Defy the Gods Quick Start
A downloadable game
Defy the Gods is a queer sword & sorcery game about daring adventurers struggling against titanic forces who want to destroy them.
Inspired by Conan, Clash of the Titans, and Princess Mononoke, the game pits you against jealous gods, ambitious tyrants, wild creatures, and the lingering shadow of lost Atlantis.
Play as a fierce warrior, scholarly sorcerer, flirtatious trickster, wild child, or fugitive shade as you explore this ancient, Mediterranean-like world and your emotional entanglements with each other.
Burn brightly and hold fast to each other's hearts as you spiral upward toward your most glorious, monstrous self.
This is a free beta version of a game still in development. It includes the quick-start rules and printable play sheets. Please download it, play it, and send me your feedback!

Played this at BigBadCon a couple of days ago, it was great fun. The setting is quite imaginative and the Epithet system adds it's own flavor. I played the Sorcerer which had a mechanic I've not seen before where you cast a spell by rolling dice and looking for patterns, if you don't get any matches then Chaos reigns. Which is glorious.
Thank you, Faye! It was wonderful to have you at the table.
I am playtesting this and it is glorious!! The world we built and the mechanics mesh so well and I’m so excited everytime I get to play in the chaos we have created!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it.
This was the most exciting game I playtested at METATOPIA. Really looking forward to seeing how it's progressed since then.
Thanks, Michael! I’m eager to hear what you think.
