If you choose to use magic weapons, material counts. You might include the potential for weapons breaking on a natural roll of 1, if you think they would enjoy the extra tension.
Weapons would also be more prone to breakage - bronze is less durable than iron. Heavy polearms, greatswords, and longbows were all later inventions. Axes would be limited to one-handed weapons, not greataxes. Weapons would be limited as well - spears would be the most common military weapon, with short swords, daggers, and short bows alongside. Plate and chain mail armors wouldn't be invented for centures, so PCs should probably be limited to light & medium armors, with no chain shirt or half plate. You can have on-the-way quests with Bronze Age flavor until you get to the Garden of Hesperides.Īlso, remember to limit the equipment options. There are around 80 warriors associated with the myth, so there's plenty of room. The best setting to go D&D style in that universe is probably Jason and the Argonauts.

I haven't seen anything campaign wise, but the greatest hits of Greek myth are in the Monster Manual - Medusa, Chimera, Titans (Empyrean, skip the built in fluff, or just use a Stone Giant), animated skeletons, etc. What exactly are the elements you consider the most "Greek"? I might be able to help you some more if you give me a guideline what kind of story you're aiming for. What's even better is that there is also Hades among the planes - it is in the Grey Waste, and is a vast kingdom ruled by the God Hades and is the home to quite a few ordinary dead folk the Greek Gods didn't find fun enough to take to their own playground. I've had people rescue one of Zeuses paramours from Hera, fight the Hydra on the seas, avoid the Sirens (And then seduce and recruit one!?!), go into a punch out brawl with Hercules (and win!), try to fight Perseus (and get their butts handed in). What I love about Arborea is that it's ideal to represent all the facets of Epic seafaring, God meddling and monster hunting. A recurring element is the seedy seaside inn called "Zeuses Bastards" where you can usually find rowdy heroes and demigods brawling, wrestling, drinking, wenching and generally causing mayhem. I've used the plane and its Greek environs a number of times for my Planescape campaigns. It's one of the Planes which has a quite notable population of petitioners loyal to the Greacoroman Gods, all kinds of critters from mythologies and is the actual homeplane of Mount Olympus and the home to the Gods.
