What is it about?
AGON applies Paragon to heroes inspired by Greek myth, travelling between islands and seeking glory. The engine also adapts to other genres: CHAMBER presents science-fiction investigation and Storm Furies follows starfighter pilots. Playsets change premises and game elements; they do not make every variant one interchangeable ruleset.

At the table
Players face trials, describe heroic deeds, and assemble dice according to what is at stake. The conflict framework and the selected game or playset determine the outcomes.

Publishing modules
Free publication confirmed
Evil Hat's public policy permits publication of original playsets that supplement AGON and refer to the core book. Free publication is confirmed; before selling a playset, confirm the applicable commercial conditions with the rights holder.
Conditions
The playset must rely on the AGON book and may refer to its pages without reproducing its content. The non-commercial route is confirmed; sales conditions and logo use require applicable authorisation. This does not amount to a general ban on selling playsets.
