Mythic RPG
Mythic Game Master Emulator
A new, 2021 revised edition of this book is available.
Create dynamic, solo role-playing adventures without preparation. For use as a supplement with other systems. This product provides the Game Master Emulation rules found in the groundbreaking Mythic Role Playing, a product that contains emulation rules and a full, universal role playing game. Mythic Game Master Emulator is for those who do not want the universal role-playing rules, but just the game master emulator at a reduced price. In 2003 Mythic Role Playing introduced the concept of oracles, a way to play any role-playing game solo. Mythic itself acts as the Gamemaster, answering your questions and relying on logic and interpretation to move the game narrative forward while providing surprises along the way to shift the narrative.
Mythic requires very little preparation to use. 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 be played entirely solo, without a GM. You can also play games as a group, letting Mythic guide you. Or, a Gamemaster could use Mythic as an aid to lead a game with minimal preparation and be just as surprised at the progression of the game as the players are.

GM Emulator is meant for use by role-players with a little experience under their belts and their favorite game in hand. It is not a stand-alone game. You can use it with any RPG to create a solo adventure. It does have an oracle (the Fate Chart) which will answer your questions. It has an event focus table when a random event takes place. It also has 200 keywords which will help you figure out what random event just happened. Your Dungeon Master has just been replaced by this blue book!

It's a pretty good bare-bones system for resolving simple uncertainties on how something is or what will happen next: a yes/no question or two will usually get me out of the bind. The full chaos factor rules take a bit more effort that isn't always worth it. And I wouldn't use it on its own - without a GM or another system - either way.

Fantástico sistema que te permite jugar a cualquier sistema de juego de rol en solitario. Este sistema sustituye al director de juego o game master.
Es muy efectivo a la hora de ayudar a crear puntos en tu historia y a hacerla avanzar. Incluso es útil si quieres escribir un libro, una historia, y quieres romper el bloqueo creativo.

A great tool for soloing an RPG of your choice or a rules-lite adventure you make up! Also a great tool to assist a GM/DM while running a campaign. For someone like me that can't spend weeks planning a campaign this is an invaluable tool. The artwork in the book could use a little work, I wasn't particularly fond of it... But the meat of the rules/system are good.

Strikes a near perfect balance between randomness, logic and responsibility on the player system-wise.
Can't say I thought the art was spot on, though. Without wanting to blame the artist, but a more neutral, less sexualised style would have been nice.
Still, overall perfectly matched what I was looking for.

This is THE seminal solo gaming oracle for a reason. It is greatness!
