One of the unique traits of the Myth boardgame has always been the way it handles movement and stances. The idea that different kinds of movement provide different bonuses, penalties, and restrictions is built right into the mechanics and the cards themselves. When we began addressing movement in Dawn of Heroes, we knew that the feel of this gameplay needed to remain, but we had a couple of additional goals:
  • Clarify and distinguish the effects of the stances even further, and
  • Build a system that provides for more non-movement actions.
Let’s talk about how we’re doing that.

We know a lot of folks are at home right now and we want to give you something to do, something where you can be creative, or just distract you for a moment. The Dark Eye core book and two Solo adventure are FREE to download right now (technically Pay What You Want). In addition we highlight more free or inexpensive offerings for fans and new players to play online.

The upcoming Fading Suns Kickstarter (coming March 24th!) includes the big, full-color, brand-new edition core books, chock full of background and game rules. As a gift from the Pancreator, it also includes some additional sourcebooks that give us the skinny on the factions of the Known Worlds: the Imperial Dossiers.

Since we’ve already talked about class and faction, let’s talk about the third major decision you’ll make when creating a character: calling. It’s your character’s profession. (Although that word might be well and good for a guilder, it’s certainly not fit for a noble — it implies “work”, for Pancreator’s sake! And a priest has a calling, not a job. So, to placate the ruling classes, let’s just call it “calling”.)

My name is Eric Simon, and I am the line developer for the Myth board game under Ulisses Spiele. If you have been following Ulisses and are wondering what this is all about, Myth is a cooperative miniatures adventure game with a deep lore and richly varied gameplay. If you are a fan of Myth from its previous releases, then no doubt you are wondering what we’re going to do with it. That’s what I’d like to talk about today.
