Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition (Mythic Role Playing And Game Master Emulator Series)

This book is even more amazing than I thought it would be! I first discovered it on an app. When I realized I that I needed the book to understand the app, I paid a pretty hefty price for it. (The app was just too cool, and I knew the book would be even more useful!) I've been reading the book cover to cover, and I've found a lot of really useful tips for beginners (me) and tons of charts and lists. That's right up my alley, so I'm pretty happy. Can't wait to put it into practice! I'm only half-way through the book (minus the stuff in the back about variations), and I'm itching to play already. I'm forcing myself to read the necessary stuff before I get started though. :)

I've been using Mythic GME in digital since 2018, and I got my printed copy of the original blue edition around late 2019. That first edition was groundbreaking, game-wise; however, the design of the book left lots to be desired (especially in the graphics aspect). A second edition was much needed, and I'm glad it finally happened! This second edition has been several years in the making, and now that I've finally got my copy, I can say it's been totally worth the wait. Tana Pigeon did an excellent job both updating and upgrading the original book. This new hardcover version is almost four times the size of the original one, all pages come in full-color, the graphics are consistent and in an awesome modern style, and the mechanics are fully functional and exciting to use. If you love RPGs, this is a great tool to have. If you love solo RPGs, then Mythic GME 2E is a must. Do I recommend getting a copy? Definitely yes!

MGME2e is an excellent tool for game mastering. While the book was designed to be used in place of a traditional GM, it also can serve quite ably as co-GM or writing aid. Much of the advice and structure is aimed at filling the role a traditional GM serves, though it does require some interpretation by the player - tables of evocative words are used to generate descriptive phrases, which you then can use the current context or situation to flesh out into surprise reveals or clever plot twists. Much of the 'emulation' mentioned in the title is done by an oracle dice roll - a d% table of weighted yes/no (or very yes/ very no) answers to a question you ask it. It also shows you how to create lists to keep the narrative straight, keep track of persistent NPC's actions, and ensure recurring villains actually return - sometimes when you least expect it! Advice is also given on how you can play through published adventures by yourself, or how to use it in a group setting to drive ongoing campaigns with no single game master. As a 'forever GM' myself, I've found it invaluable to put me in the player's seat and enjoy my own stories. Highly recommended!

I really love this book. If you're into RPGs it's great for a DM who may want some randomness in his/her game.

It’s not easy to read, you need to study it. But after that, pretty easy to use. To point out for future editions, really lacks side marks for chapters, like it made, for example, in Tiny Cthulhu, or dictionaries. To navigate fast, you’ll need to make stickers, but its not looks nice. Yes, you have rules Summary and all lists at the end, but adding side marks on page will do better, and its not too complicated to add, there are empty space on the sides of pages.

Super fun Solo RPG emulator book! I have really enjoyed learning the system, and have been planning my campaign! Its got literally anything you could think you’d need and the instructions are easy to follow.

The best product for solo role playing games. Great for fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, or any other genre you want to play in. Also great for creative writing. Delivery of my hard cover book was excellent. Book was packed in a box with great care and delivered to me undamaged. I say that because I often read comments complaining about damage to books from Amazon. I'm pleased that I had no such problems.

I don't get a whole lot of time alone, and I have a vast collection of RPG games that I want to try, but my time is limited, and I don't always want to get a huge group together. I am also a recording hip hop artist. How is this related you ask? I started a solo campaign of Star wars RPG using this book as the GM. I had a blast, and it really helped warm up my brain for writing lyrics as well. Honestly it has had a fascinating effect on me. Do not be turned away by the seemingly complex rules. They couldn't be easier to learn, and work fluidly. I had a few questions that I posted on reddit, and the writer actually reached out to help me out!

I love this book. I can't say enough good things about it. Thanks so much to Tana for putting this together. I'm not a natural Dungeon Master, but this book automatically increases your ability to GM and to create such fun fantastic stories. I definitely recommend buying this asap if you want to use your ttrpg books more often. One thing that sucked, and this is an Amazon thing: When I ordered the hard cover from Amazon, it came with a water or oil mark on the first page, a scratch on the cover and scrunched corners at the bottom of the book. It's not what you want to see when you spend this kind of money on a book.

I've been a role player for forty odd years and attempted some solo rules from time with little success. This system is really what I wanted to create and works well with a lot of systems (certainly all of those in my bookshelf) but after a lot of experimenting I found the most ideal one to be the mythic system itself. As a solo player you have only yourself to please, you really don't need all that complex mathematical formulae to justify a result. Easy, simple and flowing is best. After all you are making stories and prompting your imagination to do this and if you are a role player at heart you have a good imagination anyway. Thank you Mythic, a fine product indeed. Keep up the good work!

Sauber aufgearbeitet, sauber strukturiert und voller Ideen und Beispiele.

one of my most used books, be it for use with ttrpg's both solo aswell with others but also for typing out story's or even as inspiration. Blends perfectly when combining this with The Adventure Crafter.

Blast through the book and then you don't need it much other than reference tables after that. The system is a good meta tool when solo ttrpg-ing and can be used entirely on it's own or in conjunction with another system. Not just good for GMing, it's good for flowing through a solo game without getting bogged down in the rules you are not sure about. Not learned all of a ttrpg but still wanna use it? Just use Mythic whenever you don't know what to do with the other system, just gotta be careful to make yourself learn the other system properly or you might become a lazy GM if/when you play with other people. The Good quality hard cover, pretty good design although its probably more wordy than it needs to be to flesh out the book and make you feel you are buying more than you are. Don't think wordy books are too much of an issue with ttrpg geeks though!
