I have a PDF copy of the Mythic RPG (and a softcover copy packed away somewhere - god but I need to organize and catalogue, but that's a whole other story), and the emulator is drawn from that. It's actually a set number of chapters from the full product.
I think this is something that could really work well for some out home gaming, maybe even drawing my son into it (like the Borg, I like to assimilate others when i can). I suspect it wouldn't work so well via a VTT, but that's okay. If it can handle 1 to 3 players at my kitchen table, I think we are good to go.
Way too much on my plate waiting to be read these days ;)
I'd like it if the GME's how-to text was a bit more concise, but I like the product. As a GM I've used it to generate spin-off problems, threats, opportunities, and rewards for my table-top games, and in my view it's a good tool for prep-- even if you're not using it in lieu of a live GM.
ReplyDeleteYeah Tenkar, I hear ya. I plunked down some money for the GME this weekend and have been reading it. It seems pretty cool. I'll soon see if it actually works. :)

Tenkar... No! Bad! No replacing GM's... Bad, Bad, Bad!
ReplyDeleteI've recently acquired a copy of the Mythic GM emulator myself. I'll probably end up using it to help me flesh out my Traveller/Battletech campaign setting and will use it to solo some Pendragon.
ReplyDeleteI've thought about picking this up as well. May have to add it to my next book order.
