With specific examples from and focus on Mythras, Ubiquity, and FFG Star Wars, this video goes into some justifications for Mook rules in RPGs. What are they for? How can they differ from game to game? Why do some gamers dislike them?

This topic was released simultaneously on the Casting Shadows Podcast where it is a part of an ongoing series on Heroic Pulps and RPGs, in-character as-character play, and the give and take of fear in play reliant on preparation for improvisation.

If you prefer to listen to this as a podcast you can find it in most podcatchers, but the best one for interacting with me directly via voice message is Anchor:
