        If you’re interested in hearing it played, I would highly recommend the podcast “Spout Lore”. They, in my opinion, are the platonic ideal of how to play a PbtA game, which is to mostly ignore the rules and bang them into a shape that fits the fiction, rather than the other way around. PbtA games are meant to be unbalanced, I think, because fiction tends to favor the protagonists.

    I have both editions (1st and 2nd) of the Mythic GME, but I’ve only tried the first one. The second one (the one you linked) does look very promising though, and I know a lot of people have had very good results with the first one.

      I’m legitimately quite impressed with it. It’s very well written, and the system is simple enough to be rapidly applied effectively. It feels a lot like having someone to bounce ideas off of and occasionally surprise you. I’m also getting ready to run a game of Beam Saber with a couple of friends, using Mythic. Very excited to see how a “writer’s room” approach to roleplaying will go.
