How to play

Starting from 2.5.0+, Mythic GME Tools automatically opens a panel with all mechanics ready to be played from the get-go. No setup required.

This modules provides all mythic rules in the form of Macros. You can use them in whatever RPG system you like in any world.

To manually import Macros, enable the module, and then go to the Compendiums tab, you are going to see many compendiums starting with the word Mythic. For starters, the most basic one is Mythic GME Macros. Simply drag and drop them to your Macro Hotbar at the bottom of the screen. Then, just click on them and play!

Mythic GME Tools Panel

The main panel of this module allows you to play your favorite GM emulator ruleset with ease.

Click on Configure to switch to alternate GM emulators, and Export will let you export Chat to Journal.

Mythic GM Emulator Rulesets

These macros provide complex functionalities summarized in a one-click event. Most of them bring up a Dialog in which the player customizes or elaborates the event.

Selecting a Token will cause the Macros to interact with a Foundry VTT actor, speak on his behalf or even sometimes use its information for better flavor!

Tricube Tales Countdown Cards

Check out the cards section to learn how to configure them.

The Oracle Builder

Create your own Oracles with Random Tables, supporting multiple draws per tables and flavor dialogues

Rolling your own tables

Either from Foundry Random Tables or Tables you have outside (printed, or in a PDF, etc), these macros will help you stay sharp and consistent!

Flavored Roll Table

Keep chat consistency by rolling from a Random Table normally with a question (flavor) in mind

External Roll Table

Keep chat and overall consistency by rolling tables outside your game as if they belonged here!

Chat and Exporting

General Features

• Every Mythic check in Mythic GME Tools produces a flavored, self-explanatory chat message.
• A setting Automatic Adventure Logging (default: disabled) exports all oracle checks to a journal entry.
• Resize sidebar for a bigger chat place with Sidebar Resizer
• A macro Export Chat to Journal allows dumping the current chat into a Journal Entry with a single click.
• Rolling dice with Dice so Nice! module enabled will flavor and slowly produce results as the 3D dice give away their outcomes.

This will help keep track of your emulator's guidance and your game!

Formatted Message - Send message to the chat with flavor, color and style

Keep your game chat log clear and consistent, add headers, subtitles, and more

Exporting chat records to a Journal Entry

You can do this in three ways:

• By clicking on Export in the Mythic Panel
• By using the Macro to export current Chat to a Journal Entry
• By enabling Auto-Logging setting that automatically puts all your chat in a daily journal

Customizing your playstyle

There are plenty of configuration options. Go to Module Settings in Foundry and check the Mythic GME Tools section!

Tables necessary to execute the aforementioned macros are included, and may also be used independently.

Macros use Roll Tables. Going to Module Settings lets you choose which tables are used. Table names must begin with Mythic in order to be eligible. By default, Macros pick up Tables by their name, so importing the Tables from the Compendium and making modifications on them, will automatically apply to the Macros that use them. Try to keep the same format of the tables to avoid issues. Delete imported tables to revert Macros to use the original ones.

Saved Progress

• Chaos Rank: When changing Chaos Rank, the value will be saved and reused across all functions
• Behavior Checks: Disposition and descriptors are stored within actor tokens, by selecting the token before running the Macro.
• Statistic Checks: Stats are stored within actor tokens, by selecting the token before running the Macro.
