September Preview
Added 2024-09-22 23:45:56 +0000 UTCGreetings Tier 3 Mythicists, I hope your games this month have been out of this world!
For September's preview I wanted to show you the worksheet that goes with the star system generator in the next issue of Mythic Magazine. I know this issue is only about a week away from coming out, but I really like how this page turned out so I want to show it :)
As you can see, it's for recording simple but important details about a star system. The generator creates "big picture" stuff, like a system's most notable features and oddities, which you then record on the Star System Chart.
Distances are abstracted, but matter. For instance, the outer, middle, and inner regions of a star system may have their own characteristics and differ from each other. This also helps with generating encounters in space as crossing from one area of a star system into another can be viewed as a trigger to see if you come across anything new.
I'm still working things out, but I like how it's coming along :) It's a little more toolboxy than the magical traditions generator, in that you figure out as much detail as you need about a star system, then those serve as Context for when you focus your adventure into those places.
Happy adventuring!
Comments
Oh, yes, this could meld nicely. I'm taking a fairly light approach to this system, with the assumption that it will likely be plugged into other sci-fi systems, so I don't want its rules to get in the way of those rules. This could be just enough to fill that gap you're experiencing.

2024-09-23 15:51:15 +0000 UTCCouldn't this serve well for something like Diaspora or MindJammer? I bought both core rule books earlier this year and have been looking into how to better play those systems in regard to planet/system generation with Mythic and this could prove helpful for sure!

2024-09-23 13:20:08 +0000 UTCI recently had to purge my Patreon due to a sudden and severe lack of funds. But I knew I couldn't get rid of this one. And this proves it. Mythic is just getting better and better.
