Starting from 2.5.0+, Mythic GME Tools automatically opens a panel with all mechanics ready to be played from the get-go. No setup required.
This modules provides all mythic rules in the form of Macros. You can use them in whatever RPG system you like in any world.
To manually import Macros, enable the module, and then go to the Compendiums tab, you are going to see many compendiums starting with the word Mythic. For starters, the most basic one is Mythic GME Macros. Simply drag and drop them to your Macro Hotbar at the bottom of the screen. Then, just click on them and play!
- One-Click Macros for Mythic GME basic components: Fate Charts, Scene Alteration, Events and Chaos Level
- Mythic Variations #1 Macros for Complex Questions and Backstory Generation plus selectable themed focus tables
- Mythic Variations #2 Macros for Event Checks, Detail and Action questions, Behavior checks and Statistic Checks!
- Saves progress for Chaos Level, Behavior Disposition, Statistic Checks
- Customize all Roll Tables and the Macros will automatically use them!
- Built-in Support for Dice so Nice! taking 3D dice to a flavor-narrative oriented experience
- All Actions translate into the chat for keeping a history of your game. This may also be exported to a Journal.
- Everything is configurable through Mythic GME Tools module settings (such as Focus Tables, and more)
- Support for non-Mythic solo games too (Such as my Plot Unfolding Machine)
These macros provide complex functionalities summarized in a one-click event. Most of them bring up a Dialog in which the player customizes or elaborates the event.
Selecting a Token will cause the Macros to interact with a Foundry VTT actor, speak on his behalf or even sometimes use its information for better flavor!
- Fate Chart: Rolls on the Fate Chart. Triggers Random Events when appropriate.
- Random Event: Generates a random event.
- Scene Alteration: Checks if the proposed event is still valid. Rolls Random Events when appropriate.
- Increase Chaos Rank
- Decrease Chaos Rank
- Check Chaos Rank
- Complex Questions
- Backstory Generator
- Fate Check
- Event Check
- Detail Check
- Description Question
- Action Question
- Behavior Check - Advanced: This Macro stores disposition information within Tokens!
- Statistic Check - Advanced: This Macro stores the last used Attributes in your game!
This Solo system can be played with Mythic or on its own, and it focuses on placing your PCs into action, Scene by Scene. HERE :)
Check it out if getting stuck in your Solo or GMLess games is an often-issue, because PUM is designed to help with Scene Setup proposals.
Check out the cards section to learn how to configure them.
Check out the cards section to learn how to configure them.
These panels appear by default as soon as the module is enabled, and allow you to play directly from there, without the need of importing Macros.
Click on Configure to switch to alternate layouts, and Export will let you export Chat to Journal.
Create your own Oracles with Random Tables, supporting multiple draws per tables and flavor dialogues
Either from Foundry Random Tables or Tables you have outside (printed, or in a PDF, etc), these macros will help you stay sharp and consistent!
Keep chat consistency by rolling from a Random Table normally with a question (flavor) in mind
Keep chat and overall consistency by rolling tables outside your game as if they belonged here!
- Every Mythic check in Mythic GME Tools produces a flavored, self-explanatory chat message.
- A setting Automatic Adventure Logging (default: disabled) exports all oracle checks to a journal entry.
- Resize sidebar for a bigger chat place with Sidebar Resizer
- A macro Export Chat to Journal allows dumping the current chat into a Journal Entry with a single click.
- Rolling dice with Dice so Nice! module enabled will flavor and slowly produce results as the 3D dice give away their outcomes.
This will help keep track of your emulator's guidance and your game!
Keep your game chat log clear and consistent, add headers, subtitles, and more
You can do this in three ways:
- By clicking on Export in the Mythic Panel
- By using the Macro to export current Chat to a Journal Entry
- By enabling Auto-Logging setting that automatically puts all your chat in a daily journal
There are plenty of configuration options. Go to Module Settings in Foundry and check the Mythic GME Tools section!
Tables necessary to execute the aforementioned macros are included, and may also be used independently.
Macros use Roll Tables. Going to Module Settings lets you choose which tables are used. Table names must begin with Mythic in order to be eligible. By default, Macros pick up Tables by their name, so importing the Tables from the Compendium and making modifications on them, will automatically apply to the Macros that use them. Try to keep the same format of the tables to avoid issues. Delete imported tables to revert Macros to use the original ones.
- Chaos Rank: When changing Chaos Rank, the value will be saved and reused across all functions
- Behavior Checks: Disposition and descriptors are stored within actor tokens, by selecting the token before running the Macro.
- Statistic Checks: Stats are stored within actor tokens, by selecting the token before running the Macro.

This module is developed by me (Saif Ellafi - JeansenVaars) independently, and I hold no business relationship with Word Mill Games. I (Saif Ellafi / @JeansenVaars) was given PERMISSION by Tana Pigeon to distribute this package UNDER STRICT CONSENT of non-commercial distribution within Foundry VTT only.
However you can still Invite me to a Coffee :) if you enjoy my work!
Thanks to JetBrains I can work on this project using WebStorm.
