Hey everyone! My friends have asked me to run an RPG campaign based on ancient Greece and Greek mythology, but I’m not sure which system to choose. This will be my first time as a Game Master, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice on what might work best for this theme.

If you want to go classic, consider Dungeons & Dragons! There’s a great 5e campaign book called Mythic Odysseys of Theros. It dives deep into Greek myths with unique mechanics that could really enhance your game. It’s pretty underrated and might be just what you need!
I suggest trying Heroes of Hellas, which is a supplement for Barbarians of Lemuria. It’s simple and fun to play! Another cool option is Mazes & Minotaurs, it’s like a twist on classic RPGs with a strong Greek mythology vibe, so it’s worth a look!
You might want to check out Agon. It’s designed for epic quests and would fit perfectly with the heroic themes of ancient Greece!
I totally agree! Theros is one of my favorites because it really gets the Greek themes right—definitely check it out!
