[Legendary Games] Mythic March Mania Kickstarter announced!

[Jason Nelson]

Check out our webpage for the latest information about our newest Kickstarter project, putting an amazing assortment of mythic supplements into print. Far from just being compilations of existing work, this project aims to create not, not TWO, but THREE fantastic hardback supplements for the mythic rules for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Check it out and keep an eye on Legendary Games for the latest information, including a few friends who will be lending their aid to the cause!

Ready to launch March 24th! Are you ready to Make Your Game Legendary?

[Terokai]

You mean I cant throw money at you guys for a whole nother month? guess I will bide mytime with mythic undead then.

[Jason Nelson]

We just want enough time to show you all the cool stuff we are planning, so you can get REALLY excited! :)

[PathlessBeth]

I can't tell...
does this include new stuff for the PDF-only, no-print nuts like me?

[Jason Nelson]

Absolutely. Everything prepared for print will be available in PDF as well. And there WILL be new stuff aplenty.

[Monkeygod]

I am really excited about this!! Also I love that this is a month down the line, as right now I definitely can't afford to pledge, but in 30+ days, I absolutely can.

[Changing Man]

dotted for interest.

[Jason Nelson]

Glad to see the interest, and pushing things a bit farther out into the future was one of the tings we learned from our previous Kickstarter. There were a number of reasons why that one was timed the way it was, but regardless people consistently commented that they'd have liked more time to get ready for it and to save up for it, especially when it came to splurging for stretch goals.

Your wish is our command! And just between you and me, there are going to be some very cool stretch goals coming your way.

[Terokai]

the fact that this date also allows for tax return checks to get to people before the kcikstarter ends was completely unintentional right jason? :P

[Jason Nelson]

Of course, of course. I would never be accused of careful planning for such things. And stuff. :)

[archmagi1]

Nice! I've been impressed with the four or so things of your mythic line that I actually bought. Definitely probably gonna pledge something.

[Jason Nelson]

I'm glad you have enjoyed our products, and I definitely probably look forward to taking your pledge!

[Jason Nelson]

Annnnnd UPDATE AHOY! The first of our hardcore hardcovers is unveiled, along with our special friend that'll be working on this project with us!

[Terokai]

very cool news!

[Changing Man]

O.M.F.G. !!

[Drock11]

I'm looking forward to it. I think you'll be able to count me in when the time comes.

[Jason Nelson]

Thanks for your support, all in this thread. Please give us a hand when it comes to publicizing the Kickstarter. If you can comment, like, and/or share posts on Facebook that will assist our efforts in getting the word out. And, of course, keep checking here, there, and (of course) on our website for the latest information, we'll keep sending it your way.

I hope you enjoy our next update tomorrow (well, later today at this point, since it's past midnight). I think it just might be a stroke of genius... :)

Owen Stephens, eh?

[Monkeygod]

I'm pretty good at promoting KS via Facebook. Just ask Wolfgang Baur and Owen Stephens :)

Gladly will I use my powers for the good of Legendary Games!

[Jason Nelson]

I appreciate all mighty powers flexing for the forces of good!

Could be. Then again, could be Wile. E. Coyote. You just never know, and even when you think you know people might just go rogue on you.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to have a TPK before we even get started. :)

[Jason Nelson]

Next update, and what lies within the SECOND BOOK?

[Monkeygod]

WOW!!!

All I can say after your 2nd announcement.

I am so looking forward to this KS!! Hmm, could tomorrow be Mythic Monsters??

Also, will there be any chance for Mythic items, more Legendary Artifact abilities, etc?

[Valantrix1]

It all looks good Jason! I have one question though. How will this affect all the other nonmythic products you announced earlier in the year?

[Lord Mhoram]

Wow!!
I'm going to have to save up now. I so much want the Spellbook and the Feat/Path abilities books.

I've bought every PDF with this stuff in it.

I know the kickstarter is for the hardcovers, but will there be a PDF version of them - I tend to all my gaming digitally?

[Monkeygod]

Posted a link to the newest announcement to a RPG Kickstarter group on FB :)

Yes, all compilations will be available in PDF form.

Faerie Mysteries and Unrighteous Villains are currently in layout and should be available within the next week or two.

I've turned over my sections of Treasury of the Fleet and started in on Treasury of the Crusade, but completion of those awaits other contributors. Matt Goodall should be turning over Islands of Plunder shortly. Art is underway on that and on other products as yet unannounced.

