The Story Begins…

Posted on by

With some suggestions from Nelson, I’ve managed to start off on my first trek into the Mythic Game Master Emulator.

He first suggested rolling a die to determine what system to use, but I decided to start with the system that I’m most familiar with, D&D 5th Edition.

But what character should I use?

Nelson then suggested rolling a die for that choice, so I assigned a number to ten level 1 characters that I had created in D&D Beyond, and rolled a 3.

BEHOLD, YOUR NEW HERO!

Raised By Minotaurs, level 1 human Barbarian.

This one will be interesting to play from his description.

My initial adventure description rolls were “attain’ and ‘information’, so I’m gonna go with RBM entering town, looking for a job as a monster hunter.

More on this later.

2024 Goals

While I didn’t get around to Star Fleet Battles by the end of 2023, it’s on the list for 2024.

I hope to play a tabletop game a week.

That is all.

Stand by!

Step 2

Now that I’ve gotten through the Mythic Game Master Emulator book, I need to decide which system I wanna start off with.

I suddenly had a bug up my ass to try a system that I hadn’t even considered, so I downloaded the core rulebook to take a look.

But then I told myself that no, you’re going to chose one of the three you started to look at, or at the very least, a system that exists in PSF form on my Kindle Fire Tablet.

Lo and behold, the system I had a bug up my ass to consider is on that tablet.

Heh.

Whether or not I go through with this system over anything else depends on how much I can read of a 300+ page rulebook before I get distracted by the next Shiny Object™.

The system in question:

Blame it on me watching Lawmen: Bass Reeves and The Lone Ranger.

Great.  Another potential system that I’d like to play, physical edition came in on Friday.

Maybe I’ll just start rolling characters in these systems and play the one that interests me the most.

Close But Indecisive

I’ve hit a snag as I’ve been finishing up reading the Mythic Game Master Emulator.

I can’t decide which system I want to run first.

I thought I had settled on either Dragonbane or Covert Ops, but I’m feeling the pull of something simple/familiar with 5th Edition D&D , Top Secret New World Order, and a couple of others.

I’ll get it all sorted out, eventually.
