Agon
Heroes of Legend
Far back in the mists of antiquity, a poet sings of great deeds wrought by mighty heroes—of monsters slain and justice restored, of wise council and devious strategies, of courage, valor, and daring—defiant of the gods themselves. In Agon, you create and play these heroes, crafting their epic tale into an immortal legend.
On their way back home from the war, the heroes have become lost among strange islands populated by mythical creatures, dire beasts, treacherous landscapes, legendary kingdoms, and desperate people—all somehow cursed or abandoned by the cruel power of the capricious gods.
It falls to you to seize this opportunity for greatness—to set things right in these lost lands, overcome the trials of gods, monsters, and people, prove the glory of your name, and win your way back home.
In this book, you’ll find:
- Rules for creating your heroes of myth and legend, building the glory of their name, and forging their eternal legend.
- Divine favor, bonds, and pathos for each hero to call upon to reach further than a mortal could.
- Islands full of gods, monsters, and people to challenge your heroes.
- Guidance for the Strife Player, who presents the challenges on the island.
- The Vault of Heaven to record your progress towards returning home and the ire of the gods.
- Contests and Battles that reveal the heroes greatness and glory as well as what they care most about.
The Trials of Glory Await!

Hello there!
Is it possible to get a Hardcover copy (and all stuff) outside of USA?
That is extensively answered in the shipping section on the Kickstarter that’s running right now. Please have a look!
Will Sean be including rules for running a parallel game with Gods in a different room watching the heroes play over a live video feed while feasting on Kalamata olives and Baklava?
Stretch Goal!!!
Hi there! Any store in Spain has pledged? Any store in Europe? I bought the original 2006 PDF version and I WANT the hardcover!
I missed the KS, will there be late pledges?
A few months down the line we’ll launch a backerkit to take preorders for the book. (The stretch goals will be made available for sale once available.)
Hello
I live in the U.K. and would like a hard back copy of Agon, are there any retailers in the U.K. , Europe, or the U.S. who can ship a copy to me when it’s released?
Regards
Neil
Once the book is printed and fulfillment starts back up we’ll be sure to get copies to our UK distribution channels. If you have a local store you like to patron, here’s a list of who we distribute through: https://www.evilhat.com/home/for-retailers/. If you’d like to order online https://leisuregames.com/ will very likely have copies.
Same here for Spain!
Hi! I wanted to pick up a copy of the PDF. The current link sends me to Backerkit, but the order details form seems only has addresses within the US. Is there another channel for the PDF? I’ve checked Drivethrurpg.
Hi Greg, sure thing. You can find it on John’s Itch page: https://johnharper.itch.io/agon
Just got my hardcover in from the kickstarter. Love the printing/art/construction/size. Evil Hat has done it again. Anxious to run a one-shot with my normal group to give it a try. Thank you!
Hello everyone,
I am not sure this is the right place for this, but I bought the game (pdf version) and I’ve been playing it with a friend in a GM-less version (or strifeplayer-less version if you prefere) and it is simply awesome. I personally love the art and style of the book and the system itself is awesome to play this genre.
I just want to express all my gratitude to John Harper and Sean Nittner for bringing on the market this fantastic game. I’m also a big fun of Fate (core, fae, condensed, it doesn’t matter as long as it is Fate) and Blades in the Dark, another brillant game this two great people brought to us, so this is just another great success to add on your list.
And this is it. Thanks a lot for this and everything else and keep going this way.
Kind regards
Edoardo
I went to the backerkit and entered my email to no avail. I didnt back the ks. Is there a way to order? The big green buy now button makes it seem like it.
Sorry wasnt clear I want the hardback not the pdf. Is the hardback going to be POD?
You’re caught in the short window between the close of the preorder (a week ago) and the release of the book (next week). We’ll have the item up for purchase next week.
Oh awesome! Thanks so much! Im looking forward to a fantasy setting without lutes 😀
is it a fate system or something different?
On the topic of availability in Europe: as of last week, the only source I found that still had copies in stock was Rarewaves. It seemed to be sold out everywhere else.
That’s not due to a lack of supply at the publisher (we have plenty). If it’s not staying on shelves, those stores need to hear from customers interested in them ordering more!
It’s its own thing.
