GAME mechanics

  • Storytelling: In Theros, narration is a central mechanic where the Game Master (GM) guides the narrative and describes the world, the events and the consequences of the players' actions. Players interact with the world through their characters, making decisions that affect the progression of the story. The setting in Theros, inspired by Greek mythology, adds an epic and mythological tone to the narrative, encouraging heroes to perform great feats and challenge gods.
  • Paper and pen: Although the modern version uses digital resources, paper and pen are still essential for recording important information, such as character sheets, adventure notes, maps and states of health or condition. In Theros, notes can include details about the Pantheon of the Gods of Theros or legendary items such as Nyx-imbued weapons.
  • Data Scrolling: Polyhedral dice are used to determine the results of actions and events. The 20-sided die (d20) is the most common, used for skill tests, attacks and saves. In Theros, divine powers and interventions can modify or influence the results of these rolls, reflecting the presence of the gods in the world. Spells and player abilities can also allow re-rolls or special modifiers, adding strategy to the rolls.
  • RPG (Role-Playing Game): This is the core of the gaming experience, where players take on the role of mythological heroes, embark on epic quests, face monsters and interact with gods. In Theros, the focus on role-playing is accentuated by the choice of Divine Patterns, ties that characters can have with gods, influencing their powers and alignments. Role-playing is crucial to developing personal narratives and collaborating with other players in a shared narrative.
