Blog Update: Life happened

I recently received a grant to continue my IT education by getting a series of certifications after was down sized as part of a mass layoff. The first of those certs is a tough one, a fundamentals class I wish I had taken in college, but I am grateful to have now. 

Sadly though, there are only so many hours in the day so my blogging time has been severely impacted. This blog is not dead. It isn't on hiatus. It just isn't being updated regularly. With that said I am keeping up and even improving my Mythic Magazine Index, and tidying up old articles. Editing has never been my strong suit, as I am sure you have noticed. So it is nice to take some time to get a bit of the older articles polished up. 

On the gaming front I have been exploring with using the GURPS 3d6 roll under dice system and there Advantages, Disadvantages, and a long stretch of a variation on their skill system, to play the mountain of D&D 3.x/Pathfinder 1e material I own. My special interest at this time is exploring the various nooks, crannies, and secrets of the Eberron setting.

I do plan to leave the guidelines of the D&D/GURPS hack up here when I am comfortable I have worked out all the kinks I can. Also, there will be more Mythic content coming down the line, like a list of articles from the Mythic Magazine that are Fantasy focused. 

So please enjoy the articles and tools that are here, and I will get back in the saddle to adding more material as soon as I can.

Until then Happy Gaming,

Wizard Dad

Mythic Index Topic 17: Setting Creation Elements

Return to Index ToC

Sometimes if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Well, sometimes if you want to play the game of your dreams, you aren't going to find it on a shelf. Many Mythic players think nothing of making a character, generating a random scene, and jumping right in. I do that sometimes myself, but I am a long time GM, and the pleasure of making cities, countries, and whole worlds (not to mention the occasional multiverse) is too hard to resist. 

If you share that passion for creating on the large scale, the articles below will probably be a big help.
