Setting Up a Prepared Adventure in the Mythic GME Apps

Playing a prepared adventure (like a published D&D module) with Mythic requires just a few simple setup steps. The app includes special features designed specifically for this play style.

Step 1: Change Your Event Focus Table

The first thing you’ll need to do is switch to the Prepared Adventure Event Focus Table.

1. On a phone, open the drawer, tap SETTINGS, choose the Game Behavior tab, and find Event Focus Table in the Fate Chart section. You can also tap the gear on the Fate screen, which shows the same Event Focus Table control.
2. Select Prepared Adventure Event Focus Table

This special table removes events that the published adventure already handles (like “Move Toward a Thread” or “New NPC”) and adds Adventure Feature as a possible Random Event. This keeps Mythic from overriding the adventure’s structure while still providing surprises and GM emulation.

Step 2: Populate Your Features List

The Features List (shown in the Lists section) is where you’ll track unique elements from your prepared adventure that could appear as Random Events.

Add items like:

• Wandering monster encounters
• Special environmental hazards
• Random visions or dreams
• Sudden NPC appearances
• Random encounter tables from the adventure
• Special mechanics (poison progression, pursuit by villains, etc.)

Example: In a vampire hunting adventure, you might add:

• “Vampire lord attacks”
• “Random vision”
• “Wandering monster”
• “Weather worsens”

When you roll Adventure Feature as a Random Event, the app rolls your Features list and shows the entry in the Adventure Log. If the roll lands on an empty line it shows Choose, and you pick an entry yourself.

Step 3: Set Up Your Other Lists

As you read the introduction of your prepared adventure:

• Add important NPCs to your Characters List
• Add plot hooks and objectives to your Threads List

This primes Mythic to generate Random Events that feel appropriate to the adventure’s tone and setting.

Important Notes

Prepared Adventures use a modified scene structure:

• Use Expected Scenes normally
• No Altered Scenes
• No Interrupt Scenes
• Random Events are added to Expected Scenes (not replacing them)
• The Scene Adjust button is hidden while a prepared table is selected. To show it, turn off Hide Scene Adjust in Prepared Adventures.

These rules apply while the Prepared Adventure Event Focus Table is selected. Select another Event Focus table to get Altered Scene and Interrupt Scene results back.

When you tap Scene Check and the roll is at or under the Chaos Factor, the app adds a Random Event to the same Adventure Log entry. Carry on with your Expected Scene and do not roll another Random Event. The Random Event adds a twist without derailing the prepared adventure.
