{"product_id":"heroes-of-olympus","title":"Heroes of Olympus","description":"\u003cp\u003eA game set in Ancient Greece, complete with all the gods and fantastic monsters.  Playable as an RPG, a wargame, and\/or a boardgame.  It includes background on gods, limited magic (from gods or magic places), sample races, and pre-generated characters from the Argonauts (the game is clearly aimed at reproducing the feel of the movie Jason and the Argonauts).  It uses a skill-based system, with point-bought character creation.  There are three combat systems: Noble (i.e. dueling), Melee, and Naval.  They are fairly complex, although Melee is fairly fast.\n\n(Entry extracted in part from the RPG Encyclopedia, http:\/\/www.darkshire.org\/~jhkim\/rpg\/encyclopedia\/)\n\nThere was a second edition in 1983. This was identical to the first edition with the exception of these changes: the box was deeper and had different cover art, a blank character sheet was included, a Different Worlds article reprint (\"Thieves of Sparta,\" on integrating the game with Thieves' World) was included, and a pack of miniatures (a ship and three figures) was included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.00 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e B.
