Mythras Imperative has been released under ORC rules.
The indomitable Raleel has created SRD version of the newly released Mythras Imperative. Raleel’s version of the SRD has links to MeG and Raleel asked me to create or update few entries in MeG to match the creatures mentioned there.
Here are the updated or new ones:

Seasons of the Dead – that Apocalypse supplement for Mythras has a load of exciting encounters to meet sure to wreak havoc with your exploring party. All of them can be used readily also in fantasy roleplaying game context.
Here are a few:
You better think about the consequences before you unleash the virus ridden or wrath inflicted encounters at the explorers.
Wrath inflicted can easily destroy a party or even an island….
These aliens can make life very difficult if you let them spread.
Where is Ripley when you need her.

Here is a hyper linked version of Visual Offensive and Defensive Special Effects. Click on the special effect name and you get to a page where you will see a single page explains the special effect. Examples below. Both the defensive and offensive special effects are now on the same file. This file is meant for online use.
There exists separately Combat Offensive and Defensive Special effects in condensed form to print out. See Mythras Charts and Tables page. One handy way of using is to print out the mind map forms on paper and then separately the condensed format and keep it near.
Other way is to use this file here for pure online use – they contain the same information.
The main topic for this is here and you will find other useful Mythras Charts here
Sometimes the opponent is significantly weaker or stronger than you. Then the raw strength and size starts to matter in some of the special effects where brawn is involved as this could be considered contest of strength.
Here are the updated visual tactics
Fighting against a gorilla or the strongest and biggest man of the town with this ruling could now become a quite iffy position but also a new lever in tactics. The big one might rely on his strength and start to use predictable special effects that rely on their superior strength and size – the weaker and smaller one can then start using Prepare Counter in devastating ways.
Prepare Counter has these rulings from Pete and Loz:
Prepare Counter allows the user to choose ANY special effect they want. The roll doesn’t matter, but the context does. Thus it doesn’t make sense to choose Maximise Damage if you were parrying at the time. The intent behind the rule was to make the payoff for investing a SE worthwhile and potentially decisive.’
By Pete https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/designmechanism/viewtopic.php?p=21714#p21714
‘You can actually choose attacker AND defender effects. The rule specifically allows for Offensive and Defensive effects to be chosen. So yes, you could use it with Bash, but it would need the right conditions for it to be truly effective.’
Loz at Design Mechanism forums
Found several interesting articles that one can reflect for special effects
Tactics of choosing visual effects is a one pager helping to choose the effects originally published here
Choosing offensive special effects is here and defensive special effects here.
The new version is updated with the feedback of users. There is now a blue asterisk on all the special effects that will be opposed immediately by the opponent

Here is a probably incomplete list of monster sources (bestiaries) usable in Mythras.
Almost any d100 game creatures can be easily dropped into Mythras with minimal or no modifications. Mythras Encounter Generator has already stats for majority of sources.
If you can get your hands to copy of RQ6 Adventures in Glorantha 86+ creatures and spirits in addition. If not they are all in the RQ bestiaries below and statted in MeG
Things one can readily use are any d100 books with minimal mods
Any RQ or RQG book of any era for example
Mythras Encounter Generator has stats for 4250+ 4500+ encounters including all of the above (except Book of Schemes, Unearthed Arcana, Mythic Polynesia, Legends 2 and Malleus Monstrorum at the moment), if something is missing it is easy to add.
Big Damn Book of Monsters 448 pages of D&D monsters statted for BRP – which could be used in Mythras. These have no stats in MeG so far. from the blurb in it “I did, however, do my best to convert most of the critters from an old school Monster Manual I, Monster Manual II, and Fiend Folio to be playable in my favorite Roleplaying System. I did use characteristics (that I agreed with) from current sources as well, to try to maintain some consistency, but this was not always agreeable.” This book is no longer available from any source.
