Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition
by Reygan [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/20/2024 14:20:37

There's a reason this is lauded as one of the best solo and GM-less play tools. You really can play a game on your own with just the book, or use it in tandem with literally any other game intended for solo or group play. I've used it for solo, GMless, and duo adventures, as well as used it for my group work. It's phenomenal.

This is the real thing! I've got hours of enjoyment out of this game. The book has plenty of optional material that makes it grow in usefulness the more I use it. For instance, at first I thought soloing a published group-adventure module wouldn't be for me but soon I'll be doing that too.

Somehow solo RPG'ing is a bit scary thing to start doing. You don't see too many examples and the whole RPG scene is usually explained in terms of group activity. In that respect the book is written in a lovely encouraging way. It gives you the solo player confidence in your decisions.

On a scale from 0 to 5 this is a six-star game for me.

Mythic Magazine Compilation 5
by Keith D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/08/2024 16:58:06

I felt this compilation lacked anything substantial that couldn't be done just as effectively using the core rules and without much thought or planning. I was disapointed by the narrative combat rules. I expected 'narrative' to mean story but it's just another roll to see if you hit, roll damage system. Mythic is a great product but this compilation left me wondering if it's getting in danger of overcomplication from uneccessary side rules.

Probably the best resource for solo and GM-less play, and a fantastic resource for GM play as well. My partner and I use this for all of our games now, whether that's our Sci-Fi Alien-esque, our Call of Cthulhu horror, or our fantasy game.

Mythic Game Master Emulator

I was super skeptical. I've tried a few yes/no oracle type books and programs and they were all too hard or too soft. This one is just right! Once you start using it, it doesn't replace your imagination but it controls and feeds it at the same time. Amazing.

Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition
by Roger J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/22/2023 17:01:58

Mythic GME 2e provides a lot of tools out of the box. It's one of those things that you could take a couple concepts from it and improve the experience of your solo, collaborative, or GM-driven game. It would even be a great source for writing, in my opinion.

A few examples:

  • The Fate Chart and optional Chaos Factor, for guiding outcomes, and ratcheting up the tension in a natural way
  • Lots of genre-agnostic and system-agnostic charts for NPC responses and event outcomes
  • Threads, Characters, and Scenes for tracking story and lore details in an organized way, as well as how to "roll against" them to come up with new plotlines

There's a lot more. I recommend skimming through it once, and picking a couple elements to work with, then tweaking gradually.

If you're on the fence, check out the One-Page Mythic Game Master Emulator by the same author. It's also extremely useful and enough for many solo players and GMs. But I imagine your interest will be picqued enough to check out its bigger sibling.

Although I have a soft spot for CRGE/UNE/BOLD, I think Mythic may be more accessible for the typical player or GM.

Mythic Magazine Compilation 1
by Samuli H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/13/2023 06:22:44

Lots, lots and lots of useful stuff here! The brightest stars for me are the behavior check and the dungeon crafter. Works absolutely fine with the Mythic GME 2nd ed even though some of the material here seems to have ended up the GME2 in a condensed form. But still, loooots of new and useful material here.

In all, a great improvement over the dodgy 1st edition. Note that this reviewer is still trying to wrap his poor brain around this system, but perseverance will undoubtedly reap rewards. After a first read-through it is a bit daunting, with all these flowcharts and procedures to run through. I suppose that actual playtesting will be the best way to familiarise oneself with the intricacies. I would also like to apply this to solo wargaming, but it appears to be more strongly engineered for roleplaying games. On a side note, it would be amusing to see an adaptation of this toward a kind of "dice baseball".

Its great to see a 2nd edition of this wonderful system for solo or GM'less play. Everything about it is better. The content, the explanations, the art and the many options that you can use to tailor this engine to suit your own gaming style.

I like to sample other oracles/engines but Mythic is still one of the very best!

One of the most useful tools for gamemastering I've ever found, Mythic GME has been a companion at my games for several years now. This new edition puts together all the materials that have been added to the system over the years, plus some very small, not very important rules changes, to be the definitive package to use it either solo or as part of your regular RPG games. It deserves also special mention for the effort it puts on being clear, concise, and the excellent examples of its use.

All around, one of the best purchases you can do, no matter which game you play.

My introduction to solo RPG was Mythic and Geek Gamers youtube channel. Mythic provides solid tools for running a solo RPG. My only advice, which is also given in the book, is to not overuse the oracle. It's okay to arbitrarily decide where the narrative goes, as long as it is fun. That being said, making the game too easy by steering the story away from challenges will lead to boredom imo.

Excellent update for a system (Mythic 1e) I didn't like initially. Mythic 2e makes so much more sense, being much better presented, supported and explained. Briefly put: this is the current golden standard of solo play.

i received the Premium Hardcover book today. The print quality is excellent. A sharp glossy color, full color pages throughout. Pages are decently thick and an easy to read (not overly glossy) satin finish.

The contents are great too, but you probably already knew that!

Mythic Magazine Volume 25
by Christian W. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/05/2023 19:57:03

-This is my favorite issue of Mythic Magazine yet! I've already used the One Page Mythic article to introduce new players to roleplaying, and I've had success in pairing it with rules-lite RPGs that make for an ultra slim solo roleplaying experience. I was even more excited by the Long Journeys article. I've wanted exactly this, a Mythic way of handling adventures where the journey itself is the adventure, and the article doesn't dissappoint. This issue's Long Journey mechanics are now the default at my table. Congrats on another excellent issue!
