Mythic 5.1 Beta Released
Added 2022-09-11 01:06:00 +0000 UTCFirst, lets' cut to the chase. The Mythic 5.1 Beta releases with the following:
- Mythic 5.1 Beta
- ONI Splatbook 5.1 Beta
- Cybernetics Splatbook 5.1 Beta
- Medieval Ages 5.1 Alpha
- Civilian 5.X Splatbook
- Warzone 5.0 Splatbook
- Character sheets
This comes with the original Warzone and Civilian splatbooks. The civilian splatbook doesn't really need much to be used alongside 5.1, so it's staying the way it is for now. The Warzone splatbook would need some minor updates to make sure the weapon values are in the right place, but not much was changed in terms of these types of weapons for 5.1. They would all still be fairly viable, beyond changes to the Energy Swords and Gravity Hammers. A Warzone 5.1 splatbook will be released by the time the full Mythic 5.1 handbook is released.
The ONI Splatbook has been updated in terms of values and costs. The biggest change is moving all of the Cryo weapons and rules to the main Mythic handbook. T
The Cybernetics Splatbook is a new commissioned splatbook to offer more advanced cybernetics. This is offered alongside Mythic 5.1 rules and not all cybernetics are compatible with previous versions of Mythic.
The Character Sheets are a bit outdated, but they still work and offer plenty of space to add things that you still need to track, such as the new Special Damage rules and the Perceptive Range stat. Some day I'll get to updating these, but I am fresh out of design ideas.
An alpha of Medieval Ages is also available. This alpha has some obviously unfinished aspects, but it's still in a playable state. You'll find the new melee stance rules that can be used in Mythic, hundreds of new weapons and armor, and more. There are aspects of travel, character creation, and shopping that are not finished.
And finally, Mythic 5.1.
Mythic 5.1's update is one of the biggest overall changes to the book. A complete layout change, massive reduction in pagecount (don't worry, I added enough content to come out with more pages than 5.0 anyway), an improved table of contents, and several balance passes and simplification of rules.
Due to the amount of changes, I suggest taking a look at the changelog, offered here.