And, since I've been clearing out all my half-done bits and pieces, I'll finally have the space on my schedule to knock out the rest of the long-delayed Ultimate War.

So, short answer: A couple of them are about to drop, and there are more in various stages of completion on writing and art. Fear not! The Legendary train will continue rolling!

I don't know if this would be a good place to ask this question or if it would be better served in one of your other threads about your mythic projects. Since your doing all this mythic stuff, and you already did work on converting all the core spells to mythic version I was wondering if you will ever do something in the future that brings back epic spells that are more similar to how they were in the old Epic Level Handbook.

While I like the way there are mythic versions of normal spells now I also think they often don't have the same feel, uniqueness, or epicness the old epic spells did. They feel like normal spells gimmicked up (because they are). Not that it always bad, and it has it's high points, but it also sometimes loses something. Of course if a new epic spell system was created things would need to be changed like making the mechanics of how they operate or are learned actually work well at all, and either drastically changing or eliminating the spell construction rules and maybe just putting out pre-made spells like most normal spells are created to keep things balanced. Add getting rid of the whole DC stuff to cast them also. I'll admit it was a really cool concept that wasn't executed that well, but I thought had potential.

I know it's unlikely, and to be realistic a tall order even if somebody wanted to do that, but it's something I'm trowing out there as an idea for the future.

[Jason Nelson]

The whole concept of epic uber-spells, ritual casting, group casting, and the like is a staple concept of fantasy mega-magic, but I don't know that I've ever seen a concept for it that I really like, not just the 3.0 ELH spells but also including 2nd Ed. Quest Spells (Tome of Magic) or Dragon/Avangion Psionic Enhancements (Dark Sun) or Realm spells (Birthright) or the Player's Option: Spells & Magic system. There are parts of each system that I like but all of them had problematic issues.

It's something very much worth exploring, but it's a complex design challenge to make a robust system instead of another problematic one, and not one that we have the bandwidth to tackle at the moment.

[Monkeygod]

<keeps refreshing and checking thread/FB for announcement 3> COME ON!! LOL

You might want to take a look at Little Red Goblin Games' Legendary Levels.

I don't have it (it's on my list...), but from what I've heard they added
i)"normal" spells of levels 10-12, and
ii)"True Dweomers", which are extremely powerful, and each one requires a feat to learn (and each can only be used once per day).

Hopefully you decided to refresh just one... more... time...

NOW - THE THIRD BOOK REVEALED!

[Monkeygod]

One, I was just about to go to sleep when I decided to check again. I had planned to go to bed about an hour ago, but basically stayed up hoping for this announcement.

Two, AWESOME!!! I am seriously interested in that monster sponsor.

Three...

More this weekend?!? CAN'T WAIT, SO EXCITED!!!

Goodnight, lol

[El Ronza]

Hmm. How much food can I afford to go without in exchange for Mythic goodness... ;-)

Just take the Mythic Sustenance universal path ability.

I like this answer.

[Monkeygod]

Hey Jason, I've suddenly been struck with some serious inspiration for suggestions for these books. Would it be alright if I PM'd you about them?

And yes, I actually woke up , middle of the night to ask this, that's how excited I am about them.

[Forgottenprince]

Dotting for interest

[Jason Nelson]

Heck if you take the Bon Vivant path ability, people will buy food FOR YOU (and dish on all the best gossip while they're at it)! Of course, you have to be 3rd mythic tier to get it. :)

Sure, although the best place to message me is at makeyourgamelegendary at gmail dot com. I check it far more often than my Paizo PM's and it's easier to reply, forward, etc.

Ha, I love it. Truth be told, I'm that excited too! :)

Do you think you'll find room in the Mythic Monsters book to include a Mythic Unicorn..? The Mythic Mounts product was excellent save for that one glaring omission (it might come up in the WotR I am playing in).

And awesome stuff! I pretty much swear by Legendary Games so I'm looking forward to these compilations!

The mythic unicorn is on the docket! It is slated for Mythic Monsters: Fairy Tale Creatures. Not yet in production, but planned for later this spring.

[Terokai]

I just bought the rest of the mythic supplements.... damn you mr nelson for you and your teams fantastic products!

Awesome! I love the mythic content, but I'm honestly starting to get a bit burnt out on it. Never fear, I will be backing the kickstarter project though! Ultimate War is what I'm most interested in getting my hands on. The first 2 in the series were perhaps the best third-party supplements I have ever read, and I'm eager to see how you tackle the rest. Good luck with the kickstarter and everything else too!
