Nice job putting this up here Calimar.
I actually mentioned Myth & Magic on another thread on this board but it always helps to get the word out.
Let me know what you think of the ruleset.
Just a quick update for anyone interested:
The game is moving forward very nicely and starter kits are available for download from rpgnow and drivethru rpg as well as from the company's site itself (newhavengames.com). These only have 4 classes and cover up to level 10, but it's a solid system!
Additionally, if anyone is a fan, they have gone live on a Kickstarter project to get funding started and get to the full production of books. I can't recommend this game highly enough - it's just very nice and hits all of my right buttons.
You can check out the kickstarter site and the bonus depending on level of support here if you are interested.

I have some conversion rules worked up if anyone is curious how compatible it is with 2e (very very)
Kickstarter now at 80% I hear there are some Elmore sightings as well...
Fully funded, woot! Hardbacks will be coming my way. :)
Clyde Caldwell, people!!! This guy was seminal in 2e art to me! I don't know about the rest of you, but this project is fully giving me such a great vibe overall ...
When the total hits $7500, another artist will be revealed ... Caldwell did a lot of the 2e work, but especially the spelljammer stuff stands out to me - I loved that setting SO much, and the artwork was certainly key in setting the tone and tenor overall of the things I loved about it!!
Amazing!!
Quick update:
The second TSR artist stretch goal has been reached, but they are not ready to announce just yet, I believe the details have not been ironed out with the artist's agent just yet. In addition, the next production milestone is very very close:
$8,000 - We'll use semi-gloss paper with a full bleed page layout and include grayscale full pages and better shaded art.
Full bleed high quality hardbacks ($35 or 4 for $75) with TSR artists? Sounds good to me,
Cheers!
8000 has been blown past (8666 atm :p), so the high quality books are confirmed. In addition the artist Doug Kovacs is signed up for a few illos, and there will be some more TSR artists confirmed (or so they have stated).
Cheers
Confirmed artists:
Clyde Caldwell, Matt Geerling, Jennell Jaquays, Doug Kovacs, Diesel LaForce, John Lofregen, Rob Lopatto, Jessica Safron and Jason Walton.
In addition, they have a Kickstarter crossover with Dwimmermount and Adventures Dark & Deep!

Level 1 and associated sub area of Dwimmermount is available for free to backers now! Free swag as well (probably some sort of character folio).
And the big goal from the beginning has been reached, Easley and/or Elmore art!
Woot
Unofficial update from the horses mouth (the publisher is pretty slammed with stuff it seems, so I am leaking this out):
We have officially decided to provide a deluxe character codex as a free gift to all backers who pledged at a level that includes at least one hardcover. The cover is being completed now. It features a Clyde Caldwell painting that really captures the idea of attaining power. We may ask for a lil help with shipping for folks that want the softcover in their hands, but that will only be a few dollars.
Once we put that on the Kickstarter page, that may help to drive more backers to pledge.
Once we hit 15k, and at every 1k up to and including 20k, all backers will receive an expansion race or class featured in the Players Arcana guide due out in late 2013. This means that if we hit 20k, you'll have three new classes and three new races to play with.
That's a lot of Myth and Magic.
Backers will get something really cool if we get to the ultimate stretch goal of 22,500. I'll announce more on that at 17,500!
Free character codex with Caldwell cover, extra races and classes? Nice!
