Yeah, I agree. Making mythic rules usable at any level of play seems like a really smart decision. Looking forward to seeing how the finished version looks!
Mythic enemies would probably be a bit like using the advanced template. But a lot more varied and interesting.

... You really should get your hands on the playtest. ;-)
I did, and based my assesment on that.
Generally a regular example of its kind regarding HD and such, but with additional oomph.
I certainly hope so. I know I'm going to be getting them, the playtest rules are making me SO EXCITED.
When do we get see some previews of this?
Well, there's a mythic NPC in Reign of Winter 6...

Which is 15 days before the mythic rule book comes out. Hopefully.

Reign of Winter 6 is shipping to AP subscribers now, so they're getting the PDF, but the retail release date isn't until July 31. So you're both right.
I love the descriptions but the cover doesnt really give that " umff " to it i like though. Im an artist as well i dont hate any picture because of the work that has to go with it. But if you do keep it im down with it 100% :D

We are getting so close! How about some spoilers!

I like the cover but after seeing the finished mythic designs for the iconics I agree that it just seems to be missing the "oomph" that is inherent in the update designs. Can't wait though, counting down the days!
I missed the playtest entirely because there was nowhere for me to integrate it into my campaigns. Now I'm looking at introducing it once the book is released. As I digest the playtest version, I'm kicking myself for not jumping in earlier.
I have one pressing question that maybe someone who followed the playtest can answer:
Were there complaints about spamming the word "mythic" on core rules mechanics? Or spamming of the word "mythic" in general? If so, were those complaints noted for improvement in the final release?
I'm gonna buy it either way, I am just hoping to set my expectations.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Contingency Whenever Baba Yaga is attacked, she is affected
by mislead.
Forceful Presence (Ex) Baba Yaga adds her Charisma modifier
as an insight bonus to her Armor Class and on all of her saving
throws. In addition, Baba Yaga uses her Charisma score as
well as her Constitution score when calculating hit points. This
ability increases her total CR by 1.
Hut Familiar (Ex) Baba Yaga built her Dancing Hut using a
combination of the witch’s hut hex and the sanctum mythic
path ability, and over time expanded the artifact’s powers
to its present state. The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga serves
as Baba Yaga’s familiar, and replaces the normal witch’s
familiar ability. Baba Yaga’s life is forever intertwined with her
Dancing Hut and parts of her essence reside within it. As long
as the hut exists, this special connection grants her 300 bonus
hit points, DR 10/epic and good, and regeneration 20. This
ability increases her total CR by 1.
... Holy Crap at Forceful Presence.
If that is part of the Charisma path (Marshal?) then I want me some of that Mythic Path!
What Mythic Spell does she know?
Since Forceful Presence increases her CR by 1 *by itself* I don't think it is something that can be gained from a mythic path.

The product description does mention "transform the landscape with terraform" which to me sounds like a wide-scale Move Earth spell or similar.
That said, I wouldn't be opposed to a spell that could do things like raise an island from the depths of the ocean, or similar.
To me it sounds like the means she used to lock Irrisen in eternal winter.

We're looking for six as she's got extra path ability as a feat. Queen of witches won't be one as its explained as a seperate part of the stat block. In her special attacks, she has channel power which we know is one, plus these possibilities
Coupled arcana, mythic hexes, mythic prescence, reverse scrying, sanctum, throw spell

It may have been involved, but there's more to it than that. Definitely more than one spell was involved.

Isn't the whole point of E6 to be avoiding the heavy powered magical abilities? If you're not keeping your games down to the human, gritty, mortal level, there really is no point in running E6 or E8.
Not the whole point, no. It's certainly a nice thing about E6, but E6 is also simpler to run, keeps the opposition relevant longer, arguably helps class balance, and informs how your world functions.
I'm personally looking forward to running an M6 game for those reasons, mostly in exploring how it shapes the world. An E6 world with Mythic rules looks a lot more like our myths and legends, to me, than high level Pathfinder or high level Pathfinder with Mythic rules.
Cheers!

To me it sounds like the means she used to lock Irrisen in eternal winter.The adventure gives very specific details for Irrisen's eternal winter.

That being said, stuff actually making it from Earth to Golarian takes the active effort of extremely powerful beings, like Baba Yaga or high level PCs.
Also, based on the Szuriel article, I'd say that Szuriel knows how to build modern weaponry and probably even atomic bombs, but most societies lack the technological advancement to utilize her knowledge. Szuriel will actually help a society's technological development if it'll lead to widespread massacre. Which brings up a tantalizing possibility that the Szuriel may have helped set up the Alkenstar Gun Works.
To be on topic for Mythic - Baba Yaga's stat block is pretty impressive, especially some of her safeguards. I'm curious as to how absurd Cthulhu's abilities will be.
Dear Grandmother keeps her death in a pocket dimension inside the Hut that only she can grant access to.
In other words, you need Baba Yaga's permission to be able to attempt to kill her.
Once someone has a copy can they inform us or give us a table of what classes fit best with each mythic path?
Isn't that already discernable from the playtest?
