Mythic Battles: The Roleplaying Game

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/monolith-board-games-sarl/mythic-battles—the-roleplaying-game

Welcome to the Mythic Battles Roleplaying Game.

Based on the acclaimed board games, this tabletop RPG invites you to become a divine Champion fighting for survival in the ruins of broken worlds.

Two Massive Settings and Metaplots. One Lethal Engine.

The Mythicverse plunges you into a brutal, alternative timeline of the great myths, where the gods are desperate and humanity is on the brink of extinction:

Pantheon: Olympus has fallen. The devastating war between the Gods and the Titans has left Greece bleeding. As survivors cower in the ruins, a new supernatural threat emerges: the Putrescence. This mysterious, deadly rot is slowly suffocating the cosmos. Dive into the political intrigues of weakened deities and stop the Titans from corrupting what is left of the world.

Ragnarรถk: The prophecies lied. The Fimbulwinter is endless and the sun is dying. The Bifrost has been destroyed, isolating Midgard and freezing the war in a bitter stalemate. As the dark Sattmala Coven awakens and the followers of Surt and Fenrir seek to break the Titans’ chains, you stand as the last beacon of hope in a frozen land plunged into shadow.

Powered by a highly tactical, player-facing system where the GM never rolls, you must manage your vital resources and survive the brutal death spiral to forge your legend.

Fully written, beautifully illustrated, and shipping in less than a year.

Retweet like tweets are still a thing! Check out Mythic Battles: The RPG!

Need Maps? Of course you do! Last Few Days!

500+ backers! Over 550% Funded! Two stretch goals down!

Hello Everyone,

We hope you are all doing well.

We just wanted to let you know that the last few days of the campaign are upon us.

HandyMaps Dungeons, Caves & Strange Locales

So, we have currently funded a set of twenty four (24), double-sided A5 cards showing beautifully illustrated dungeons, caves and strange locales for fantasy-themed games. The cards can be used as valuable tools for game planning by Game Masters.

Whilst there are 24 cards, they detail a total of 60 locations for you to populate and your players to explore.

The cards will be double-sided in a handy A5 size (210mm high x 148mm wide OR 8.27″ high x 5.83″ wide) from 350gsm uncoated card stock (giving a nice matt finish, suitable for ink and pencil marking).

Each side will be professionally digitally printed on a parchment style background.

The maps will all have a basic grid and minimal text labels (generally kept to elevation marks, stairs/slope directions, secret doors, etc), but NO title, room numbers, or compass allowing Game Masters to use them as they need for their campaigns.

Also, a great opportunity to pick up previous HandyMaps too!

Check out some screengrabs of the new additions:
