  • Thanks for Making this

    I am intrigued by this system but it will take me a while to navigate the rule book enough to run the game. I have never played or run a d100/Runequest/Cthulhu game and Mythras brought me into reading around the system. It’s so great to have dedicated people like Inwils putting their precious time into making this kind of resource for people like me. Thanks!

  • Wonderful mix of useful and entertaining.

    Great podcast for a very great game that doesn’t get half the recognition it deserves. Inwils (and guests) does a great job of discussing game topics, delivering news updates and sharing enthusiasm.

  • At last!

    A necessity for anyone interested in a d100-based approach and a much needed tonic for those of us enamored by or wholly preoccupied with The Design Mechanism’s excellent Mythras RPG system.

    I am tuned in and await the next dispatch!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1.71 - Creating a Sci-Fi campaign in easy steps!
Q: How should I handle technology and space travel to avoid derailing the game?
Use technology as a plot driver but plan for failures or limitations to create challenges; consider universal translators, fuel logistics, jump gates, and the reliability of starship systems to generate tension and opportunities for problem-solving.
1.71 - Creating a Sci-Fi campaign in easy steps!
Q: How should I think about scale and scope in a sci‑fi campaign?
Treat the galaxy as something you build up from a starting point in a single system or planet, then expand as needed; use micro-to-macro framing to keep the campaign navigable while still offering grand adventures.
1.71 - Creating a Sci-Fi campaign in easy steps!
Q: What style of science fiction should I pick to anchor my campaign?
Pick a subgenre first (space opera, cyberpunk, hard sci‑fi, etc.) and let that choice drive the tone, setting scale, and character expectations; the style you choose will influence how you layer technology, politics, and exploration.
1.77 - Casting and Creating Sorcery and Sorcerers
Q: What makes casting and maintaining spells feel different in Mythras compared to other systems?
Spells have a base duration that can extend in combat, and shaping points allow iterative customization; you must manage points for the spell, the shaping, and potential combinations, which can slow down casting but adds strategic depth.
1.77 - Casting and Creating Sorcery and Sorcerers
Q: How does Mythras sorcery differ from typical fantasy magic in other games?
Sorcery is non‑Vancian and runs off magic points with a shaping system that lets you construct a spell on the fly, tuning range, targets, duration, and other components instead of using fixed stat blocks.
