Mythic Game Master Emulator

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

NOTE: This book provides the Game Master Emulation rules found in Mythic, which contains emulation rules and a full, universal role playing game. This PDF and print product has been updated in 2021 with new artwork.

Mythic Role-Playing brought true, solo play to the world of tabletop role-playing in 2003, kicking off a solo revolution that continues today. The blue book Mythic Game Master Emulator contains the ground-breaking solo emulation rules from the Mythic red book, giving you everything you need to play any RPG system without a Gamemaster.

Mythic adventures are meant to be played off the cuff, with perhaps a few minutes of brainstorming to come up with the initial setup. Through a Yes/No oracle system, Mythic guides you through your adventure as you test your expectations. A Random Event mechanic throws narrative curve balls at you, and the Chaos Factor keeps tilting the story throughout your adventure to change up the pace.

The Mythic system is supported through additional rulebooks that add more options to your solo play, as well as Mythic Magazine bringing fresh ideas and rules monthly. Mythic has a fanbase spanning two decades, creating a wide and diverse community you can draw more ideas and inspiration from.

Welcome to true solo role-playing. Happy adventuring!

:-( Wish I'd known there was a 2nd Ed before I bought the First Ed. Might be worth noting that in the product description (just saw your comment below Tana)
First Ed is great tho :)

(PS. Typo on p11/Determine probability: ... choas... shoud be chaos.)

Hi there, Can I use Mythic to play an existing Advanced D&D or 5th edition D&D campaign solo?
Sorry if this question is stupid. I'm having trouble visualizing how this would work. Haven't
played D&D since the 1980s.

Hi David :)

Yes, you can. There is a second edition of Mythic GME available on DriveThru that I would suggest. It has a section that specifically addresses playing solo in existing, published adventures with advice on how best to make it work.

First-timer here... To start playing, do I need the blue book or the red book? Thanks!

Hi Tom :)

It depends on what you want to do. The GME rules are just the emulation rules, so those are the rules for solo and GM-less play. The red book also has those rules in it, but it also has the full RPG rules. So, if you just want the emulator rules to use with other games, then the blue book would be the route to go. Please keep in mind also that I just released a second edition of the blue book, so there is an updated version. What I'm saying here applies to that one too.

If you want the RPG system that goes with the emulator rules, then the red book is the way to go.

Thanks for clearing that up! Yes, I'm looking to play GM-less so I looks like it's the blue book for me. Thanks again!

Is there any update already on when version 2 of the emulator will be released? On another post you talked about the end of the year, is this still the planned date?

Thank you for asking :) The book has entered its final editing phase and will be out in January. I was originally hoping to get it out by the end of the year, but it's going to go a few weeks beyond that. It'll first be made available as a PDF followed by the print version a month or so later.

Why no HARDCOVER COLOR print book?

Hi Keith, thanks for the question :) A hardcover color version is in the works and should be added to the list of options soon. The proofing copy had some problems that needed fixing which is why the softcover color version got out there first.

Awesome to hear! Of course I already have the physical books, albeit the old version, so naturally I want the physical versions with the new artwork as well! I appreciate the heads up as I’d rather wait a bit longer and get the hardcover versions. Thank you for all of your amazing products!

So, I have bought the book and also the deck. Love them both. Now all I need from you is an app. :)
Seriously, though, if you ever do make an app, that would be amazing, as it would make gaming on the go even more convenient.

Hi Craig, thank you for the kind words :) There are various free apps out there, on a variety of platforms, made by fans that you would probably find useful. On my publisher website you can find links to online Mythic groups where you can learn more about them, as the members in those groups can offer good guidance in locating the right one.

Hello, first, just wanna say that I looove this book and the system it presents!
Second, i,ve sent a years or so ago, a message on this book website contact form, asking a hypothetical question to the author but never got any replies so I will just try it again here. If its not the place so, please, sorry to bother and please delete the message.
My question is this:
IF someone wants to implement software based on the Myth Game Master Emulator in order to automate the system, adding or removing some features, with the intention to speed up the game for the player, with credits do the author of this book, would this be a copyright/legal issue?
I did not found this anywhere on the book.
Thanks for the amazing work done with love.

There are some minor text changes on the credits page, but primarily it's just new art. No rules or mechanics changes have been made.

Hmmm I assume the removal of PoD is due to the artwork update. Hopefully it comes back or I get it for Christmas ;)

Hi Benjamin. Yes, you're correct, I had to remove the PoD because that file no longer corresponds to the PDF file. It's going to take me some weeks to get PoD back, mainly from awaiting physical proof copies from the printer. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I'll try to have it back up as soon as possible.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
