Can I get an some opinions on something? Reviewing my character, I just noticed that Saving Shield feat and the mythic ability Sudden Block (scroll down to the 4th heading past the Guardian's tier table) are awfully redundant. Should I think about replacing one of them (with GM approval, of course) before gameplay starts?

A few house rules for play...
An easy example is opening a stuck door. If 3 people are trying, they all make checks and the best is primary, with everybody else adding +2 if they succeed DC 10. I find it annoying having to declare that the fighter with the +3 Str bonus is primary, he rolls a 2' and the wizard with -1 penalty rolls a 20, and you could have gotten the door open.
There are probably others that will come to mind as we get going.

Feel free to replace anything build-wise. Now's the time. :)
Speaking from my limited personal experience playing mythic, Absorb Blow is an awesome ability. I'd keep the feat, and switch to that ability.

Nazard here. Please put hit points, AC (all 3), CMD, and saves into the gender and race lines of your profile (creating what's known as the status line). If you don't know how to do that, check out this example profile.
Please also include current statuses or spell effects here, like shaken or mage armour.

Concerning maps and combat, I like to use ditzie, which is an online tabletop that anybody with the link can edit. Its only downsides are that multiple players can attempt to edit the map at the same time as each other (minor problem) and that while you can view the maps from tablets and smart phones, you can't manipulate them. I would use Google docs for this, but my work computer blocks attempts to upload things to Google docs.
How it works is you go to the link, move your character, then hit the enter key. Once your browser has calculated the new url, you copy and paste it into your post as a link.
Give it a try, moving your token from one green box to the other, hit enter, and paste the link for the next person to use. Always use the most recent link.

That's one of the things I was considering. Thanks.

one more thing I changed my avatar pic to better match Daniel, I couldn't find anything that matched what I was going for though. just swap the hair to black.

Where do I find mythic HP? I think I looked over that and can't find it.

I think I would like to get my legendary Item at MT2 since then it can be gotten through RP. Makes it more memorable for me. :D

also, I buggered up a bit on my sheet as I was looking over it over several days and forgot precise shot was a -not allowed to swap out- feat haha, gotta change it back to precise shot and take a different mythic power, as the one I took does nothing for me yet.

It's so helpful that you're all jumping at the carrot without me even having to produce the stick. On the one hand, players know what they're signing up for, and so should jump at the adventure, but on the other hand, I've seen it time and time again that players insist every possible motivation be justified for why they'd go on the adventure at all.
It's time to go save the village from goblins! Kill goblins!
But my character likes goblins and thinks killing is wrong!
But you knew the adventure would be about killing goblins. Why did you design a character that only wants to protect them?
It's called "role-playing"! Ever heard of it?
Eye roll...
Of course, the mythic goosing here certainly helps encourage everybody to hop on board. More clarification is coming, this is still all just the introduction to the campaign.

For some reason, I'm getting a weird error when I try to click on Daniel's ditzie map. I can click on map links that other people haven't edited (like one I pre-built before we started the game).
Did anybody add an image file to the map somehow? I've never seen this error before. It's requiring me to log in, but won't let me. Log ins shouldn't be required just to view a map.

That's when you reply, "Well, I hope you figure out your PC's motivation soon!", and then have a goblin attack him.
