There's a lot going on :) Mythic GME 2e may have just arrived on the scene, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bunch more coming!

Speaking of Mythic GME 2e, a POD version is in the works. I'm waiting on proofing copies being sent to me. Unfortunately, this is taking longer than usual. I had been saying I expect this to be available by mid-February, but I am less sure of that now. Assuming the printer moves on this within the next few days, and I receive it and discover it has no errors, then it might still make mid-February. Crossing my fingers!

I will start with a softcover version on DTRPG, and maybe a hardcover there as well. Both would be standard color with a premium color version to follow.

I am exploring some options for getting a high quality, offset print run of GME 2e made. I don't want to say more than this because there is still research, planning, and decision making to do before this can be a possibility.

I've collected and made corrections to GME 2e and I will likely be uploading a new PDF to DTRPG soon. So far, there have been few errors, thankfully.

I am planning on making some GME 2e support products. I think this is especially necessary considering the large assortment of tables in the book. Right now, I am planning on a set of reference cards that will have important tables on individual playing cards for easy sorting. I'm also considering doing a reference book that is essentially the same as the Rules Summary and Collected Tables at the back of the book but available separately and coil bound so it lays open flat easily.

I'm probably going to put One-Page Mythic, from Mythic Magazine #25, on DTRPG as a separate product. People really like the One-Page rules, and giving it its own listing would raise its profile a bit and allow me to offer it in bundles or as a giveaway on Free RPG Day.

Of course, the big thing I am working on next is Mythic RPG 2e :) It's still mostly in a conceptual stage right now as I work out what to include in it. However, I expect this to be quite a large book, maybe clocking in at around 330 pages. I am aiming to make it an all-in-one, complete resource for making just about any kind of game you can imagine.

I'm also planning on releasing a commercial license and SRD for making solo adventure modules, as seen in Mythic Magazines #11 and #22. The idea is to make a resource so people can make and sell their own solo adventures using the guidelines and tools in those issues.

Lots going on :)

I'm very pleased with how well received Mythic GME 2e has been. Thank you all for your support, it truly helps me to get these things done :)

Happy adventuring!

Thank you :)

That all sounds very promising. I'm very eager to get hold of a printed GME 2e. Many thanks. Keep up the good stuff ;-)

Tana, I’ve had a personal project for some time (pre mythic magazine) that implements some of the mechanical elements from mythic, variations, and the magazines (the bits that work for me). Basically automating some of the “sheet” upkeep. I’d like to make this open source in case folks are adventurous enough to try it out themselves. This isn’t a “customer” focused product nor would be, but like minded folks may enjoy using it. Would the publishing of the SRD cover this? I’ve predominantly avoided the thought as I don’t want to give folks the excuse NOT to buy your wonderful work. There’s little info in the tool on how to actually USE the mythic mechanics though so folks are on their own there.

An offset print would surely be nice, but I guess the shipping costs would kill the deal for non-US customers (like me) – I'll probably wait for premium color POD. Coil bound collected tables is a good idea – and Lulu makes coil bound POD books, in case you are thinking of going POD with those (I think DTRPG printing service currently does not offer coil-bounds).

I'm so excited for the RPG!

So much to look forward to Tana! I would also definitely plunk down some cash for an offset print edition...you might even want to look into doing a Kickstarter for it!

This is great, Tana, thank you! Very much looking forward to the updated Mythic RPG!

Gotta say, I know it's not a sure thing but I would drop some real dough on an offset print of 2e. Just sayin.....

Please keep in mind that an offset version is still a maybe. Although, I would really love it :) I hate to retire the old deck as well. Of course, I'll keep the old deck in circulation. Some may prefer it. The new deck will likely have a very different design.

Tana Pigeon

This is a most helpful update. Now I can go buy the GME 2E PDF on drivethru, and wait for that sweet, sweet offset print (no pressure). The new deck sounds quite exciting as well, though I will hate to retire the old one.

Oh! And I forgot, there's also a new Mythic GME Deck coming :) I'm working out a way to fit all that table data onto the cards.
