Greetings Mythicists! I have lots of Mythic news to go over, so here we go.

• First, I'm happy that the Mythic Magazine Compilations are getting back on track. Compilation #4 was recently released and Compilation #5 is in the works. When that comes out it should almost be time for Compilation #6 to be released, which should follow a month or two later. That would bring all the Compilations up to date with the current issues of Mythic Magazine. That should all take place over the next 4 months.

• I'm looking into getting an offset version of Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition made. When the book first came out I had checked with a few publishers to see if they'd like to work with me on producing a high quality edition of the book, but that just didn't pan out. So, I'm looking into producing it myself. I have a printer lined up and a distributor, Indie Press Revolution. My hope is to get these printed and shipped by February. IPR would sell them directly from their website, and they would also be available for wholesale to brick and mortar stores. I'm excited about this not only so there's an offset version of MGME2e available, but it will also establish a print to distributor pipeline that I can use for more books to get the offset treatment.

• I've partnered with Spanish language publisher Colmena de Papel who is producing a Spanish version of MGME2e. They're really putting their hearts into this and I'm excited to see how the book turns out!

• The Mythic App has received its iOS version, which is available thanks to developer Dasher Apps LLC. 

• Speaking of new editions, I've also recently made available the classic red book Mythic RPG in a coil bound edition through Lulu. This is part of my ongoing effort to have all of my books available in coilbound.

• Mythic RPG 2e is in the works. I'm working with my fabulous line editor, Mel, and my goal is to get a chapter done per month. I've put out a call among Tier 3 Patrons for playtesters, and lots of you answered. Thank you! I hope to start contacting you over the coming months to get your thoughts on work in progress game mechanics.

• I'm working on Mythic Magazine #35 right now. This is the first issue that has an article written by a guest writer. I've done a couple of collaborations in the past in MM, but this is the most extensive one. I won't spoil any surprises, but I think you'll like what this creator cooked up!

• Speaking of Mythic Magazine, issue #36 is right around the corner. That issue marks 3 full years of Mythic Magazine. It's hard to wrap my head around that. It seems like just a few months ago that I was discussing the idea of doing a magazine with my family, and now here we are three years later. I want to express my gratitude to you, the Mythicist Patrons, for making this possible. Your support and input has been invaluable, and I appreciate you! I also love the monthly content polls and how fans of the game are integral to choosing how Mythic and Crafter materials evolve. Thank you!

Happy adventuring!
