  1. A Mythras fan, mritalian, has released the first scenario using the Mythras Imperative ORC license. 'Wasteland Rescue' is available now from DrivethruRPG. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/472803/Wasteland-Rescue-a-d100-adventure Do check out the adventure to help support the Mythras ORC community!
  2. Would we knowingly disappoint you...? 🙂
  3. The long awaited 'Book of Schemes' is now available to buy. A complete city, and inspired by the medieval city-states of the Hanseatic league, this book is not a fairy tale. It is not about heroes and heroines. It is certainly not about standing up to and overcoming evil. This book is about grey morality, personal interests and rivalry. This is Book of Schemes, a Mythras supplement to help you weave scheming and intrigue into your campaigns – and turn your players into Machiavellian masterminds. Set in the city-state of Guelden, in the lands known as Wittringia, Book of Schemes is a self-contained guide to the city, its politics, people, factions, secrets, feuds, plots and duplicities. In these pages you will find everything needed for an exciting campaign using Guelden’s streets as a backdrop. Book of Schemes also covers the cults, magic, guilds and gangs of the city, and contains a multitude of scenario ideas, and a complete introductory adventure: Chaos at the Quay. Written by Dan True, mastermind behind the Combat Training Module series, Book of Schemes is a fascinating addition to the Mythras city book range, and is easily used with, and alongside, Mythic Constantinople, Fioracitta, and the cities found in the Book of Quests. So prepare to walk the labyrinthine cobbles of Guelden… but watch your back. Treachery is only a footfall away. Print Edition (Hardback, 272 pages, Colour and B/W): $44.99 PDF: $16.99 TDM Store: https://thedesignmechanism.com/book-of-schemes-print/ Lulu: https://tinyurl.com/yck4c2dh DrivethruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/468943/Book-of-Schemes
  4. It's absolutely designed for this, and has a lot of GM guidance on running campaigns at different power levels.
  5. Rod Leary's the one you need for this. However, he's not been too well lately, so that delay any answer you're seeking.
  6. You may want to share it on the Design Mechanism's own forums and the Mythras Discord. You can find links to both on the pinned post in the Mythras sub-forum.
  7. Its an excellent shorthand. I used the same approach in an online combat yesterday, where a bunch of guards had a flat 'Guard 45%' skill for anything that a guard could be expected to perform to a reasonable degree of competence.
  8. To usher in the Year of the Dragon, we're holding a New Year sale, reducing all items bought on our webstore by 15% rom 12 midnight, 1st January, until 12 midnight on the 7th January. So if there's a book you've been holding back on, or want to make a new year gift to friends, loved ones, gaming pals, or just as a random act of kindness, the Year of the Dragon sale is the time to do it. Simply use the code Dragon2024 at checkout to claim your discount. And there'll be lots of news on TDM activities for the Year of the Dragon coming very soon. New releases, plans for various lines, and lots more to look forward to. So from all of us here at TDM: Loz, Pete, Brian, Rod and Soph, Happy 2024! May it be safe and prosperous for you all.
  9. The new, revised, expanded, ORC-licensed edition of Mythras Imperative is now available - just in time for Christmas. While the game and mechanics are fundamentally the same, we've tweaked a few rules, made errata corrections, and fully integrated rules for firearms, vehicles, new character creation options, and sample creatures (with a complete list of traits to make them worthy opponents). Most important of all, Mythras Imperative is licensed under ORC, meaning that 3rd party creators can freely use, adapt and build upon the Mythras Imperative foundation for their own unique d100 games, supplements and adventures. Combine Mythras Imperative with its sister book, Classic Fantasy Imperative, or any other ORC-licensed open gaming system. So whether you want gritty fantasy or mythic historical, Pulp-era spies or cinematic superheroes, Mythras Imperative has you covered. Simple to learn, simple to play, but with a surprising depth that is the result of many, many years of refinement. The PDF version is free to download. The Print on Demand version is $24.99 (black and white, softcover, 80 pages). A POD version for Drivethru customers will follow later. TDM Store Lulu Store DTRPG
