Apotheosis is a dynamic tabletop role-playing game with books available for both fantasy and sci-fi settings. The intention behind Apotheosis is to keep the gameplay feeling fresh and exciting even for veteran players of tabletop role-playing games. Apotheosis has well over 500,000 meaningfully unique character builds/classes so that every character feels unique and players can customize their experience to make the exact playstyle they want. Additionally, the character progression and combat systems within Apotheosis are designed to create a more immersive and realistic experience for players than other fantasy RPG systems.
