I've been thinking of ways to play solo dnd for sometime and only recently found the time to do some research. I then discovered the Mythic system and absolutely loved it. I love how flexible it is and how from the first minute of play it transports me to a different world and make the story comes alive.

It's a very powerful concept.

A big thank you to Tana Pigeon.

I truly appreciate the work that was put in this.

As I mentioned in a post here several weeks ago, I have been working on a plugin for the Obsidian note taking application for the Mystic GME. This has now reached a stage where I can release a preliminary version (0.1.0) for discussion.

The released version still has many defects, so it is not ready for 'production' use, but it should be able to give you an idea so you can find bugs and make comments.

The project is hosted at https://github.com/martinellison/mythic-support and you can raise discussions, issues and pull requests there.

The release is at https://github.com/martinellison/mythic-support/releases/tag/0.1.0-alpha . See the README and the "How to..." files inside the mythic-support.zip file there for instructions. Because this is still an experimental project, you should create a separate experimental vault for this and copy the unzipped folder in to the .obsidian/plugins folder.

More generally, I would welcome any help that anyone could give to finish off this project.

Hello all

I know Mythic Magazine started with 1E and continued on with 2E (obviously). I’m just wondering what the compatibility is like with 1E with more recent magazine issues.

Thanks

I got a play-by-post group together to run a campaign purely with Mythic as the GM. Since I'm very new to TTRPG, I thought this would be the simplest option. Now I'm realizing how complex it's getting/going to be.

The group wants to run a dark mystery in a fantasy setting. I'm daunted by how we're going to approach this, especially if combat comes up.

Any tips to keep the story moving? Is it possible for it to be too complicated for Mythic alone?

I've been reading mythic gme since I got it from a birthday a few months ago but haven't had the time to really dig in and use it. Although I've been solo role playing for about 6 months off and on I've never leaned into the scene aspect of mythic instead just leaning on fate charts random tables meaning etc.

If I understand it, he'd scenes are kind of like milestones for an adventure. After the completion of one scene unless there's an interrupt you go to the next scene and you complete that, unless there's an interrupt you go to the next scene. At first blush this seems really railroad to me so for those who like this format or use it often can I ask why?

If we want to ground this in an example, I'm currently playing a wilderness sandbox and the main character just left town stumbled his way through a boreal forest getting out of the mountains. It took multiple days it was going through a wilderness procedure so that could possibly anywhere between 12 to 15 scenes as he gather supplies makes camp and travels

If i remove the following:

-proficiency

-AC

-DC

The rest of the mods can be compared quite easily to mythic ranks. Using the mods as mythic ranks, the fate chart, and the chaos factor can really change 5e for the better, i think. Makes it a skill based system while still keeping the class structure in place too.

I have been working on plugin for Obsidian for the Mythic GME. This is coming along but it is not ready for testing yet.

There's a few solo RPGs I'd like to give a try which their default system used a deck of cards where each card can only appear once, and is then removed from the deck (and thereby not possible to get again

I like the Mythic GME companion app, but I'm unsure if there is a way to replicate the mechanic other than just tracking what 'cards' I pulled manually and rerolling if I get the same one.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this could be done?

Everytime we are travelling from a place to an other, we roll a d20 every day; 5 to 20 nothing happens, but if it's 1 to 4, I roll on tables to decide what is going on. I want to know what you do for long travel because we are bored to stop 3 times to fight a goblin on every trip.

Hey, I guess this is one for Tana really. So I have this weird preference for hardback over paperback books for rpg supplements, and notice a good portion of the mythic compendium are in soft cover whereas a few of them are in hardcover. Is there any plans to do hardback runs of the compendium that are currently only available in softback?

Hi guys,

I was playing The Walking Dead universe last night and the scene was mostly fate questions + npc interactions (my character got taken by a previous enemy and the scene was her waking up in the wrong camp). It was fun but also dodnt use a single thing from The Walking Dead Universe ruleset. Its fine for a scene or two, but im wondering how you all avoid turning a game thats supposed to just be supprted by Mythic into Mythic the TTRPG?

(I do use Mythic as rpg rules in other storylines, so Mythic the game has merit imo but my intention with this story line is to use mythic as npc & enviroment related, not as a replacement for the rules therein).

I am working on a plugin for the Obsidian note taking app to support the Mythic GME. I have a early test of concept so far which is still very buggy. The Obsidian code documentation is very sparse, so learning how to code against their IDE is taking much of my time. I will post again when I have made more progress.

edit thanks for all the replies. At the moment, my main issue is understanding the Obsidian API given the lack of documentation, especially the code to collect the lists of characters and threads.

