Hello Mythicists! I hope your December is going well, and your Player Characters are baking you muffins and other tasty goods!
I was a little surprised when the "Solo Guide For Absolute Beginners" won on the poll, because I figure you're all in the know. However, I placed it on the poll in the first place because I realize I have never addressed this subject before and there's lots to say on the matter.
And you chose it! Quite strongly, in fact.
I've been working on the arti...

We return to the zombie apocalypse of Deadworld Dome with Vi making her way across the wasteland with the survivors of the forest community, Beth, and Killian.
I also talk about games I like to pair with Mythic, and what I do about house ruling to make them work smoothly.
Happy adventuring :)

Last month's Mythic Magazine had something new, with a mini-RPG. It was an interesting issue considering how the two articles were so different from each other: an RPG about sci-fi heists, and ideas for running peaceful adventures.

For the next issue's Content Poll, "Mythic Mini Game" seems to be second place so in it goes! This is going to be a self contained RPG, probably 10 to 20 pages long, so it's going to be simple. The mechanical guts of it are based on One-Page Mythic GME.
For the setting, please choose one of the three ideas from the list below. I'll go with the highest voted. I'll only have this poll going for a day or so because I need to get moving on putting this together :)

I don't have a lot of news since the last Progress Journal, but I have a couple of bits to say. The art above, by the way, is by the always amazing Jorge Muñoz.
