History Main / TheEpic

* ''HarryPotter''

[[AC: Mythology]]

* {{Gurps}} has a number of potential epics for TheGamemaster to work with in it's various {{Sourcebooks}} some of which are quite well done. Several are suggested in the sample campaigns. In ''Vikings'' one can replay any saga or make up one's own. There is even a mythic campaign theme in which Loki escape's and threatens to bring about Ragnorak before it's time. In {{Traveller}} ''Sword Worlds'' there is ''100 Parsecs'' which is about the journey of a group of Sword Worlders to set up a new civilization in which the Sword Worlder way of life may be preserved far in the reaches of the universe. One can also do the original founding of the Sword Worlds which is an intensely powerful theme. In fact some {{Gurps}} ideas are so good that it is a tragedy that they were never taken in hand by a writer worthy of them. Hopefully one is waiting.

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''
