Mythic Update, April 2026
Greetings Mythicists! I hope all is well with you :) Here's an update of things going on for you to chew on.
Mythic Magazine Compilation #9 Print Almost Ready!
I've been reviewing proofing copies of Compilation #9, and they are almost ready to be released! The book will be available in POD format on DriveThruRPG and at Amazon.
Mythic Magazine #64 Gets Crafty
Issue #64 of Mythic Magazine is out, featuring an article about creative ways to combine The Adventure Crafter with Mythic, and thoughts on how to keep multiple (and many!) solo adventures all going at the same time.
The issue is available now through Patreon membership and from DriveThruRPG :)
Smile For The Camera
The artwork above, by the ever-amazing Jorge Muñoz, is fresh from his drawing board. I haven't decided how to use it yet. I love his images like this where you can't quite tell what's going on, but it suggests lots of possibilities.
If you're struck with inspiration for a context or example for this image, please spill it in the comments below!
Happy adventuring!

This thread has made me curious. Which Crafter would one use for crafting dimensions for multiversal games?
That's a good question. It's a topic that's been touched on in a couple issues of Mythic Magazine. Issue #15 has "Randomized Worlds Generation", and #38 has "Solo Setting & World Creation System". To be honest though, I don't think either one of those directly addresses a multiversal mode. There's no "Alternate Dimension Crafter". There should be. I'm going to add that to the content poll list.
She seems curious about the sudden shift from bustling small town to the gloomy, personless place she is now. I can picture this as a scene from a day in the life of an accidental dimension hopper.
Yes :) After all, accidental dimension hopping is the best kind of dimension hopping.
While working at the local historical society on a project, you and your friend discover an old camera. It turns out it belonged to someone from the town, a resident who went missing decades ago. After scouring old news articles and handwritten journals and piecing together clues, you learn that person believed the camera had the ability to transport anyone it photographs to a different place or time. Reluctantly, your friend agrees to an experiment, preparing to photograph you on the exact same windy street corner where the resident was last seen before disappearing all those years ago. Say "cheese"!
Oohh, I love this :) It has a Stephen King feel to it. I love that so many of you are getting a multiverse impression from this image.
An episode for Mythic Shiver
The artsy weird-kid outcast who's into retro photography is about to find herself pulled into a weird and wild multiversal adventure.
This is along the lines of my first impression too. The art feels like the launching point for something very strange about to happen.
As someone who has yet to see twin peaks, that art gives me twin peaks vibes.
Right? It did for me too. There's that vacant but wondering expression on her face, the impression of an isolated small town, and the thing in her hands that may be a camera but also may be something else. It all adds up to "odd mystery box".
The small town detective is about to get the evidence she needs to solve the case, but things suddenly take a turn for the weird. The camera lowers as her mind tries to understand if what she is seeing is actual reality.
I love it when "... things suddenly take a turn for the weird." That's my solo rpg happy place :)
