Late to the party, but a mythology-themed series of books I really enjoy is the #Scion #ttrpg line.

This setting takes place in a variant of the modern world - but the faiths of old have never gone away completely. And while the Gods have some excellent reasons to be discreet when acting in the world, the activities of the supernatural are still common enough if you know where to find them.

The default assumption is that the player characters are young descendants of the gods - the titular Scions - who gradually become aware of their heritage, and then try to fulfill their destiny.

I am currently running a Scion campaign that is heavily inspired by German folklore, and it's a lot of fun!

The cover page of "Scion Book One: Origin", showing a red-haired woman in front of bookshelves. She holds a pair of glasses in her right hand, and a book with a red cover in her left. Swirls of smoke rise up from the book.
The cover of "Scion Book Two: Hero". A muscular, red-headed man stands in front of high-rise buildings. He carries an oversized revolver in his right hand, and two ravens fly around him. Lightning is visible in the sky.
The cover image of "Scion Book Three: Demogod". A Black Woman wearing a purple jacket his holding a top hat with a skull symbol in her right hand, and a wand with a skull with red eyes in her left hand. In the background, spirits of the dead fly around pillars.
The planned cover of "Scion Book Four: God". A man in the tress of an Aztec jaguar warrior is wielding an obsidian-tipped mace in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. His chest has been carved open, and his heart is surrounded by flames. A red skull is floating next to him. An Aztec pyramid is visible in the background.

@TarkabarkaHolgy @juergen_hubert I’ve never had the opportunity to play this, but it looks fun. I miss roleplaying.
