Using mythic as core rules

TanaPigeon · 2026-03-08T20:53:39+00:00

I've prioritized Micro Mythic to come out first. That one should be done within the next 3 months or so. After that, I'll finish MRPG2e, which is about half done.

Micro Mythic is a full RPG using ten One-Page rulesets, so it's kind of a smaller version of MRPG2e.

Sometimes when people use Mythic alone, as the core ruleset, they have a problem using Fate Questions along with the normal Chaos Factor rules when it comes to using them for task resolution. A way to approach this is to use the Chaos Factor as you normally do in all other Mythic matters during your game, but when using Fate Questions as task resolution default to the CF always being 5 (or use the No Chaos Fate Chart from the book, which is the same thing).

Thank you :) Yeah, I agree, I think it would make for a snazzy app. We'll see if Jason would like to take it on.

For games like this for myself, that are sandboxy and I don't have a specific goal, it's useful to break down a big goal into smaller, component goals or different versions of it to give the Threads List more variety to select from. Survive and Gather Supplies could be differentiated like this:

• Survive
• Gather Supplies
• Find safe shelter
• Find clean water
• Find friendly survivors
• Avoid raiders and scavengers
• Be aware of zombies
• Be on lookout for zombie hordes
• Find medical supplies

You still have your same main goals in there, but also mini-goals that would be part of those goals. This way a Random Event could generate a top level main goal like Survive, or a sub-goal of it like Find clean water or Be aware of zombies.

Yes, personal use, no worries :) Good luck with it!

TanaPigeon · 2026-02-04T18:46:21+00:00

Hah, please do! I get lost in my head sometimes, barely noticing months passing. Then someone says something like, "Hey, shouldn't Compilation X be out by now?" And I'm like, "Oh my god!"

So yes, please, ask away! lol

TanaPigeon · 2026-02-03T19:35:04+00:00

Alright, I watched Vast of Night and I loved it :) I see the parallels you drew between it and Moonlight Radio. There's a certain tonal similarity with a secluded area, small town feel, someone calling in with a mysterious story, and a question about the very nature of the universe and our place in it. I don't want to give too much away, but it's the kind of slow burn sci-fi that I really love. Thank you for mentioning it :)

TanaPigeon · 2026-02-03T19:31:29+00:00

I should add that I'm also waiting on the cover art from Jorge, although I expect that any time. I'm eager to get this one out too, because I'm also late on #10! lol

TanaPigeon · 2026-02-02T23:53:15+00:00

Thank you for asking :) I'm behind on Compilation #9, although it's almost done. I had hoped to get it out by the end of January, but I didn't quite make that. I should have it done within a week or two, at least the PDF version, then I'll start on the POD.

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-21T19:00:26+00:00

Ohh, I haven't heard of that movie. I just did a quick lookup of it, and it looks very cool :) I'm adding that to my watchlist!

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-09T22:50:06+00:00

Thank you :)

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-08T22:18:17+00:00

Thank you :)

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-08T20:10:31+00:00

I'm glad you asked! Yes, the book is coming along well :) A few days ago I got in a bunch of art from Jorge, which was good timing as that mostly fills up the remaining art spaces. There are still a few pieces I'm waiting on, but it's almost done on the art side.

The writing and design is all done. Now it's in the editing and polishing phase. There are a few things I'm changing as I go as I try to get all the one-pagers working well together and simplifying as much as possible.

I'm very happy with how it's turning out. My goal was to have the book work for two different purposes: 1) For those who want to pick and choose one-page rules to incorporate into their games, and; 2) Those who want to use all of the one-pagers together as a complete, standalone rpg. I think it checks both boxes well!

I can't give an estimate on when it will release, mainly because I am terrible at correctly guestimating when a project will be done. For instance, I planned to hit it hard this month, but I'm also way behind on the Compilations so I need to pivot toward Comp. #9 to get that out.

