Greetings Mythicists! I hope your month is going well, and your Player Characters don't regret purchasing that time share on Kitra Isle.
So what's been going on around here? Let me tell you!
Micro Mythic's Mighty Monsters!
Work continues on Micro Mythic, with the One-Page Location Crafter chapter done and moving on to One-Page Creature Crafter. I'm glad I decided to make this a stand-alone book as opposed to a collection of the One-Pagers from the magazine. This has given me the freedom to make changes to the rulesets, instead of having them appear exactly as they did originally. None of them have been drastically changed, but I've received enough feedback and enough time has passed that many of the existing One-Pagers have small tweaks and improvements that make them just that much better. There's also some fine-tuning involved so they all work better together, as well as sharing similar jargon and approaches.
I'm a little embarrassed that a book titled "Micro" is going to be around 200 pages long. To be fair, the actual rules only comprise 9 pages. All the rest is supporting material and examples. I just can't help myself :)
Mythic Magic
I'm working on Mythic RPG 2e's "Magic & Powers" chapter. This is adapted from Mythic Magazine #21, with changes to make it work better with combat Clashes and other general touchups. I don't want to go into too much detail with this chapter, but enough to offer a workable framework for powers in Mythic.
The Amazing Mythic App
In case you haven't checked it out recently, the Mythic GME 2e Companion App from Jason Holt Digital is more amazing than ever! Jason is doing an incredible job with it, and just keeps making it better and better with more features, fixes, and tweaks. Since I don't know how programming works, I imagine him huddled in a workshop surrounded by beakers bubbling with arcane draughts, while he labors over mysterious mystic symbols in a magical script that brings the app to life in his laboratory. And if you tell me otherwise I won't believe it!
That's about it for now! I should get moving on getting a Content Poll up before this month is over!!
Happy adventuring :)

honest Q: is the Micro Mythic book intended as a replacement to the GME.? i can't tell.

No, I wouldn't say that. It's more kind of a lighter alternative to Mythic RPG 2e. Although, everything is compatible enough that you could pull parts of Micro Mythic out and use them with MGME2e or MRPG2e, or mix and match the rules however you like.

> I imagine him huddled in a workshop surrounded by beakers bubbling with arcane draughts, while he labors over mysterious mystic symbols in a magical script that brings the app to life in his laboratory Developer here. Yep, that's exactly how we do it! All the while spellfighting recurring curses which cause our perfectly well designed code to misbehave (I can't see no other explanation than curses for those 🙃)

How many chapters would you say are left in Micro Mythics & MRPG 2E?
T
Tana Pigeon | Word Mill Games · August 12, 2025
Micro Mythic has 3 chapters left, and Mythic RPG 2e has 3 chapters remaining as well. So both are nearing the finish line. I'll still have to go through and edit and do some rewrites, plug in a few examples, and stuff like that, but that all moves a lot faster than the initial drafts.

Are you shooting for 2026 with Micro Mythic? 👀 (You've probably answered this a million times, sorry!)

I'm hoping to get Micro out by the end of the year. Ideally, both of them by then, although I expect MRPG2e to follow several months after Micro.

Fascinating stuff all around. Thanks for the update! And the app is indeed very good!
