Greetings Tier 3 people, I have a Random Event for you! This is the lovely cover art made by Jorge for the upcoming Mythic Magazine issue 14. The feature article is on making Emotional Quests, which is a type of overlay to a Mythic Adventure in much the same way Mystery Adventures are. The goal w...
2022-01-22 18:43:54 +0000 UTC View PostWork is proceeding on the next Mythic Magazine, #14. The article I'm writing on Emotional Quests is both very difficult to write but also exciting. Considering that it's about translating trauma into game mechanics, I'm trying to approach it delicately. The emphasis is on the journey to Fulfillme...

I have to share this with you because I think it's so cool :)
As you know, the next edition of Mythic Magazine will contain a new, simplified version of The Creature Crafter. I thought to commemorate this, I would have Jorge make cover art that redoes the mummy creature on the cover of the ...

Greetings Tier 3 people :) I have a Random Event for you ... this is the cover artwork by Jorge Muñoz for the upcoming Mythic Magazine Compilation #1. He incorporated elements from all six covers of issues 1-6, and I think it turned out wonderfully! I kind of love how the dragon from issue #3, w...

In the course of working on Mythic Magazine Compilation #1, I discovered a huge number of typos in Mythic Magazine #4. When I made that issue I must have overlooked a step in my production process. I suppose it's not...

Hello everyone :)
Mythic Magazine #12 is here, and this is a special issue to me since it marks a full twelve months of Mythic Magazine! A little over a year ago I was wondering whether I should do this, and today I can say I'm so happy I did :)
In this issue we have ...

I am considering taking some of the articles that have appeared in Mythic Magazine and expanding on them in the future in their own books. I think there are some ideas that deserve further inspection and their own core book, whether that...
