Inspiring, well thinked, self aware piece of work here. Good.

Spectacular. This fully formed Myth fits into 3 pages with so many ways to engage with it. Love the writing, layout, and art, and the flavor ideas provide the mere tip of the iceberg for ways to implement the ideas in your game. Really well done!

It took me way too long to get that this is Mythic Bastionlands and that’s why it is, how it is.

The writing and the lore of this mini-setting (or is it a very big encounter?) is great. And as always I tell myself to get more into the system than buying the PDF and watch a YouTube video.

Really great interpretation of the title given by those above.

This is brilliant, really leans into the aesthetic style of Mythic Bastionland and the presentation is clear and well-written. The Redactors are great, combined with MB's setting it actually reminds me of Captain Britain and the android known as the Fury. You could do some really fun stuff with this and its implications if that is something the GM is comfortable with using. I'd be really keen to run this and see where it leads!

Really nice artwork and layout, the vibes fit really well with Mythic Bastionland. The writing is really evocative, and filled with imagination. I haven't played MB yet, but am really eager to - and this Myth/Oracle presented will slot in nicely. Playing around with prophecy and alternate timelines is very cool. I feel like I would have to have a deep understanding of my own campaign, and really think about the outcomes of the fragments table, and the implications, to get the most out of it. The module really got me thinking. Great stuff!

This module got me to look into Mythic Bastionland, and now that I understand a bit more about the system I can tell this is an excellent piece for the system. I'm particular impressed with how you melded the pulp fantasy Appx.N style with the  visual design of the Mythic Bastionland!

Great cover and layout ! I do struggle a bit to see how I would run this. I figure it might be the way MB omens are written in which case it's probably not a system for me. The idea of the redactors and memories from other timelines are cool !

Submitted

I really like this module. Its bold and intense and mysterious. I feel this could work really well as part of a deliberate one-shot or later in campaign play to introduce more weird into a Realm. Awesome work

Great cover and use of the Mythic Bastionland style. I've only read, not played, Mythic Bastionland, but I already think I can appreciate how bold of a take on it this is. Very cool, thanks for making it!

I've never played Mythic Bastionland, but this makes me really, really want to!

Love how closely your layout hewn to the original Mythic Bastionland book, while still maintaining a unique sense of science-fantasy style! Big fan of the Redactors as well, and that you didn’t try to over-explain who they are or where they come from.

As a sucker for tarot mechanics in TTRPGs, I’ll definitely try running some of the Eightfold Oracle’s alternate timeline selves in my next MB campaign!

Submitted

This rocks; you've nailed the visual design and tone of MB, and the extra mechanics add fun interactivity with the rest of the game's myths in a way that elevates everything (provided your Referee is good at keeping track!).

Submitted

Great job. The adventure is well written, and the layout and art go well together.

Very good work, I think this would be an interesting myth to run with MG. Loving the tome-tastic view in the mockup!
