🕑 Added 2025-04-13 00:07:11 +0000 UTCGreetings Mythicists! I hope your month is going well, and your PCs' days are brillig with slithy toves that gyre and gimble in the wabe :)
What's going on around here? Well, let me tell you :)
Big Example, Meet Art
So, I made this post a few days ago: https://www.patreon.com/posts/who-to-artisize-126081689 looking for suggestions of past examples that should have artwork made for them. I'm ridiculously excited by this idea! Already the suggestions in that thread have expanded the concept, which I am thrilled by. I plan to take one idea per month and give it to Jorge to include with the artwork he provides me for the magazine.
I'm going to refer to that thread going forward, so please feel free to drop more ideas in there if you like :)
Compilation Completions Coming Comparatively Contemporaneously
The POD for MM Comp #7 is finally almost ready to go, as is the new MM Comp #8 PDF. Whew! These both took a couple of months longer than I expected to finish. But, the print proofs of #7 have arrived and are sitting on my desk awaiting a quality check. I don't know if it's tariffs or what, but these took quite a long time to arrive from the printer. And Comp #8 is almost all stitched together, I just have another pass or two through it to make sure everything is where it should be.
It's very likely that both the #7 PODs and the #8 PDF will burst into the wild around the same time. I don't usually like to release stuff simultaneously, but these have both waited long enough. Time to set them free!
It's All About Adventure Now
The writing process for Mythic RPG 2e is into the Adventures chapter now. This is the main "how to play Mythic adventures" section with lots of rules for making the magic happen. Most of the material in this chapter will be familiar to current Mythic GME players, although the RPG has its own spin on some things. There are tweaks throughout to maximize the GME being coupled to the RPG. I hope it's a peanut butter and chocolate kind of pairing. Wine and chocolate? Beer and pizza. You know what I mean :)
Micro Mythic Rolls For Success
I'm working on the Success Check chapter of Micro Mythic. There are lots of parallels between this and Mythic RPG 2e, and stuff that's appearing in the magazine. It feels like everything is coming together into some kind of perfect Mythic storm :)
Deconstructed Download
I've added a download of a fillable PDF of the Deconstructed Adventure Sheet from issue #50 to the Resources page. A Mythicist requested the form, which I appreciate :) Feedback often drives which forms get up there for download and how fast. I'd like to put more forms online, as I know there are tons that aren't there. However, the Deconstructed Adventures article seemed to really resonate with players, so I'm not surprised I got requests. You can download it here: https://www.wordmillgames.com/resources/Deconstructed-Adventure-Sheet.pdf
I think that's it for now! Of course, there's always the next Mythic Magazine baking in the oven. We're up to issue #53! This one will be about Discovery Prompts and Mythic As A Board Game Opponent.
Happy adventuring! :)

I had to go dig the box out of the boardgame shelves, but it seems to be from around 1994. It looks like this: https://www.wordmillgames.com/roborally.jpg We also have an expansion for it. Sometimes when my spouse and I play, we'll have a randomized third robot in the mix. We just draw random cards and let the thing wander about. It throws a bit of extra chaos into the mix :)
Deathworks
Hi! I am really excited about the board game article (who would have guessed :) ). I am also curious to see whether you have the original version of "Robo Rally" or the newer, censored one. (I already have "504" near the table to give the system a try) Yours, Deathworks

That should come out by the end of the year as well, probably a few months before MRPG 2e. I can't wait for it either :) It's really grown into something much more than what I had originally thought.

Any idea when micro mythic will be released? Not expecting much, but I can't wait for that book.
