I've never heard of Hellas until now. I'm considering putting money in, but first I want to know what the game is like. Give me a run-down? I notice it is Greeks In Space, but what of the mechanics and such?

The Hellas mechanics are based on the Omni game system, which was used for the Talislanta game system, and they are really simple and easy to work with.

You can check out the Quick-Start rules for Hellas at the main Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone website here:

In addition, here's a couple of links to my Hellas posts from back in 2008, when the game first came out:

Hope this helps you make a decision about whether to pledge some money for the new supplement of the book. :)

Btw, I'm considering running Hellas at CanGames next year. :)
