[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8282111, member: 6879661"] I’ve started Odyssey. It is excellent, far more engaging than Theros. I have both products. A couple of things that I found particularly good. - The heroes have epic backgrounds that propel them through the story. The backgrounds are tied to the main quest but vary a great deal. - The Pantheon is both integral and visible. You are interacting with the gods as NPCs substantially... and I mean substantially. - The world is d&d based but it’s still very Greek in style. - There are damned cool locations, both early on and throughout the campaign. The maps are colour VTT quality too. - The Island exploration that makes up the middle third is very sand boxy. If you like assassins creed Odyssey then you’ll get the picture. The islands are really small adventures. Homer would be proud. - The Greek subclasses are great. One for every class and really well done. - There is a substantial Greek bestiary that is done well and covers a lot of ground. - levels 1-17 with an option to take it to 20. It’s a pleasure to reads. The last 3 levels is kinda like a sequel. Not quite as good. Probably for a Kickstarter stretch goal but not bad. I think the book is well worth getting. Even if you didn’t run it, it’s a lot of fun to read, has a lot of well written 5e supplementary material and good content. I’d go so far as to say it’s the best 3pp product I’ve bought bar none. Better quality even than Tales of the Old Margrave. [/QUOTE]
