MASTERS OF MYTHERA
THE PITCH
In the far-flung fantastical world of Mythera, the bones of shattered ages pierce the horizon: crumbling techno-spires, wild crystal forests, deserts of flame and shadow, and jungle-covered ruins brimming with secrets older than memory. Magic hums through the veins of the land, tangled with relics of science so advanced it might as well be sorcery. Villainous warlords born of twisted sorcery and lost science scheme to seize the lost power of the Ancients.
Amid these dark powers, new heroes rise — champions armed with ancient artifacts, primal magic, and unbreakable bonds of loyalty and hope. You will stand against sorcerous tyrants and their minions, mutant beast-kings, and corrupted monsters that would twist the world to their will. You will explore places where the stars once fell, awaken secrets that could change everything, and decide if power is worth the price it demands.
In a Masters of Mythera campaign, your legend is forged in the clash of blade and blaster, in the courage to stand together when all seems lost, and in the belief that even a world torn by eternal strife can still give birth to new myths.

PLAYER PRINCIPLES
Live Up to the Legend — or Break It
You are champions in a world that needs you to be larger than life. Every heroic act, every fateful choice, every sacrifice you make builds your legend — or shows that even a hero can fall short.
Wield Great Power — But Own the Cost
Your might, your magic, your technology from the age before — these gifts are incredible, but they always come with the responsibility of using wisely. Play to see how far your hero will go to protect what matters most, even if it means paying a heavy price.
Find Family in Unlikely Places
Mythera is a land of scattered tribes, wild lands, and hidden ruins. Look for allies where you least expect them — and lean into the bonds that make you more than just lone warriors.
Stand Bright in a World of Twilight
This realm is scarred by ancient cataclysms and cosmic eternal conflict, but hope still burns. Let your choices inspire courage in others. Be the beacon that calls scattered people together — or face the temptation to turn away when the burden feels too heavy to bear.
Seek the Secrets of the Past
The lost ages whisper through ruins, artifacts, and ancient enemies. Chase these secrets boldly — and decide what you do with the terrible truths you uncover.
GM PRINCIPLES
Champion Heroic Deeds and Sacrifice
Put the heroes in situations where only bold, dramatic action can save the day. Highlight the cost of true heroism — sacrifice, tough choices, and standing strong when hope seems lost.
Make the World Larger Than Life
Everything in Mythera is epic: ancient machines hidden in primeval jungles, magic swords forged before the stars were born, villains with skull-faced fortresses. Lean into the spectacle and the scale.
Uncover Secrets of the Lost Age
Weave in the mysteries of the forgotten past. Show how ancient technology, lost lore, and cosmic forces are waiting to be discovered — or unleashed — by those brave (or foolish) enough to seek them.
Let Good and Evil Clash, But Blur the Line
Keep the eternal battle between heroes and villains front and center — but tempt heroes with power that corrupts, or show how evil can twist the good. Make players wrestle with the responsibility of power.
