Well, Hellas is actually a brand new game, having only debuted at GenCon this past August, but has a good reputation out there in the gaming market already. The quality of the game in terms of production and printing and everything is simply brilliant, as you say, but the game universe and the principles behind the game are what make it so special.

From what I've seen of it, Agon (always get that confused at times with the Agone rpg based on the books of Mathieu Gaborit!) is more about the historical and mythic Greek side of things, whereas Hellas is definitely science fiction with the trappings of Greek myth and legend in a game that is very much Heroic. Different feels, and different appeals. I still recommend that you buy a copy of Hellas when you get a chance; you won't regret it.

Yes, dear, yes, I do. :)

And it really is a *superb* rpg. :)

I'll have to think about posting them all up to the Hellas forums, as to be honest, it will require a lot of typing in of the characters and all, and there's also the fact that the backgrounds for the characters would have to be written up in a...cohesive...manner.

Still, you can find the Kyklopes Trader posted here on my blog in another journal entry, so I may post him up to the Hellas forums, too. He's done up here on my LJ to show the process of character creation, rather than a completely final history of the character. But that's good, too. :)

Thanks for the comments on this. Much appreciated. :)
