Mythic 2e preview
Added 2021-08-17 17:07:46 +0000 UTCHello Tier 3 people, I have a Random Event for you!
Attached is a preview of most of Chapter 2 of Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition, the Random Events chapter. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress, so what you see may change by the time it officially comes out.
Most of this will look familiar to you, but probably the biggest change is the addition of the Elements Meaning Table. I'm including this as part of the core book along with the Action and Description Meaning tables to give the Meaning Tables more granularity.
The Elements table is lifted completely from Mythic Magazine #2, The Randomized Location Crafting article. This is part of the cross-pollination I hoped would happen when Mythic Magazine came out.
I think this is a good addition to the core of Mythic because while the Action and Description meaning tables are very effective at inspiring, they can at times be too general. The Elements Meaning Table gives you a chance to roll on a Meaning Table for something more specific, a Character, Location, or Object. The results are all taken from the regular Meaning Tables, all the Elements table does is categorize the results into more meaningful sections so you are more likely to get a pair of interpretive words that more closely align to what you are looking for.
If you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to comment below!
Happy adventuring!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the red book :) Yes, combat will get an overhaul in the second edition. In fact, the entire RPG aspect of the game will get an overhaul, although the core basic aspects will remain the same. I think what it primarily needs is some tidying and a bit of simplifying.

2021-08-20 17:40:27 +0000 UTCI love the Mythic rules, specially the complete red book. I like to use only Mythic rules to all the generic storytelling. I´d like so much to understand better the combat rules from the red book. Maybe with a Flowchart or new approach from the Mythic Complete second edition that will come. Congratulations! I love it..

2021-08-19 19:58:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the kind words, Alexandru :) I don't have plans to upgrade the deck right now, but I likely will in the future. Despite the changes in Mythic 2e nothing is changing that is reflected on the current deck. I have thought about the Behavior Check getting onto cards, because it would speed it up a lot in the same way that The Adventure Crafter does in deck form. I'm thinking of that as a separate deck, like an Encounter Deck, that would incorporate the behavior rules as well as description and other rule to generate encounters and behavior. Maybe even include Creature Crafter material on there to make it an all-in-one deck of encounters.

2021-08-19 16:50:04 +0000 UTCLooks very good Tana ! Love how you integrate content from the magazines and how the purple blocks truly are there to open new doors. This whole integration got me thinking about the Mythic GM cards. With all the small changes and mostly improvements that the V2 will bring to Mythic are you vaguely-on-a-distant-horizon-thinking about upgrading the cards ? Integrating the behaviour checks (somehow, good luck 😬) and random location crafter would elevate that deck to new hights !)
