I gave a presentation about Mythras at Helsingin Roolipelaajat, HePro, a very active roleplaying society in Helsinki. HePro has about 200 active members, most of them playing the largest RPG around, trying other published games, or experimenting with their own rules. In 2025, there were more than 130 one-shots, 32 short campaigns, 14 long campaigns, and 9 special campaigns run under the HePro banner, with many more games happening around the same community.
This presentation grew out of one long-time GM’s enthusiasm for Mythras. It is meant for GMs and players who are curious about what the system offers: D100 mechanics, skill-based characters, grounded but dramatic combat, and worlds where culture, cults, passions, choices, and consequences all have weight at the table.
It is not an argument that Mythras is better than other games. I still enjoy many different systems even though I run almost purely Mythras, and different tables need different tools. This is simply my attempt to show why Mythras has become my favourite toolkit, what kind of play it encourages, and why it may be worth a closer look for groups who enjoy flexible rules, dangerous situations, and characters shaped by the world around them.
