Mythic Table Returns, Better Than Ever Before!

Regular readers might remember last November when I put up Looking For a New Virtual Table For Your Campaign? Check Out Mythic Table! In case that one slipped by (and you don't have a second to go back and catch up), Mythic Table is a virtual RPG destination that allows us to run sleek, intuitive game nights even when we all can't be around a table together.

Or, for those of us who have embraced high tech gaming, when you prefer a virtual map and display rather than doing things the old-fashioned way.

Many of us have grown used to these strange ways, though.

Mythic Table is open source, it's got some experienced professionals on the design team, and it's been growing behind the scenes. If you haven't checked it out yet, you definitely should... especially now, since they're going to start blowing up in the very near future!

Let's Kick This Party Off!

So, if Mythic Table is already out there, and already free to use, what do you get from the Mythic Table Kickstarter? Isn't this kind of campaign usually something companies do to build up finances in order to make a product in the first place?

Well, yes. But in this case we've all had a taste of what Mythic Table is capable of... now the question is what would it be capable of if we really put some gas in the tank?

Fill 'er up!

First and foremost, the Kickstarter will help Mythic Table expand the assets it already boasts, giving players and GMs alike all kinds of shiny new toys to play with! Improvements on lighting options and dice styles, doors and windows, map creation, GM control... if you can think of it, chances are the designers want to rev it up. And that is, at least in part, where support is going.

It's far from the only thing the Kickstarter will be backing, though.

In addition to tweaking all the toys, there's also plans to work on content integration (specifically with World Anvil to start, though I doubt that's where things will end), allowing GMs to import maps and campaigns, as well as binding accounts. There's even talk about creating a digital marketplace where maps for Mythic Table can be bought and sold, giving players and GMs alike access to unique items that are designed to run smoothly on this platform.

That's a lot... but if action economy has taught us anything it's that when you have enough people all working together, it's amazing the things you can accomplish!

Speaking of New Releases...

While we're on the subject of fun new things you should keep an eye on, the second supplement for my own fantasy RPG setting just dropped a little bit ago! Moüd: The City of Bones is available for both Pathfinder Classic as well as Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, and you can either fold it into your existing RPG setting, or use it as part of the ever-growing amount of stuff available for Sundara: Dawn of a New Age.

I'll go more in-depth on what makes this new location special and unique later, just wanted to take a second to mention it!

Looking For a New Virtual Table For Your Campaign? Check Out Mythic Table!

In a post-Covid-19 world, online gaming has become more common than ever before. Even diehard resisters who said they would wait it out to meet around a table again have at least taken a stab at making Discord and Roll 20 work for them. Some brave folks have even tried Astral, the digital tabletop platform you find on Drive Thru RPG if you scroll down and take a look at the left-hand column.

Chances are good that your group has already fallen into a rhythm by now, and you've found a platform that you can use, even if you don't particularly love it. However, it is the nature of tabletop gamers to always keep our ears open when looking for a game that offers us something our current setup doesn't have. Especially if it's free.

Which is why you should take a moment to check out Mythic Table.

Unleashing the potential of the imagination!

What is Mythic Table?

The elevator pitch is that Mythic Table is an online virtual tabletop that is completely free to use, and which has been created by a team of industry veterans who want to make sure players have a platform that will let them enjoy their games to the fullest.

There is more to Mythic Table than that, though. Because while it's a customizable platform you can use to build and create your ideal online campaign, it's also open source! New features are always being added, and the platform itself can handle math, modifier tracking, lighting, and all those other pesky details that can be a pain in the butt when you're running your game.

Math, the downfall of most GMs.

While an argument could be made that Mythic Table is just another virtual gaming portal, it is extremely sleek, stylish, and pretty user friendly for a portal that's free. The fact that it's funded by the audience, and that there are already announcements for new and interesting features is certainly enough to make checking it out worth your time.

So follow Mythic Table on Facebook, and subscribe to their YouTube channel where you can listen to their town halls about the platform, and what they expect to do with it! If you like what you see and want to help support them, check out their Patreon page as well! Also, there's a special release coming on the 21st of this month, which I'll be adding a link for once it's ready, so be sure to check back for that this weekend!

 

Also, in case you missed it, I recently added 5 Tips For Playing Better Vigilantes to my ongoing 5 Tips series. So stop in to check that out if you get a moment!
