There is any rpg based in ancient mythology?
Since kid i loved all kind of ancient mythology (griek, nordic, egyptian, aztec, etc) and i was thinking on directing a game where the players where normal people selected by those gods to accomplish certain tasks, and to do so they would have some powers. My plan was to do it a lot like urban fantasy... but i dont know what system should i use. Any advice?
Re: There is any rpg based in ancient mythology?
i seen a few systems based around that, but they're all long out of print and honestly they were a mess. since you're in the palladium forums i'm gonna say you're better off using palladium fantasy with modification/class limits and using the powers in heroes unlimited with maybe the shifter greater union rules depending on what powers you think they should have as gifts.

Not precisely what you're looking for, but I played in a game where my first PC was a "Human Mercenary Fighter", but statted up as an Elven Priest of Light. My story was that she was actually a child of Od, and her "priestly" powers were manifestation of divine blood.

Since this is fantasy and a lot of it is based on mythology you will find bits and pieces everywhere.
I think 2nd ed dnd probably had the biggest write up that I remember. (but that was one of 300+ books)

Pantheons of the Megaverse has SDC stats for IRL gods
plus obvious light/dark is based on egypt and northern gods are based on norse

Are you wanting a old fantasy setting or a modern city setting with fantasy races? I ask because I hear Urban Fantasy I think modern Urban. IF so maybe Nightbane with some tweaks?
