Notes From Pavis

Mythras system is truly a toolkit. NOMCORSS (NotesFromPavis Opinionated Mythras Campaign Optional Rule Setup Sheet) tries to gather together all the Mythras rules options from all of the Mythras supplements with sensible (perhaps opinionated) default options. Version 1.4 contains now more than 30 new rulings. – the new supplements added are Fioracitta, Mythic Rome and Mythic Constantinople

There are now close to 230 rules which have options that you can select – some with multiple options.

There are now very many tool selections that you can do. Excel filters will be your friend – filter by category, perhaps then by topic. Remember all the edits are done on the first (Main) sheet (do not sort there). All the sorting should be done on Display sheet. 

To help you select here are a few tips and an additional feature. First – select which of the magic systems you want to use. They are the rows marked with orange ones. If you select one or couple of them (by selecting from the green column any choice that is not “No” and not starting with “Standard RAW” – all the choices for any magic system rule choices will be marked “Optional Magic System Chosen”.

Now start selecting any of these “Optional Magic System Chosen” rules. There again if you select an option that is not “No” and not starting with “Standard RAW” the column named “Was there any optional rule chosen (rules that are standard in RAW count as False)” will be automatically marked True.

On the display sheet – there is also a column “Was there any optional rule chosen (rules that are standard in RAW count as False)” Filter by using standard Excel filtering (in Excel the title of the column will contain dropdown” and select “True”. This will now show all the selected optional rules.

It is an excel sheet which gives the GM a worksheet to select which optional rules are in effect in his/her particular campaign. 

You need to have own the various supplements it refers to if you want to use the rules mentioned here (every rule option reference points to the supplement and page).

Someone in the Discord wanted to have a stone articulated plate for a player in his campaign. Tried the Fatigue and Encumbrance Calculator on that and noticed a few flaws in the calculations that become evident at the outer edge of the world. Fixed those with 3.2 version of the calculator

Here is the character I tried this on:

Mythras Campaign Rules Setup Tool helps GMs to select and communicate rules chosen from an array of Mythras supplements. NOMCORSS is now at version 1.2 and has the options found in Shores of Korantia,Bird in the Hand,Taskan Empire,Sorandib and some of the Assabian Rites in there. There are now 120+ selectable rules with a few having more than 2 options for each.

Mythras can be considered as a very flexible toolkit for setting up your campaign. This gives enormous power to shape the campaign rules to fit the campaign content and mood. It also gives new GMs a question: Which options I need to setup and how do I communicate which rules are in effect. Mythras has a large array of settings and scenarios which bring in additional and optional rules and systems. YMMV – Your Mythras May Vary but what can I change and are there any consequences of the change.

To answer this question there is a new tool NOMCORSS (NotesFromPavis Opinionated Mythras Campaign Optional Rule Setup Sheet). It is an excel sheet which gives the GM a worksheet to select which optional rules are in effect in his/her particular campaign.

The first version is for before firepower age campaigns and should contain all RAW options and some popular Mythras house rules and setting rules that you can select for your campaign.

Version 1.4 contains now almost 230 rule selections one can do –

Contains optional rules to select from: Mythras RAW,Mythras Companion,Ships and Seawalls,Monster Island,Firearms,M-Space,Old Bones Setting Up Tasks,Adventures in Glorantha,Shores of Korantia,Bird in the Hand,Taskan Empire,Sorandib,Assabian Rites,Lyonesse,Mythic Britain,Mythic Britain,Perceforest Logres,Waterlands,Perceforest,Mythic Rome,Mythic Constantinople,Fioracitta

Here is an example of opinionated setup for campaign tools.

If you are starting your first campaign with Mythras – you can accept the default rules or just tweak a couple. Tweaking increases color but may increase learning curve for new players. Take a look at judgmental prework effort for GM and learning effort for players columns. You can always add more options later. Mythras is fun with the opinionated defaults as with many of them differing from the defaults.

Due to obscure but documented Excel bug – please do not sort anything on the Main tab. Do all the sorting on the Display tab.

There are now very many tool selections that you can do. Excel filters will be your friend – filter by category, perhaps then by topic. Remember all the edits are done on the first (Main) sheet (do not sort there). All the sorting should be done on Display sheet.

Just select for each of the rows in green column if you want to change the rule from the opinionated default. If there is nothing to select then write to the yellow column row. You can add your comments on the yellow row anyway.

You need to have own the various supplements it refers to if you want to use the rules mentioned here (every rule option reference points to the supplement and page).

Print out the display sheet to your players if you want to.
