Alex Greene Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I found myself looking at, and buying, Mythras from DriveThruRPG recently. It's got many things that Mongoose's Legend does not have, but more importantly - new material is being published for it. I like what I see here, and I'm going to dust off some of the older articles I published here for that other d100 system, meticulously retool them to make full use of Mythras' rules, and relaunch them for Mythras. Possibly as Abbott & Greene articles on DriveThruRPG. And then I think I'll have to start posting new material for Mythras in 2017. 8 Quote Author of Fioracitta for Mythras and the 2d6 SFRPG setting of Castrobancla.

And while you are at it, you could take a close look at M-Space and carry over to it some of the ideas which do not fit well into the Travellerverse ... 2 Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Done. M-Space and Mythras on my tablet. A good investment. Might as well. 3 Quote Author of Fioracitta for Mythras and the 2d6 SFRPG setting of Castrobancla.

TrippyHippy Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) It would be interesting to see the various strands of Mongoose's old RuneQuest open license convalescing into one source - Mythras one would assume - now that the RuneQuest license has gone back home to Chaosium and Glorantha. Not sure it will happen but, if some older written work is currently doing nothing as it is, why not? I mean, companies like to hold on to their brands, but if it merely means talking to Pete & Loz and then slapping a label on saying 'Compatible with Mythras', then you've opened up a new market all of sudden. So yep, good to see Alex bringing something into the collective. Looking forward to it. Lets see some more. Edited January 2, 2017 by TrippyHippy Quote

In some places it certainly feels quite different from the Glorantha presented in the RQ2 supplements and in the G2G, but I guess it was set in a significantly earlier period of Glorantha's history. I remember that I quite liked the Cults Book, the Races books, and the Pavis Rises book.

Jeff Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 None of MRQ is canon except either accidentally or because the book relies on some other text that is canon. Quote

Alex Greene Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 So while things are brewing at this moment, I am familiarising myself with the Mythras and M-Space core rulebooks. Starting as I mean to go on. With luck, the next few months ahead should be fun. Quote Author of Fioracitta for Mythras and the 2d6 SFRPG setting of Castrobancla.
Matt_E Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Realize that you need a license from TDM to publish Mythras stuff. If you have not already, talk to Loz or Pete, I suggest. 1 Quote Our latest Horror Fantasy adventure has arrived. Check out Old Bones Publishing on DriveThruRPG.com!
