Great! Glad you like the setting!
Yes adventure tables is great idea.
Yes I want to write more about the Celtois. I think there is a lot of potential for the Celts. They have there own Mythology and Gods and Monsters and Sagas. If I included all that in The HoH Mythic Edition it would be a new setting and would need new rules and Boons & Flaws. I have thought about having a taste of the Celts in HoH. and then doing a whole new setting (book) that is Celtic.

Hi Everyone,

I have been out of the community for awhile. Made a long distance move with my family. Fortunately we are in a much better place now. We are able to play much more BOL!

I am planning on updating Heroes of Hellas for the Barbarians Mythic Edition. I am very excited about it.
I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the project. Please let me know what you would like to see in the next edition.

Hi!
Yeah, with time, that's what I'm thinking now, it would have been way easier (and faster) this way.
And well, our game is a can of awesome because we're a bunch of old friends seeing each others every now and then to play RPGs, so when we do, we do it to the max haha. Like, next time (I won't be the GM), we're going to go look for the Swamp Hydra, because apparently it is the venom of those creatures that, if treated, can cure the plague. Inside the ship was one of those, chained and asleep. SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

Sounds Awesome! Please do some game reports!

It is true that the people make the game. We get all pedantic about rules and stuff. It all really doesn't matter as much as gaming with cool friends. Rules can't stop people from wrecking a game.

That is a good question.
In my game:
the first scenario- I would have handled it with normal combat rules.BOL can handle up to 50 rabbles with no problem. IMHO Usually after a few rounds the players will roll a Legendary success and whittle down the rabbles quickly. Sometime the players roll crap and get in trouble. That's what Hero Points are for. . . . If it is a 'non plot point' combat and I don't want the characters to get beat down; I will just have the rabble lose heart and retreat. Keep in mind they are not Heroes and dying in battle is beyond most rabbles pay grade.This usually makes the players nervous and they start speculating whay the rabble took off. Good game play to keep the players guessing.It also shortens the combat if the players are getting boared.

The second scenario- I would handle it with the combat system.The two major factors that i would use to indicate a battle is the amount of enemies and the fact that the PCs are fighting alongside NPC soldiers/ followers. My main thought in designing the combat system was to make the PCs/ Players success and failure affect their followers. This makes them buy in and take it personal when the Friendly NPC soldiers die. I have had players name the dead soldiers and yell for vengeance.(fun stuff) I also wanted to abridge the large combat and make it feel very individual, following the theme of Sword & Sorcery. The NPCs engage individual enemies and then are told in decsription what is happening in the rest of the battle.

Your game sounds fun . . . .

Humans cant let the gods remove the swords. The swords are lodged in a colossal dragon (or some other monster) that is kept paralyzed. If the swords are removed the dragon will unleash destruction on all of mankind.

Any kinda props really spice up a Con game. Having a miniature or a standup mini for each PC is good. Maybe have some sort of bobbles or tokens for the hero points. Gotta have a map on the table. A Gm screen (if you use one) with evocative art. BOL is hard to explain to people; so any art will help.
You know when you say that there are no horses but you can ride a dinosaur it usually confuses players.
