    That three-way conversation between Simon, Edbert, and Arn was *epic*. It was meaningful and made complete sense with the characters. You could see them all grow as individuals. You are a top-notch artist, sir!

    i like the idea of edbert being semi-aware of the games meta mechanics. characters with a supernatural element leaning on the fourth wall is a fiction staple.

    That was great when the Irish warrior interrupted Simon and the bounty hunter at 11:07 to clarify that it was, in fact, he who came to the rescue initially. That was a nice touch, and I appreciate your adherence to continuity with well-timed humor.

    Look, Trevor, I'm a complete newb to pen and paper rpgs, and I found your channel looking for an example of an Ironsworn campaign to eventually play by myself, and for some reason I started off with season 1, and I'm 12 episodes in now, and there's no escape, and I'm learning Savage Worlds instead. Nevermind, just enjoy the journey :)

    Over a half-an-hour episode! Love it. And the cliffhangers are working, as I'm always needing to know what'll happen next. I'm still so impressed how well the story is coming together with just random rolls. Arn's arc of slowly gaining more and more trust in Simon until he eventually cracks and admits he was in the wrong felt like it had been in planned since the very first episode, but of course if the die had rolled differently any number of times, he'd've had a totally different one.

    Your chaos factor interrupts/altered scenes were SUPER helpful to me. I've been struggling with that aspect of Mythic since I switched from Conjectural GM Emulator. It's enjoyable to watch your thought process and how fluidly you switch from logic or inspiration to the random tables. Every now and then I'll hit an altered scene and wrack my brain trying to figure out how to do so, or how to apply the random focus to the particular scene. Thanks for doing this! I look forward to every Monday for the new episode!

    I watched the second season before the first season. I am happy to see how Arn was created from an extra to a full fledged character. I can say that this show is my favorite show of all time. It has everything I want. The best gm and player, amazing quality and editing and rpg. I wish you keep doing this forever. I wish someday I will be able to financially support the show as well.

    I think rather than try to attack them directly, Possessed Cherlyn would be smarter to try to lead Simon, Edbert and Arne into some sort of danger.

    Oh man, I feel like that was a very good example of how to end a thread due to a random event roll! Despite it ending due to a random roll, it still felt satisfying, primarily because of how creative you are. I'll make sure to apply all that I'm learning here to my first campaign, and I'll definitely recommend this channel if someone ever asks me about solo roleplaying.

    I love the show, but... is a little bit of rules-lawyering allowed? This time about Mythic. Wouldn't the Flash Flood be, indeed, an interruption and not an alteration of the scene? The alteration would've been that the temple is not there anymore or something similar. But hey, your game and your interpretation. I like what you are doing, anyways.

    • @MeMyselfandDieRPG
      @MeMyselfandDieRPG  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's all personal interpretation. I saw it as they were going to get to the temple unimpeded, but an altered scene meant that something gets in their way that isn't a brand new scene rolled with event subjects. The first thing that came to mind was a flash flood. That's the beauty of Mythic - no two GM's/players will interpret things exactly the same way, and as long as you're obeying the spirit of the rules, there are no "wrong" interpretations.

    The interplay between Simon and Arne. 🥹

Sure, it might be a bit cliche, but the mysterious polyhedron overlords might randomly decide that is the route the story goes. Guess I'll find out over the next few episodes. 😂
