Create dynamic role-playing adventures without preparation. For use as a stand-alone game or as a supplement for other systems.
Most Role-Playing Games operate under the principle that there are players and there is a Game Master. The GM prepares all the details of an adventure, and then "runs" the players through that adventure. This usually requires a great deal of preparation on the part of the GM.
Mythic is different in that it requires no preparation from the GM. Mythic 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 also be played entirely without a GM. The same mechanics in Mythic that allow a GM to run an adventure without preparation also allows a group of players to do without the GM.
In a Mythic adventure, the GM (or players sans GM) can start an evening's entertainment with about five minutes of preparation. As the adventure unfolds, the GM is just as surprised by the twists and turns as the players are.

| 5 + 5 | Doc Halloween | Mythic Role Playing. A great buy is an understatement. No GM, multiple players; No GM, one player; One GM, any number of players; Mythic, stand-alone; Mythic with other RPGs. Mythic has many uses and executes them Mythicly well. You will not be disappointed. [ Read Review ] |

| 9 / 10 | Doc Halloween | I gave it a 9 because it really does work as a way to play any role-playing game system solo. Let me reiterate, Mythic Role Playing is a complete game. You will NOT need another role-playing system to use this product. |
