It's the "animals and plants" part that's cracking me up. Now I know there's plenty of plant critters that are entirely justified in that category, but I can't help but think "your characters are walking on a mythic lawn!" :D
Which takes me back to Ultima III, where if you lurked around outside the Castle of Exodus, the lawns started attacking. Of course inside, there were assorted demons, dragons, and at the end, killer floors...
Huh. I remember the floors, of course, but not the lawn... Those were the days.
Animals and Plants has been axed to make way for splitting vermin into two categories, worms and bugs.

They have indeed, and the BUGS ARE HERE! Past $61,000 already and still rolling! The backer poll for bugs has been sent! A DOUBLE-SIZED bug list, with FIVE votes for your favorites! Gotta catch em all!
And I am in for one of each hardcover, signed of course. This thing just looks too good to pass up.
Masters of Chaos!
Come on guys, we have 9 hours to get Organized to create Lords of Law!
I like it. But, I'm even more interested in the 2 new Mythic Paths.

We are closing in on CAMPAIGN SETTING MYTHIC - just a few hundred away! And NEW bonus goals are within reach, if things go completely crazy in the next few hours! Hey, always prepare for success, that's what I say!
And I'm in.
I had to lie to Amazon a little bit because the Mythic Marvel Plus wouldn't let me pledge $180. Y'know... $150 plus $30 'cuz I'm in Canada. No, no, Kickstarter decided I need to amp it up to $200 because "add $50 if not in the US". Turns out there's a "lie to Amazon" button, where you just say you're in the US. Problem solved. For now.
Bottom line is you've got my money. Or will, shortly.
Kudos on changing the policy on the PDFs; if I'd had to pay for them in addition, I'm sure I wouldn't've bothered. The cherry on the top really makes the cake.
I'm in for the PDFs, because I'm poor. >.> I'll most likely try to budget for the hardcovers once they're released - are they likely to still be $50 each?
...I'll most likely try to budget for the hardcovers once they're released - are they likely to still be $50 each?
I believe in one of Jason's interviews, he mentioned that the price of the books will likely become $59.99 once they start selling through webstores. And the PDFs will cost extra if you want to get them at the same time. So, the value is actually much greater if you can commit to the hardcovers now. Not only will you get the books for $50.00 apiece, but you'll also get the PDFs for free since they're all inclusive at those backer levels now.
I'm really in it for the new Mythic paths. Little more than $700 to go, easy to make.
Just had to get in on this! Hardbacks + sponsoring a feat.
One question though. Will I just list the feat on the after Kickstarter survey, or do I have to use some other method of contact?
I love mythic so this is very exciting to me.
Edit: I do hope we make the new paths that would be awesome.
That's fine, I can budget for $180 worth of books over the course of the next year. I just don't have the money for the hardcovers now. If I did, I'd get them, but the shipping to Australia HURTS.
If I had a chance of paying for them over the next several months, that would be fantastic, but unfortunately, that's nt an option with Kickstarters.
Over 66,000!!!
New paths woot!

Just added 90$ to take advantage of the Ultimate Psionics print book + pdf add-on (good thing I checked the whole list otherwise I would have missed it).
I live in France, so I may need to up the shipping costs already included in my pledge for the 3 Mythic books (50$), but if I understood the add-on correctly, I can add this amount after the KS ends. (Hope so at least, as I got to start my 2h30 minutes commute to my job right now).
And I really hope we smash the 68 000 $ goalpost. Mythic afflictions are an absolute Must-Have !!!
Woot over 450 backers and 68,000!
1 hour left, lets try for 70,000!
Huh. Who knew? My two humble spells from Deep Magic will get the Mythic treatment!?!? I don't even have the Mythic Rules (though I have gifted them to someone else, and they are available on the PRD) and have exhausted my funds so I'm not pledging for this. I would like to have been able to though.
Only about 40 mins left!!!

The final verdict, including Paypal backers: $70,012!
Though for anyone who wanted to pledge and didn't, or wanted to add on a little something extra, for a limited time you can still do that via Paypal. Check the above link for the details!
Thank, thank you one and all.
I didn't pledge this time (too low funds), but I wished you well the whole month. I'm happy that you came so far. I'll buy the PDFs when they're out. ^^ Can't wait to see Mythic Monstrous Mount and Mythic Adept Channel. ^___^

I did contribute for all three books, but ouch, that’s pretty steep. I mean the Core Rulebook is almost 600 pages and is only $50. Yes, I understand you are a smaller company and Jason will probably print less copies (besides the KS copies) for the mythic books once they becomes available on the webstores, but that’s still pretty high.
I spoke to one of my GMs and he had to hold off on going in on the KS as he said he needs to save every penny for GenCon. He did indicate he will purchase the books when they come out, and I did tell him they would be more money, but he said that was fine.
Any idea how much the PDFs will be and what the final (approximate) page counts will be for the three books?

Exactly what will be included from those product lines remains to be seen. We need to survey the product lines to see how much is out there.
Ditto on page counts; in the mad surge at the end those totally got lost count of. Our general guesstimates will start resolving themselves as things get written and we see how much it all adds up to.

You really shouldn't base your estimates on the Core Rulebook, as it's deliberately priced as low as Paizo can possibly afford. It's a loss leader to allow as many people as possible access to the game, in hopes that they'll then buy the more conventionally priced books.

Yes, that is a good point. I guess books are just that expensive now, especially color ones. I just hope it doesn’t turn off my GM when the time comes that the books are available to purchase online. I don’t think it will, as when I told him the price will be higher (than if he contributed) and he said that was fine.
A better comparison is the rotrl hardcover, which is only a third the length of one of these books and costs $60.
I would agree RotRL would be a better comparison, although not sure where you got one third the length as it is 420 pages.

And by the way, here is a really cool list of monsters, chosen and earned by the fans of MYTHIC MANIA!
Voting will continue until the end of the week, but I thought people might like an update on what the leading candidates are.
What will happen if enough post pledges are made to hit $71k or beyond? Not sure how possible it is, but I know I need to up mine to the print level, just can't right this minute.
One question I have is that I am unclear what books exactly are getting the "All inclusive" treatment in regards to feats.
Of particular interest to me is the Animal Archive, however as this is part of the players companion line I was unsure if it is included.
In any case very excited by these books.
I believe, according to Jason, that right now they are unsure what material from the Companion and Campaign books are getting in, as there is a LOT to choose from.
Not to sound like I'm trying to push for more money, but honestly, if there is something from Animal Archive that you feel HAS to be Myhticked, I'd sponsor it, for $25, if its a feat or spell.
*Smile*
I actually already put in the 25$ to sponsor the feat I am thinking of but I was wondering if I needed to go looking for another Feat, due to the whole book already being included.
Thank you for the response, however.
I love this Kickstarter.
Boo. I finally scraped up the cash and I missed the window
O well, guess I'll have to wait for them to be available regular style
Congrats on the success!
@Patrick Curtin - You didn't miss anything. The kickstarter is still open via paypal for a few more days. In fact if you become a backer you could be a big part of making more monsters happen, as that is the next stretch goal.

Ah! Thanks for the tip!
