I've been wanting to get an offset press edition of Mythic GME 2e made for a while, and it's finally done! The printed books are making their ways to their final destinations, including the Modiphius US store.

They're currently offering pre-sales of the book, which should be available in late January.

The offset press edition is the same content, but in a sturdier hardcover binding with high quality paper and rich color printing. Useful tables are printed on the inside covers, front and back, for easy reference. And it has one of those snazzy cloth bookmark ribbon things attached :)

You can find it on the Modiphius website here: https://modiphius.us/products/mythic-game-master-emulator-second-edition

Happy adventuring!

This is a pre-order. Shipping is expected to begin end of January 2025. If your order includes pre-order items, it will delay your shipping until the items are in stock. You will receive the complimentary PDF immediately upon purchase. Play any role-playing game solo or without a Game Master! Mythic...

So I finally did a Deal of the Day at DriveThruRPG, and it's today for Mythic Magazine Compilation #3! I like seeing it up there on the site :) It's 60% off, which is the steepest discount I've done for a Compilation but that seems totally fitting for a one day sale.

Greetings everyone :) Mythic Magazine #48 is now out on DriveThruRPG. This issue has a first of its kind in it: a complete, mini-RPG. I've been working on Mythic RPG 2e and Micro Mythic, so it's had me thinking about Mythic concepts being used for RPG mechanics beyond the GM emulator. This put me in a mind to test some of this with the magazine.

Steal The Rebellion! is a heist sci-fi game using very simple mechanics that derive a lot from Micro Mythic.

The other article is at the opposite end of the spectrum, "Cozy Solo", talking about making solo experiences that are relaxing and peaceful. We could all use more of that.

Excellent solo actual play from Tabletop Bro! What I love most about this is he has never played solo before, but he just dives right in. It's neat to see someone do this for the first time, and he did great!

Here's a good Reddit post about using Mythic to solo play Blood Bowl, or any tactical tabletop game: https://reddit.com/r/mythic_gme/comments/1gdhhcs/report_blood_bowl_with_parts_of_mythic/
Wargamers were early users of Mythic, which surprised me at the time. This post is a good example of how to combine the two simply.

Great blog post by Joshua Suskalo about game preparation lessons learned from solo play that are applicable to any GM, bottom-up tabletop prep: https://srasu.org/posts/bottom-up-tabletop-prep/

I’ve been GMing for years in various systems, and I’ve been subject to burnout, I’ve lost campaigns as session after session gets canceled until the whole thing just collapses in on itself, I’ve given up on GMing for years at a time, and I’ve come back to it again, only to run against the ...

Let's crowd source some creativity ... what is the strangest solo concept you've tried yet? I'm talking a unique, unusual take on a solo adventure, like switching characters every scene, or roleplaying you're an atomic particle. Something that is probably only possible with solo roleplay.

I really enjoyed doing this interview with The Solo Roleplayers Podcast. Thanks Phil! He really went into the nitty gritty of how Mythic came to be.
