I'm in on this Kickstarter!

At first glance it looks like another dungeon crawl game with cool minis,... But it looks like it will be much more than that.

There is a little bit a everything in here,... You like minis? They are wonderful! Love card games? The game has cool cards and hand management mechanics! Like co-op games? This is a true no DM experience.

One of the very cool things is that the progress of the game is not random,.... Or artificially easy or difficult. Some previous titles in the genre worry so much about replay-ability that they shoot themselves in the foot by making the game too difficult. MYTH is based on the idea that friends are gathered around the fire telling tall tales of their adventures,... So the players really do control how the game advances through their in game decisions. Whether you heal or attack or whatever else each turn can affect if more monsters spawn,... How many spawn,... How much treasure you get,...etc.

Too aggressive and you spawn too many baddies and you die,... Too passive and you won't earn the items and character improvements that you will need to be successful later in the story,...... I love that about this game. I found it because I've been a customer of MERCS for a few years now,... They are a great bunch,... And as you will see on the Kickstarter, they have great communication.

It reached the funding goal on day two,... And the stretches are starting to roll in,... Check it out!

I have looked at the game, as i am trying to find ways to play cooperative games with my wife, while still staying with the minis gaming I love. Unfortunately, I can't afford a Kickstarter game like they cost right now, and wait until January 2014 to play it.

I'm sure that this, like others, will be in general distribution once it goes out,.... You just miss out on all the extra stuff.

Oh, totally. My hope is that the extra stuff, especially what you can purchase alongside your main pledge (Quest expansion cards, etc.) is available seperately alongside the game at the main release, or at least soon after. I just can't swing 100+ on a game. I did that with Sedition Wars, and I haven't even played it yet, lol.

Yeah,... I have not backed many,... In fact this is only my second.

I understand that SW has some awesome minis, but some problems with the gameplay. Has it shipped yet?

It's shipped, but I haven't done anything but open the box to check components. I haven't even taken the figures out of their baggies yet, much less take the several hours to assemble them.

On topic, though- MYTH looks like a really cool idea for a game. Without seeing any of the meat of the scenarios, it looks a bit bland, but I think that may definitely be a necessity of having the enemy be AI controlled so that both players are freed up for co-op. Just the thought of a co-op Dungeon Crawl with good mechanics makes me wish i had the money to get into all the cool looking games coming out lately.

The differing hand management mechanics for each hero really provide a unique experience. Yeah..... January is way too far off,... The good news is that these guys have always been good about sharing art and ideas,... I'm sure that there will be plenty of stuff to tease me all year.

Skeleton Stretch goal has been unlocked!!!!



Mini boss stretch should fall in the morning some time!

(A giant rat being ridden by a little Orc). Looks bad ass!

The R.O.U.S. has been unlocked!!!!

The Trickster hero video has been put up:




He will be unlocked at the $200k mark (we are currently tracking to acheive that, and the momentum has built a little yesterday and into today.

Once we get the $100k stretch mark, we will not only get 6 extra Captain minis (2 of each type)!! but the team will also release a $175k stretch goal as well as a few goals above the $200k mark.

New stretch goals have been announced! (all of which we are on easy pace to hit)

The elementals look especially bad-ass!

It’s time to get on board so that we can take this thing even further.

Check it out: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1700755582/myth-0?ref=live

$100k breached!

The momentum has really shifted since the new stretches were released,.... next stretch is @ $125k and will give all Captain level and up pledgers 18 more minis!!! (6 each of arachnids, orcs, and skeltons)

We're on the move!

Past the $125k mark and now on through $135k.....

Art Card Sleeves coming @ $150k

News today: EU shipping from Germany to avoid VAT fees for backers. German translation version confirmed (Spanish, Italian, and French in the works)

New additions to the pledge levels (added value) all unlocked minios will have bonus minis added to the pledges at Apprentice Level and above:



so once we hit $225k, Elementals will also be added and this pledge will have 44 minis on top of what comes with the Captain level pledge (and the signed lithograph).

New extended gameplay videos added this morning:

Part 1 of 6




Part 2 of 6

Next two extended clips are up:

Part 3 of 6
