Epigoni - Mythpop RPG Quickstart
A downloadable project
Epigoni pits you as the unworthy scions of Deities, Legends and Incarnations of ideas: common people, hanging in the balance between day-to-day life and a new dimension filled with dark plots and feuding Myth Entities.
Unlike the Entities that gave birth to them, forever bound to their role in the story, these Epigoni are dangerous anomalies in the World of Myth: they’re free from the constraints of a pre-written plot.
For this reason, they can’t help but draw the watchful, inhuman eye of Fate. Its goal isn’t simply to put Epigoni through adventure after bizarre adventure: it’s to push them into becoming the Stereotype it has chosen for them, turning them into merciless, mundane, easily forgettable beings: the Vacui.

Imagine 'Terry Pratchett's Narritivium, the RPG' ... designed by Neil Gaiman.
Ethan Skemp (Changeling: The Lost) and Jenna Moran (Nobilis) make sweet love in her personal chancel. Nine months later, their child, Epigoni, is born in the City of Mist.
Amidst the physical projections of the idealized versions of actual places in imaginary places born out of fables, myths and fictions, the 'half-story' offspring of mortals and beings made of pure narration, born of the stories humans have been telling each other for millennia, try to forge their own paths whilst Myth Entities and the mindless force of Fate try to railroad them into wondrous, catastrophic adventures.
A very appealing prospect indeed - can't wait for the full version!
Thank you for the kind words, the game is already out in italian and english after a Kickstarter campaign, and the printed english version should be coming shortly. However I’d like to send you a PDF copy of the Corebook and of Visions (Our second volume) as thanks for your compliments, if you’re fine with giving me your Email. And I’d much appreciate if you’d be willing to pass the good word around…
Wow!
As it happens, I'm compiling a ... really, ludicrously long (it's taken me six months so far and it's still not complete, but it will be very soon now) ... list of the most interesting games/settings/supplements/adventures/etc. that I've either owned, played or stumbled upon in forty-five years of gaming and I've placed Epigoni in three categories: Esoteric (along with games like Nobilis and Glitch), Fantasy: Modern & Urban, and Supernatural: Gods, Demigods & Heroes - so, I'm going to be alerting people to it in the near future anyway, but getting a look at the whole thing would be fantastic (thankyou very much!)
You can get me at coastal_joining103@simplelogin.com
I'm still gonna be getting the printed version in English though - it's one of those ones where, like Deliria, you want the print version for the whole experience (the Art in Epigoni is amazing ; )
