Mythical Heroes is a brand new 5E Living World started by a pair of friends who have probably spent far too much of their lives playing DnD and other TTRPGs.
Systems and Character Guidelines
Our homebrewed world is currently under construction, so this is the perfect opportunity if you are looking to take part in building a collective DnD world and discord community from scratch! We utilize the base 5E rule system, with all the major books, plus two additional homebrew systems:
Inspired by the versatility and increased options of the Gestalt system developed in previous editions of pathfinder, as well as the epic nature of the Mythic system, we have developed the namesake system Mythical Heroes. This system is inspired by the two aforementioned systems, but has stripped out much of the excess power and imbalances to instead focus on increasing build diversity and versatility! In short, players choose two classes at each level, gaining features based on those choices while still maintaining the normal power scaling and bounded accuracy of 5E. For the mythic-inspired portion, each character begins play with a Mythic Item, a special item of the player's choice that grows in power with the player, and is customized to the player's preference with abilities and properties. Full details are documented in our server, which is linked at the end of this post.
The highly popular Pathfinder 3pp system known as Spheres has finally been officially converted for 5E, and we intend to make full use of the system. Developed as a modular system for creating a "build your own" character, we utilize this new and unique subsystem alongside base 5E rules. The system includes base spheres, which each contain a set of themed talents to choose from. Characters can use either the new spheres classes or simply a converted 5E original class, gaining talents to select as they wish and slowly building a unique character that can match any vision or concept. The rules are publicly hosted on the free and legal OGL-licensed wiki linked here if you wish to take a look.
Lore Overview
Our custom world features 6 major Kingdoms: an isolationist and ancient elven kingdom, a reclusive but industrious dwarven nation, a xenophobic and militaristic human one, a freedom-fighting democratic human rebellion, a proud and traditional aquatic nation, and undead island ruled by a lich king who commands the souls of his long-dead ancient citizens. There are also several city states and minor kingdoms in the mix as well, who's descriptions and details are tooo numerous to list.
Rules and Miscellaneous
While our content and server rules are suitable for any age, we are an 18+ server for simplicity's sake. We are US-based and English speaking, and use discord for our community, role-play, and most communication. For sessions, we use both Roll20 and Foundry games/servers, which all our DM's can access and use for their sessions; no additional licenses or subscriptions required! Additionally, all our staff members are allowed and greatly encouraged to be players and participate in their world; staff are given session-equivalent rewards for their contributions to the world as a thank you for their time and energy, and to allow them to balance playing their own characters and creating great sessions!
Conclusion
If any of the above piqued your interest, or if you have cool ideas but don't want to make an entire world by yourself, stop by our discord and say hi! We have no experience requirements and are happy to help any aspiring DM learn the craft and join our team; all we ask is that you have a willingness both to invest in our server and to learn and grow. Our only goal is to create a fantastic and fun experience for all of our community, both now and in the future. We look forward to welcoming you to our growing community. Happy adventuring!
Important Note: Please Read
Rather than overwork our staff team while we build the core of our Living World, we are opting to focus solely on developing lore and mechanics for a short time before we open to players. Therefore, we are not currently running any sessions or encounters, and at this time are only looking for founding DM's and staff members, NOT players. We intend to open in a few weeks to the general playerbase, once we have completed the initial startup tasks and core world development.
