Mythic Musings 5: Mythic RPG Project 2; Ideas and Addendums

While I absolutely loved doing a deep dive into the Mythic RPG, and I very much appreciate the readers who checked in on it, the point of doing it was two fold. The first was to make sure I really knew what I was playing, and when I pontificated on it I wasn't giving people inaccurate information. The other reason though was to break it up into its constituent pieces to then start applying Mythic Variations, Magazine articles, and genre specific house rules to the corpus of the work. 

Ideas and Addendums will be just that. I am starting a Magic meets Machine dystopian game that is inspired by a very popular IP. I don't actually plan to convert that game into Mythic. In fact its dice system (a d6 dice pool) doesn't line up at all with the conversions given in Chapter 11 of Mythic RPG. The point on picking that game for inspiration is variety. It has room for fantasy stories, sci-fi stories, survival stories, different types dungeon crawl scenarios, horror story, and of course heists, which it is best known for. With that much variety, it can be a setting for all seasons. 

For this series of test scenarios, I am going to use one tiny bit of setting as a base point, but probably a wide variety of characters to highlight different aspects of the game. If the primary character of the day is a drone pilot, it will be very hard to test magic systems with them. 

As has become my normal procedure, I will link all articles to a table of contents below, and put return links on all the articles. I think this will be fun on a couple of levels. One we (I would love some input from you folks) we will be getting to do deep dives into various Mythic Magazine articles. Secondly we will get a chance flex our own brains with unique ideas. 

I hope you all will join me for this second ambitious project.
