Woot! Actually very psyched for this path. I'm a bit curious though, do you have any other paths in the works as well?

We may do other paths in the future, but there's nothing on the books right now. We'd need to come up with a compelling idea for an iconic archetype that's not already well-covered by the available options. I could perhaps see an Occultist path of some sort after the Occult Adventures book comes out, which would engage the psychic magic rules that book promises in a mythic way.
Overall, our mythic output will ramp down somewhat compared to what it has been as we finish off our big MYTHIC MANIA project and catch up on other projects that have gotten sidelined and build towards some exciting new stuff.
There will still be mythic content in plenty, but the proportions will shift back toward other product lines to bring things more into balance.
