Will the Mummy's Mask adventure path incorporate rules from Mythic Adventures? Or will Wrath of the Righteous be the only adventure path to do so?
James Jacobs has stated that if Mummy's Mask includes any of the additional rules from Mythic, it will only be things like Monsters & possibly NPC's. They are going to hold off on any more Mythic PC stuff until they have had the chance to see how well Wrath of the Righteous is received.

I'm running a mythic Shattered Star campaign now, and am finding the adjust to be pretty straightforward. Most of the encounters work fine as written, but mythic templates/tiers are easy to add for extra flavor or challenge.

I plan on running this, and wanted to run Wrath of the Righteous but since it requires the Mythic rules I backed away. Pathfinder characters are already uber powerful to where we don't need more. If this AP uses mythics to where I need to purchase the rules for it (tired of reading more rules sets also; I just want to game), I will pass this by and continue waiting for a less polluted product to surface.
From the sounds of things, Indivar, the players will not be Mythic. Some of the FOES will be, but as per the normal write-ups for Big Bads, they'll include descriptions of everything that the mythic monster can do so you don't need the Mythic Rulebook to run it as presented in the AP.
Besides, the Mythic rules are available on the Rules Archive (PRD) link.

WOTR has suggestions for running the game at a non-mythic level. No need to be so unpleasant. :) Something isn't polluted just because it is not run at your preferred power level! That is a silly idea!

The rules are available online for free. Even if you wanted to run Wrath, you still would not need to buy Mythic Adventures.
I'm adding Mythic templates occasionally in RoTRL..and have every intention of rewriting Karazoug as a fully epic character.
But then I do have 7 players

I am quite confident that this is not the case. My understanding is that you 'might' see one or two mythic creatures throughout the entirety of the AP, and they will include easy and self-contained rules.
Much like when a creature from Tome of Horrors is utilized. No purchase of that book is required to use it because all of the information is provided.
I hope you enjoy it when it comes out!
My players are eager for this one...I ordered entombed with the pharaohs as a way to tide them over til the main course arrives.
Mythic they could take or leave, their high level heroes are availabe with a majority vote...plus they find the lower levels more fun!

Reading through the first module right now. So far it has no Mythic within the Mummy's Mask. Great little dungeon crawls too. :D
Yes, there's nothing Mythic at this point. Which makes sense seeing that you've level 1-4 characters here. Nor is there really any point that would make for an Ascension scenario - my plans, if I can get a group started (I'm working on it for a friend's kids) is to keep it to the regular rules and not inflict Mythic on them. At least, not for THEM being Mythic! ;)
Of course, depending on how good the group ends up, I could end up using Mythic templates to make some encounters tougher.
