The Mythosan Grimoire

I was tweaking the Mythosa climate map and realized I'd never uploaded it here in the first place. I've corrected that issue; it's available now from the Downloads page. In other news, the Codex is being re-organized, and Player's Companion is being updated, and more posts are planned here in the future. Including "Why Race as Class is Superior" and "Reasons Why New Editions of D&D Suck". Stay tuned...

The first post of 2022! Also over six months since the last post; I really need to post more, but I always say that. Anyway, I've updated the Codex, the Player's Companion, and the world map. The changes are summarized below: Removed the "House Rules" page from this blog and moved all that material to the Player's Companion . Added some additional material to the Player's Companion . Moved the Deity summary from the Codex  to the  Player's Companion . Updated the map to move Zarinth and Cythicus, added Var Naroth and the Arcane Sovereignty, and fixed some glitchy labels. Updated the Codex  for the changes to the regions in the Unhallowed Wilds. This should be the last arbitrary change to Mythosa's kingdoms/states; I was never quite happy with the Unhallowed Wilds, but what I have now I like. Things may change in the future, but they will be the result of historical events either due to what happens in our RPG campaigns or the natural progression of ev...

Did a little tweaking of the world map. Nothing really changed, just trying to clean up a few things. It seems Wonderdraft  works a little better on Windows than Mac, so I moved it over there. I also updated the hex grid to use 24 mile hexes rather than 25 mile; this fits in better with the standard 5E normal overland movement (24 miles in a day in non-difficult terrain).  The maps are on the Downloads page.

The new region map for Mythosa has been uploaded to the Downloads page. The regional descriptions will be added to the Codex eventually (for those regions that haven't already been described, such as the Grey Waste or the Varghani Desert).

Another map, this time the world map with a 25-mile hex grid overlaid on the top. You can find it on the Downloads page.

I've added a couple new maps to the  Downloads  page. One is a map of Mythosa with a silhouette of Europe overlaid on it, the other the same but with a map of the continental United States.

I may not have been posting on the blog but I haven’t been idle. I’ve just posted a revised map  and version 1 of the new " Mythosa Cyclopedia ". I’d like to say I’ve tweaked things slightly, but that would be a little inaccurate. But in my defense, that wasn’t my original intention! Below is a long rambling about how this new version came to be. Though I’ve changed Mythosa quite a bit over the years (that’s actually part of the world lore now; the cycle of destruction and rebirth is a central part of a universal "monomyth"), the last incarnation was intended to be the last one. I was happy with the world, but my map looked too amateurish. So I started to look online for someone to hire to make a professional-looking map of Mythosa. In the process I found an application called " Wonderdraft ". I’d never heard of it before, but once I bought it and started using it, I was amazed. This was the mapping program I’d wanted for years, it just didn’t ex...
