Amazing extension to an amazing system. Take a look at the vampire or werewolf class. You'll find something you like.

Well written and heartwarming book filled with lore and mechanics for adventures with familiars in a mystical realm filled with both wonder and danger. An excellent resource for any D&D fan looking to run adventures for the young, or the young at heart.

Extremely cute! I love the variety of the critters, especially how they're designed to be friends, not combatants

An excellent monster guide from my point of view, because it's different from the classics. Lots of monster variants or original monsters. I also really like the presentation of the statblocks and the description of the possible actions in a round. The illustrations are decent, mixing black and white, color, or even sepia. We would have liked full color, but it's okay. A good, essential compendium for Mythcraft and pleasant to consult.

A good game master's guide. Solid and useful. The advice is certainly classic but perfectly fits the spirit of the Mythcraft system. Tables help with creating NPCs or game campaigns. The section on combat is useful without being overwhelming. On the other hand, the section on the monster laboratory is very good. The book is airy, well-written, concise, and quite well structured. The chronology of the four periods of SUPEREONS really makes you want to know more and perhaps have a supplement for each EONS.

Mythcraft keeps the spirit of d20, but opens the windows wide to free roleplayers. It breaks the links between certain "classic" notions to allow more creative flexibility. It also simplifies character progression, makes hit points autonomous, offers hundreds of well-thought-out talents allowing a wide creative range. Only the combat rules remain wisely classic. Too bad there is no optional rule to speed up combat. At a high level, we partly find the pitfall of this kind of system: sometimes too long combats. A pitfall that is quite easy, with house rules, to overcome. With its three books, Mythcraft is a real breath of fresh air and represents what I expected for this type of "crunchy epic fantasy" system. In addition, its universe seems very interesting with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, we only see a small part of it through the three books. For example, the pantheon of gods is impressive with enormous potential for mythical stories. Likewise, the peoples and the chronology of the history of Ancerra make you want to know more. A large and beautiful toolbox, well laid out, correctly illustrated, accessible, precise and relatively concise to allow you to set up quick sessions for very long roleplaying campaigns. A BEST OF!

I really like the info graphics included, easy to see what's being related. Also, like how it's lay out. Artwork is appealing and sets the right tone. Rules are well defined and explained in straight forward manner. I would have liked to have seen more enemies that demonstrated some of the conditions that were included in the demo.

The standouts of Mythcraft are the deathpoint system allowing character to really fight to the end, and how it has much more depth than 5E but still is fairly simple and intuitive to pick up!

I like how it goes over the basics of the game but I feel it needs more of a encounter to help show off the combat for both players and mcs to learn the game more unless I over looked it

Okay! So I love mythcraft, I’ve played a one shot here and there and am doing a small adventure right now and I actually love it! Lots of options, pretty easy to follow especially if you come from dnd 5e! My biggest problem is I feel like character creation can feel a little convoluted but I’ve also only ever played on vtt systems that hadn’t quite been built to support it. So that’s not even really a problem with the game itself but more so just me as a player lol, but the pay off is every character feels distinct and unique so it’s not really that much of a detraction. But once to get the ball rolling it’s actually super fun.

I’m hoping the new Kickstarter will offer some better/easier to understand sheets once they get some full integration into r20 and foundry at the very least. Overall a very fun game and pretty easy to pick up and play overall.

A really well done demo that gives a great example of one of the two major elements that makes Mythcraft a unique and dynamic system. You can watch Youtube videos and read summaries of how Mythcraft's Action Point system is different from other TTRPGs but this demo really shows how unique it is and how smoothly it runs. It also supplies some diverse characters for the demo so you can see how APs effect different weapons, talents, and especially magic. It is a great system that really shines in actual use, and a demo like this is a nice way to do that. Highly recommended way to try out the system before moving on to the core book, where you can learn about the other major unique element of the system: character creation/progression.

MythCraft the TTRPG is something unique among most other "D&D-like" games out there. Not only does the game have great diversity of choice, but the game sets itself apart by using an action point system that leads to tactical and a level of risk and reward style of play few it any other TTRPGs can muster. While the game is certainly a bit more complex than D&D 5e or other stripped down games, once you have the time to read and work through the book it becomes second nature and flows despite the complex look of it all. Will more stats than most games yet few are ever considered "dump stats", a robust skill system, the aforementioned action points, and even the lineage system, the game leads itself to bringing imagination to life. While I will say the first printing of the game can be a bit to digest, the upcoming reforged edition looks to both streamline the reading but also make the book flow better players both new and old. While not perfect, and nothing really is, the game gives the players choice and agency over their character in ways few if any other TTRPGs can, awakening the imagination and leading to some truly unique builds. And sure, you can take my review as something akin to being partial to the system, I challenge you to put my thoughts aside should you believe that and do some research on your own. Not every game or TTRPG is for everyone, but I have found few people that once they have had time to digest and get some explanation on the systems that will turn the system away. Give it a shot and you should see what I mean, especially when the reforged edition comes out after the BackerKit closes out later this month (January,2025).

MythCraft is by far my favourite TTRPG system that I have tried over 25+ years of gaming. It's got just the right amount of crunch with all the inuitive features you might need. Want character creation to include meaningful choices beyond first level? MythCraft is the system for you! Seriously, I sound like I'm being paid right now, but I promise you I am the one paying them for the privilege of using this system.

Bien qu'il soit en Anglais, j'ai tout de même acheté ce jeu suite à la recommandation d'un ami qui avait backé la version initiale ! Il est donc récent (1ère version fin 2023) mais il se démarque des autres par son système qui se veut riche. Une campagne est actuellement en cours pour sortir une version améliorée incluant les correctifs mais aussi de nouvelles options. Le Wiki proposé est un SRD entièrement gratuit, ce qui est toujours bon pour notre porte-monnaie ... Les options de création de personnages sont multiples (j'ai mis le terme anglophone du jeu) :

lineages (choix de départ) : plusieurs choix variés qui vous permettent de sortir des habituels humains, elfes, nains pour choisir golem, plusieurs anthropomorphes et même engeance de démon ou parasités par un métal alien ...

background (choix de départ) : cela reflète votre historique de base parmi plusieurs grands groupes : de l'orphelin au noble en passant le cultivé ou bien le religieux.

profession (choix de départ puis évolution ou nouveau choix au fil des aventures) : ce choix de carrière va déterminer certaines possibilités RP auxquelles vous aurez accès.

Il existe aussi l'occupation qui serait plutôt le nom que vous définiriez pour votre métier mais qui est un élément au même titre que votre nom et ne sert qu'à mieux définir votre personnage.

et enfin talents (plus de 2000 à date) : cela regroupe l'ensemble des capacités que vous allez acquérir pendant votre progression de niveau (de 1 à 30). La progression par talent peut se faire au sein de classe ou bien vous pouvez progresser sans jamais en choisir, que ce soit en vous focalisant sur un des 5 types de magie (ou prendre un peu de tous) ou bien en diversifiant vos compétences voire en choisissant des options pour les combats.

Les tours de combat se déroulent en comptant des Points d'Actions ou chaque action a son propre coût (de 1 à 3 pour les plus courantes mais certaines en demandent 0 ou bien plus de 4).

Côté Maitre du Jeu, il existe un bestiaire riche et en pleine expansion.

Mythcraft is a wonderful TTRPG. By far one of the easiest to understand and ready to play TTRPGs that I have played thus far. No pervious knowledge required to have a wonderful time!
