MythCraft RPG hit the ground running with their Kickstarter campaign. And show no signs of slowing down on the content.

MythCraft RPG is an upcoming brand-new tabletop RPG complete with its own universe and game system. It’s brought to you by The Homebrew Network in partnership with QuasiReal Publishing. Their campaign on Kickstarter was funded in just 3 hours–and it’s easy to see why.

They are hitting stretch goals as we speak and unlocking more lineages, more classes, more occupations, and who knows what else?

Create Your Perfect Hero

MythCraft RPG isn’t based on any system you know right now. It’s brand new so it’s free to develop its own system of character creation. Characters are not just a race and class with some background flavor. In MythCraft you choose your lineage, your classes, your background, occupation, and profession, and from a ton of Talents. There are RPG staples like Human Warrior and Elf Rogue, but you can also be an Undead Witch or a Klepping (critter-folk) Tinkerer.

Heroes are more than just their race and class. Their history and backstory play just as large a role in determining who they are. MythCraft RPG places a strong emphasis on how a character got to where they are today in character creation.

As you gain character levels, you will also gain Occupation levels, to ply your craft or study of choice. They are specifically designed with roleplay elements in mind. Finally, there are real rules in place for your character’s woodcarving side hustle. Or perhaps you’ve gained Occupation levels in Aristocracy and are recognized as official nobility and might even become a fully-fledged monarch!

Action Point System

The RPG staple of one action per turn can be fairly limiting for letting players really spread their wings in terms of the exciting things they can perform, especially at higher levels. MythCraft RPG is designed around an action point system. Each turn, players gain a number of action points based on their level, stats, and even some buffs.

Simple actions will only take a point or two, but powerful spells and overwhelming attacks will require much more. Characters can save action points at the end of their turn, up to a certain limit. Saving action points allows for reactions on other players’ turns, or launching a devastating attack on your next turn.

New Magic System

Magic has many uses and can be drawn from a number of different sources. Casters and monsters can draw from one of five distinct sources of magic: Arcane, Divine, Occult, Primal, and Psionic. Each of these sources will provide different uses and abilities depending on who is wielding them and their target.

Enter the World of Ancerra of Any Age

MythCraft RPG plays with the ability to play in multiple ages, what they call Supereons. Each Supereon counts thousands of years. Within each time you’ll find different levels of magic and technology to be able to either fight with a wooden sword or take to the stars.