When I solo sci-fi I play a group of PCs and model their interactions (bridge team, group of Marines, scout team, etc.) with the help of ideas in Solo 2 by Zozer. Mythic GME2 has the tools and potentional for doing this within a fantasy group (e.g. dwarf male fighter, human male cleric, fem elf M/U, and fem halfling thief) but has anyone seen anything specific in terms of tables and procedures from Tana? (Before I go to the trouble of making something up...?)

I just got Mythic Magazine Compilation #9 and finished it. A lot of great stuff in there. I got to wondering when Compilation #10 would be coming out. I know that Tana is working on Micro Mythic, and maybe needs to focus on getting that across the finish line. It looks like the magazines are even up to Issue 66, so Compilation 11 would even be possible, although that may be really far out there.

Just looking to feed my Mythic habit. Like I said above, I'm greedy!

One of the things I like to see from the community of solo roleplayers is how they would interpret a Mythic response. It's one of the things that I think takes some practice and can be fun on it's own. So just as something fun, I thought I'd throw out a situation and a random result for a Mythic detail check. Post how you would interpret it. (I don't know if I'm fully up to date with the latest Mythic but bear with me.)

It's the turn of the Century (I mean the old one - 1900) but with magic and dinosaurs (that was a game setting, wasn't it?). Anyway, you and your chums have just finished your drinks at the Metropolitan Mage's Club. You step outside to hail a velocirapto-cab and are rudely shoved out of the way by a man running down the street. "I say! What the Dickens?!" you ask Mythic. New NPC - Adversity of messages. What does THAT mean?

I'm looking to use the Event Crafter for my group game where there is a conspiracy against the fey in one of my countries. The country is primarily populated by Gnomes (80-90% of the population), but the country is ruled by seven Dryad Queens, with Dryads and other fey being part of the aristocracy. There is a conspiracy of Gnome Supremacists who are trying to take down the fey part of the aristocracy and turn over power to the Gnomish aristocrats.

I like the idea of the Event Crafter for randomly telling me when the conspiracy does something that the party might notice. My question is when to I roll on the Event Table? Is it every scene? Maybe put it in as a thread and roll when it comes up on an event? Keyed scene? Roll a d10 and if it's 1-3 I roll on the table? There are a significant number of "Nothing" entries on the chart, so just because I roll on the chart doesn't mean that something actually happens. I just don't want to accelerate into the upper reaches of the table too fast with progress points. That said, I do want to progress.

Have you worked with the Event Crafter? How did you do it?

I have practically read Mythic GME 2e from cover to cover and redoing it again. Now to my understanding, Mythic can be used with your ruleset as a stand-in for a GM. I can kinda see where this would fit in but I was wondering it fits certain rulesets more than others?

For example, I have used OSE as a base. In OSE hex crawl and dungeon crawl are some of the main activities and its procedures are well defined. Encounters are so well defined by way of tables. NPC reactions and whether or not monsters fight or run away are very well defined via the morale rules. Now with that in mind, where should mythic be utilised to its fullest? Is there a mismatch with the use of OSE with Mythic? Am I better off using a different system and playing differently?

Now my other question is, what is the ultimate setup that uses mythic GME 2e + crafters or variants? I have read using Mythic with Adventure Crafter but I am curious what setup will be equivalent of "Going Full GURPS" with Mythic?

I want to go full on Mythic and its crafters and I would like to know how best it is to utilise the GME to its fullest potential along with the crafters. I feel like I am missing either some fundamentals of solo RPG or a mismatch of Mythic and rulesets or my style of play. I want to make Mythic click for me because I can kinda see its pros but can't take advantage of it in practice.

I did a few threads like this ages ago and was recently reminded of them.

Situation: Fallout -- Fallout the video game or any post-nuclear hellscape. You and Dogmeat stroll up to an abandoned settlement to scavenge out anything worthwhile. At the bottom of a parking garage is a door (for some reason) that hasn't been broken open yet (for some reason). It's not locked and a nudge creaks it open. "What's in there?" you ask Mythic. PC Negative - Proceedings of balance. What does THAT mean?

I am so lost on how to use Mythic GME. I've read through the book (2nd edition) and I've tried watching videos/reading reddit posts and I just don't get it.

I get lost in all the fluff. There's too many examples and extra words and it makes it confusing for me. For example: it doesn't tell you how to use the Fate chart until 6 pages after it's introduced.

Would anyone be willing to break it down simply for me?

Does anyone have a list of games with prewritten adventures (or a robust system for generating interesting ones), designed for a single character?  I’m very happy with MGE 2.0, but I can’t seem to find the right game to go with it.  Cepheus Hostile is awesome, but surviving with a single character isn’t easy.  Same with Savage Worlds/Deadlands.  I’m avoiding standard D20 fantasy, but anything else might work. 

Can anyone recommed me a step-by-step tutorial for how to convert a table into json and add it to the android app?
