System specific is better. Most things don’t need to be explicitly converted and a good DM/Director can do it on the fly. If the deep details matter then captuuring them in a specific system and expecting conversion is better than just omitting them.

Mythmaster version 2.5.4 is live.

The update clarifies & simplifies many rules for high-level play based on recent playtests. Also lots of behind the scenes work to move baked html data to JS objects to pave the way for major improvements to the character generator.

It’s hard.

I promise you it would be less fun, less motivating, less interesting if it was easy.

Keep doing hard stuff.

The Quickstart ended up being too long to be ‘quick’ so my plan for the fall is to make another, quicker QuickStart and move the current ions into a new Adventures section of the site. I hope by next year to move out of Beta and into full production of adventure content.

Yes! The QuickStart Adventure is an urgent quest to contain a ghoul outbreak, but also a mystery about the imperial past of the region, family politics & secrets hidden for generations. Should be easily playable in other systems as well! #ttrpg

Currently moving all economy tables for weapons, armour, equipment, scrolls, potions and other stuff from HTML to JavaScript in order to expand the functionality of the Character Generator tool. #ttrpg

The Canada Day 2025 Update is live!

Major tuning pass on high level spells & creatures based on months of playtest.

The world of Tear, with 18 species (mostly) harmoniously integrated, depicts hereditary wealth & power as unsustainable. Species-centric empires mostly failed. The Quickstart adventure is themed around discrimination, corruption and cover-ups (and a lot of ghouls). Check it out, it's FREE!

Replace ‘98 with ‘88, and BGs five discs for Ultima V’s four (PC) and I’m with you!

Mythmaster version 2.5.2 is now live.

A small update to future-proof the character porting tool, and also a revision and clarification that the open licensing terms are irrevocable. That means any content you make using the game is yours, forever.

The game is free at www.mythmasterRPG.com

Bestiaries are a slippery slope. I ended up buying ALL 8(9?) Pathfinder bestiaries for my son over the years. He is now a living encyclopedia of imaginary monsters. It’s amazing.

No. That’s a multiplication. So if skill is 12, 3(Sk)h is 36 hexes or 4(Sk)h is 48 hexes.

The 2.5.1 update to Mythmaster RPG is now available on the site.

Mythmaster is a fully-featured, fantasy tabletop RPG that is free for all! Check it out now at www.MythmasterRPG.com

I had a months long campaign, where one of the players was Fated To Die in an epic battle defending a city against a dragon, fall apart at the critical moment when the dragon crit failed its breath attack, choked, and then suffer multiple crits from other players and died. Was still epic though.

The Mythmaster 2.5 Update is now live.

The April Tools Day Update (not a joke) includes a major refactoring of the Character Generator so you can import characters from 2.4 to 2.5 with a single click. No more hot fixes!

Also, added 18 totally new spells!

Mythmaster has a creature called a Somnivore that feeds by draining the victims derivatives during sleep. They can prey on people for many nights, and their special abilities make them hard to find and root out.
