hell of an art! FGood use of the myth genre

Absolutely love the layout of this! Very good looking adventure with some super solid encounters. Would love to run this!

If I ever get the opportunity to actually run Mythic Bastionland, this is for sure on my list. Engaging myth that feels equally at home with appendix n and the core myths.

I saw you clarified the use of Encounters in the comments below, but I’d recommend either moving it after the omens or if you had the room explaining how to use the encounters. Especially because, from my understanding, the only “random” encounters as written in MB are Omens, a Hex’s landmark, and Knights (though there isn’t a specific trigger for the latter outside their omen.)

Thank you! Yeah realizing a bit of an oversight there. I think I can add a few words that will clear it up.

Very cool, and the art is incredible. I love the horror vibe, you absolutely nailed it. Great job!

Man I've been holding off on playing Mythic Bastionland but this might make me pull the trigger. Love the art and the design, seems very easy to run! Job well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! Haven, the artist, made it all come together with the layout. Definitely give Mythic Bastionland a go. The format of the myths are really fun to run and experience as players. Sometimes an omen is just something to observe and other times it’s more direct. 

Submitted

Very happy to see another Mythic Bastionland entry! Nice color choices & clean layout.

Really enjoyed the Omens, the disfigurements table, & how creepy Nadir was depicted! Also, holy hell, that sword is badass!

Submitted

I wish I knew more about MB to be able to appreciate this, but I enjoyed reading it anyway. Solid design and execution.

Submitted

Love everything about this. I think this is an amazing format for MB myths (please make more!). The only question I have is: how do you expect the random encounters to be used?

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The random encounters serve as something for the GM to use if they need it when the company encounters the 5th omen. The one where they are in the Cold Caldera. I figure since it affects the entire hex, having some themed encounters as they travel through could be useful.

This looks and feels like something I should be buying directly from  Bastionland's author.  Very impressive!

Developer(+1)

thank you. I loved your submission!

Really fond of this. Awesome addition for MB. I feel like that end omen could be very brutal!

Developer

thank you! Definitely! I wanted the last one to feel impactful either way it goes.

This is all on point. Can't wait to use it for a MB session! 

Developer

awesome!! Thanks. Let me know if you end up using it.

Elegant and clean layout, great art and well-designed, often horrifying encounters. It does a great job with the idea of magic as chaotic and corrupting.

Submitted(+1)

Great submission. I enjoyed reading it and cute art!

Submitted

Great art and squeaky-clean layout.

Developer

Haven killed it with the art and layout! 

Submitted

Oh hey-- a yeti!

Love the presentation and well done for an evocative myth. Interesting to see a genie-type being that actively wants to fulfil wishes and is upset if she fails, not sure I've seen that before.

Developer

thank you! Had fun jamming with those ideas. Haven made it happen with the layout and art
