Hello Tier 3 people, I have a Random Event for you that may seem a little odd. It's about monsters.
The Creature Crafter holds a special place in my heart as the first book in the Crafter series and my first foray outside of Mythic material. It is also my least popular book.
Although I have plenty of projects in the current pipeline, I am considering somewhere down the line revisiti...

2021-09-07 20:44:26 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings Tier 3 people! The time has come once again for you to choose what articles will be in the next Mythic Magazine.
I've come to love this process. At least half the time you all choose an article that I did not expect to win. This means that if I had not asked you I would have gone with what I thought most people wanted and I would have been wrong half the time. It's a happy balan...
2021-09-03 18:57:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm excited that Mythic Magazine 9 is out, because it's hard to believe we'll be coming up on one year of it really soon.
I know a lot of you have been asking about POD versions of Mythic Magazine. I'm working on those and should have a POD version of #1 soon, with #2 and #3 following soon after. Mentioning one year of the magazine, I'll be coming up on making a compendium...
2021-09-01 23:10:23 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm going to be making a couple of changes to how the Patreon works. This mostly affects people who have yet to sign up.
I'll be changing the billing to pay up front, which means when someone joins they will be required to pay the tier cost when they join. After that, billing is as normal on the first of the month. Again, this won't affect current members unless you upgrad...
2021-09-01 17:07:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I hope Mythic Magazine #9 is going well with you. I've already heard some positive feedback about the behavior system, which makes me happy :)
I have a question for you Tier 3 people, since you are my Creative Council. This is more about policy with the Patreon page. I am considering making a change in how the Patreon charges and how content is made available. I'll admit m...

Hello everyone :) Happy late August. I don't know about where you are, but here it is hot! It's been 105 degrees F the last few days and my air conditioner died. That's a bad Random Event.
But on the upside I have a brand new edition of Mythic Magazine! The articles in this issue include Matching An RPG To Your Style Of Solo Play, and Generating NPC Behavior With Fate Questions.

2021-08-30 21:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostMythic Magazine #9 is almost done. There are two articles, as usual. One is talking about choosing an RPG to match your preferred solo play style, and the other is another run at NPC behavior.
I found the RPG article difficult to write, mostly because everyone has their own way of playing solo. Also, Mythic and other oracles by their nature are meant to allow you to play any RPG solo, so ...
2021-08-26 23:42:27 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone! Mythic Magazine #9 is coming along nicely. One of the articles chosen through the Tier 3 poll was another way to generate NPC social interactions. This article went a slightly different way than I expected and is encompassing another approach to NPC behavior generation. I shouldn't say "another" approach really, since it's a refinement on the default approach presented in th...

Hello 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 Elem...

You can vote for more than one if...
2021-08-02 21:20:51 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone! I've been happy with the reception of Mythic Magazine #8. I was a little surprised when the Tier 3 members chose Player vs. Character Knowledge as the top article, but once again they were right judging from the positive feedback I'm getting. This is one of those topics that I consider a "quality of life" issue for role-players, because we all face the question of handling p...

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. It's that time again, time for more Mythic Magazine :)
Here is issue #8, and it's all about knowledge. As per Patreon demand, the first article in this issue is a discussion about Resolving Character Vs. Player Knowledge. I approached this with my own thoughts about it, trying to encapsulate how the problem generally presents itself followed with...

2021-07-15 18:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostWork has begun on Mythic Magazine #8, and while that takes place I'm finally making headway on getting the earlier editions into physical print format. I'm waiting on a proof copy of Volume 1, and files for Volume 2 have been sent to the printer. I'm hoping the other volumes will follow fairly quickly and we can have all of the Mythic Magazines in print format in a few months.

Remember, you can vote for more than one article. Just please don't run the list and vote for them all lol

I've been doing this Patreon for about 7 months now, and there are 7 Mythic Magazines out there. I don't know why, but it seems like this time has gone by quickly. I'm surprised at the volume of Mythic material out there now lol

Hello Tier 3 people :) I hope your month is going well.
Work continues on Mythic Second Edition. I'm currently focusing on the Random Events chapter. It feels good to rewrite the rules and tighten everything up. Although I'm not making any major changes, the minor changes do add up and I think make Mythic better. The 2nd Edition probably won't matter much to current players of Mythic othe...

2021-06-04 00:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Mythic Magazine #6 is newly out, and I really feel like the Mystery rules represent something very new in the Mythic lineup. I'm curious to see how this method gets used over time.
I've mentioned before that when Mythic 2nd Edition comes out, it'll not only incorporate the contents of the Variations books but also the best material from the Mythic Magazines up to that poin...

Greetings everyone! Attached is Mythic Magazine #6.
This issue contains an article on how to incorporate satisfying mystery adventures into your Mythic campaigns. This was a challenging one to write given how complicated mysteries can get. However, this was also very satisfying; I've wanted to address mysteries in a deeper manner ever since Mythic Variations came out. Now I feel like that...

Hello Tier 3 people, I have a Random Event for you!
This is the cover art for the upcoming Mythic Magazine #6, for your viewing pleasure. A lot of the covers so far have tended toward the color blue, so Jorge wanted to get some variety in there by leaning toward red. This art will go with an example in one of the articles.
Happy adventuring everyone! :)
2021-05-15 22:00:28 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings Tier 3 people! It's time for a Random Event ... please choose what the main article in Mythic Magazine #6 will be. I know it's a weighty responsibility, but I believe in you.
It seems like only yesterday a Mythic player was suggesting I do an ezine for the Patreon site, and here we are 6 issues later!
2021-05-10 21:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone! I hope your month is going well so far.
I already have the artwork for the cover of Mythic Magazine #6, and I can hardly believe we're already on the sixth issue! Tier 3 people be on the lookout soon for a poll asking you what the main article should be.

Greetings everyone! Please find attached Mythic Magazine #5.
This one has an article about combining Mythic with The Adventure Crafter, expanding on the advice already given in the AC book.
Also, adding another new specialized Region to join Dungeons is Woods. Specifically, dark woods and wild places!

The article on combining Mythic with The Adventure Crafter expands on what was included in the original AC book. Probably the biggest addition is a new Event Focus Table that plays more nicely with the way the Adventure Crafter handles Lists.
The other article is another specialized Region: ...
