A game of Agon is first and foremost an excuse for you and your friends to hang out together and have fun telling a rousing story—be mindful and include the elements that everyone wants to explore; discard the rest.

The first edition of Agon (which we're now affectionately calling Agon 2006) was written by John Harper. It was a game of battle and competition, which pitted the antagonist against the band of heroes, and in turn the heroes against each other to win the greatest glory.

This new edition of Agon written by John Harper and Sean Nittner embraces the friendly competition of Agon 2006 while also rewarding heroes for the strength and compassion required to support one another, form bonds, and extol the virtues of their companions.

In this book, you'll find:
* Rules for creating your heroes of myth and legend, building the glory of their name, and forging their eternal legend.
* Divine favor, bonds, and pathos for each hero to call upon to reach further than a mortal could.
* Islands full of gods, monsters, and people to challenge your heroes.
* Guidance for the Strife Player, who presents the challenges on the island.
* The Vault of Heaven to record your progress towards returning home and the ire of the gods.
* Contests and Battles that reveal the heroes greatness and glory as well as what they care most about.

The Trials of Glory Await!
