About the adventure
This beginner-friendly one-shot teaches Mythras through play. Instead of front-loading a pile of rules, we learn the system by using it in a grounded adventure full of hard choices, dangerous combat, and meaningful consequences. You will get a real feel for what makes Mythras different: opposed rolls, passions, tactical fights, and a world where smart play matters. New players are absolutely welcome. I will guide the rules as we go, explain what matters when it matters, and make sure you can focus on playing rather than drowning in mechanics. This is a good fit for anyone curious about Mythras, whether you are completely new to it, or an experienced RPG player looking for a more serious and grounded alternative.

About me
Hi I'm Alex, I've been playing or running Tabeltop RPG games since about 1982 in one form or another. I have a wealth of experience with many of the most popular systems and quite a few obscure ones, but nowadays I tend to gravitate to d100 systems. I tend to go by the moniker 'The Maze Controller' (iykyk) when playing or GMing. As a loose confederation I brand my groups under the title of 'Bad Wrong Fun'. (Again - iykyk) Nowadays I tend to run games online, With my preferred VTT being Tabletop Simulator, supporting the table with a variety of skills. I indulge in most anything needed. Trying my hand at writing, voice acting, drawing, light coding, even some 3d modelling to maintain a true tabletop feel.

What Maze Controller brings to the table
We provide a beginner-friendly Mythras one-shot built to teach the system through play. Expect clear guidance, patient rules support, and an adventure designed to highlight what makes Mythras stand out: opposed rolls, passions, dangerous combat, meaningful choices, and grounded consequences. My style emphasizes player agency, smart play, and situations where roleplay, planning, and problem-solving matter as much as combat skill. I stay fairly close to the rules as written, but always with the goal of making the system understandable and approachable for new players. Pre gen characters will be provided, and questions are always welcome.
