Storytelling in Pathfinder 2e Remastered: Using Mythic Rules
15Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Welcome to the long overdue return of my Storytelling in Pathfinder 2e series, where I take a look at the tips, tricks, & advice that Paizo offers storytellers in Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Today, we're taking a look at the new Mythic Rules from War of Immortals from the perspective of the Game Master.
In Pathfinder 1st Edition, Mythic Rules were fun, but also notoriously unbalanced, leading many GMs to fear the arrival of Mythic options in Pathfinder 2nd Edition. On top of these concerns, War of Immortals is a predominantly "Player-Facing" product, meaning that very little space is dedicated specifically to storytellers.
What is a Pathfinder 2e GM to do with all of these new Mythic Rules & options? How can you effectively use the new Mythic Rules to enhance your games without destroying your planning process? Where should your focus be if you want to get the most out of these new options?
In this video, I will highlight the sections of War of Immortals that I believe are the most beneficial for Storytellers - and I will highlight many of the critical pieces of advice that Paizo offers 2e Storytellers! I will also explain how the content in War of Immortals connects to existing GM content in the GM Core Rulebook.