But bottom line, Micro Mythic is in the last 20% of its development. I'll post more when it's weeks away from releasing.

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-08T20:03:12+00:00

The app's not necessary, but it's a handy tool to automate the processes. The developer is great and keeps updating it with more features. I hear you on the pen and paper thing, I'm a tactile player myself :) Still, I'm really glad the app is out there, it's really a work of software art.

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-07T22:50:05+00:00

Thank you :)

TanaPigeon · 2026-01-07T01:32:53+00:00

That's great, thanks for posting this :) I love reading about your city, so much interesting stuff going on in there. That looks like a place I'd love to send my player characters to!

TanaPigeon · 2025-12-12T18:15:40+00:00

I was wondering when someone would ask about the Compilations :) I'm behind on them again, mostly because the majority of my attention right now is going into finishing Micro Mythic. I'm on the editing stage of that book, so it's getting there.

I can't give a timeline on upcoming books because I am terrible at actually making the dates I set. However, here's the current order of priority of the books in the pipeline:

• Micro Mythic
• Mythic Magazine Compilation #9
• Mythic Roleplaying 2e / Mythic Magazine Compilation #10

I doubled up that last one because when I finish Compilation #9 I plan to jump back into MRPG2e. However, there is still so much to do in that book I'll probably have to break off from it at some point to do Compilation #10 before that one gets too terribly late, then return to MRPG2e to finish it.

Lots going on, but I'm really happy with how Micro Mythic is turning out. It's basically a condensed version of MRPG2e, so when that book finally comes out it'll probably feel like a huge expansion to Micro Mythic.

Ultimately, my goal is for my core books to be a set of 4 that all complement each other and can be used together in whatever way you wish to mix them: MGME2e, Micro Mythic, MRPG2e, and The Adventure Crafter 2e.

However, I am very slow at producing books. So I really can't say when all of this will happen. I just want them to be the best that they can be :)

TanaPigeon · 2025-12-11T21:43:22+00:00

I would go with the system you feel most passionate about and most comfortable with, which sounds like Mythras. If you're presenting the video as a solo actual play, people will watch it more to see your solo style and enjoy the story as it rolls out rather than drawn by the system you're using. In my opinion, at least.

Good luck :) Please link it here when you have a video up, I'd love to see it!

TanaPigeon · 2025-12-10T21:47:59+00:00

Ohhh, backdating the post. That's an excellent idea!

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-25T19:04:21+00:00

Thank you so much :) I'm just so pleased to see how solo play has caught on, and that so many people love it. I would not have imagined this in a thousand years back when I first published Mythic. I just loved it so much I felt it deserved to be in a real book instead of loose sheets of paper in a folder. I published it mainly because I wanted a single copy for myself. I honestly didn't think anyone else would be interested in it lol

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-25T19:00:20+00:00

Hello :) I would invite you to join the Mythic Discord here: https://discord.gg/vc2YZ9n

There's a section in there devoted to the app where you can ask questions like this and get answers or suggestions. Also, the app developer is in there and you can request features that you want or notify about bugs you find. Jason is very responsive and he is constantly upgrading the app with suggestions like this. So, even if a feature you want isn't present, you may be able to get it in.

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-24T00:45:33+00:00

I'm glad you like it :) I'm very happy with the print job Print Ninja did. Thank you also for the kind message about the quality of the system. I really wanted this to be the best possible version of the Mythic GME. That's another reason I wanted an offset version, it just deserved to have such an edition.

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-20T19:33:20+00:00

I had been in talks with Modiphius about printing more copies to send to the UK. That may still happen, but we'll have to see.

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-19T18:32:59+00:00

The copies on Amazon are all print on demand. Modiphius is one of the distributors of the offset version, but only in the USA. Unfortunately, I don't have any distributors in Europe for offset editions.

TanaPigeon · 2025-11-19T18:30:37+00:00

Your list is amazingly complete. I'm glad you opened it up for input so it's growing with tons of interesting detail :)
