Mythic Game Master Emulator

A new, 2021 revised edition of this book is available.

Create dynamic, solo role-playing adventures without preparation. For use as a supplement with other systems.

This product provides the Game Master Emulation rules found in the groundbreaking Mythic Role Playing, a product that contains emulation rules and a full, universal role playing game. Mythic Game Master Emulator is for those who do not want the universal role-playing rules, but just the game master emulator at a reduced price.

In 2003 Mythic Role Playing introduced the concept of oracles, a way to play any role-playing game solo. Mythic itself acts as the Gamemaster, answering your questions and relying on logic and interpretation to move the game narrative forward while providing surprises along the way to shift the narrative.

Mythic requires very little preparation to use. Adventures are meant to be played off the cuff, with perhaps a few minutes of brainstorming to come up with the initial setup. Mythic can be played entirely solo, without a GM. You can also play games as a group, letting Mythic guide you. Or, a Gamemaster could use Mythic as an aid to lead a game with minimal preparation and be just as surprised at the progression of the game as the players are.
