Over at Bundle of Holding, we have a terrific deal for Mythras. The Starter Collection, consisting of the Mythras core rules, Mythras Imperative, Classic Fantasy, and no less than three superb scenarios, is just $14.95 - one third of what you'd pay for the PDFs separately. There's no question that it's a great deal. But why Mythras? What sets it apart from other game systems?
First - it's complete. Everything in one book. Characters to cults; magic to monsters. Everything works together logically, sensibly, elegantly.
Second - it's intuitive. Take a pair of percentile dice, roll equal to or under your skill, and that's it. Okay; there's a bit more to it than that, but at it's heart, that's really what it's about. Roll under.
Third - it's inventive. The Mythras combat system makes every combat encounter a series of tactical options. This isn't about whittling down Hit Points; it's about finding the best ways to use a series of manoeuvres and options to deny your opponent the chance to retaliate. Plus, the core rules include five very different magic systems: Folk Magic (for simple cantrips); Animism (for spirit walking and shamanism), Mysticism (for enlightenment and truly pushing one's physical boundaries); Sorcery (for manipulating the fabric of reality); and Theism (for channeling the miraculous powers of the gods).
Fourth - it's well supported. The Starter Collection gives you everything you need for fantasy roleplaying, but it also gives you a Science Fiction scenario with A Gift from Shamash; a Sword & Sorcery scenario with Xamoxis' Cleansing; and a Dark Fantasy scenario with Madness & Other Colours. And, if you're a fan of dungeoneering and Old School underground adventure, the Classic Fantasy supplement gives you everything to replicate the classic, Golden Days of roleplaying effortlessly.
Also, the PDFs are DRM free, so you can have them on your PC or Mac, tablet, or Smart Phone. Print out the bits you need, and bookmark the bits you simply want to refer to.
And if you opt in for the Bonus Collection, we take you into the realms of Mythic Britain and Mythic Rome, two critically acclaimed fantasy historical supplements packed-full of detail, ideas, and adventure, with a solid historical base. If you've ever wanted to game in the Dark Ages, or Rome at the height of the Republic, then these supplements are for you. Plus, they're fully compatible - so why not see how a Roman legion fares against the fierce Britons and the enigmatic, animistic druids?
But the Bonus Collection doesn't end there: you also get three modules for Classic Fantasy! The Terror of Ettinmarsh, These Violent Delights, and Tomb of the Mad Wizard. Traditional dungeon and wilderness crawls filled with monsters, magic items, and wilderness encounters.
