This would be an excellent supplement to use alongside Taiyo no Kiru ( https://itch.io/jam/mythic-bastionland-jam/rate/3813859 ). Thank you!
Had you not done this, it was something I was considering doing myself. These feel well-researched and implemented. Easy include for realms that don't want to stick strictly to more Arthurian-style Myths.
Thank you! I'm curious to know what directions you'd have taken this. Any particular stories you had in mind to adapt/take from?
Of course :)
You hit the really big ones, but there are some obscure Yokai I know a bit about like Hamaguri nyōbō (clam wife) that would have been fun. Given how important birds are in core, I would probably done a variation of the tongue-cut sparrow as well. Now that I think about it, a "festival" themed Myth would have been good too, maybe Tanabata-ish? There's a lot of potential I feel hidden away in the mythos of other cultures that I would really like to see explored more. Did you see the one centered on Korean mythos? Highly recommend it, even if it's rather brief since the creator said they ran out of time (so consider it a teaser).
The one with with knight with the mochi hammer, right? Yea that one was cool.
I compiled a whole list of stories and ideas - the tongue-cut-swallow was on it - and also asked the in-laws for their favourites. Ideas involving torii gates, fox yokai, lion-dogs.
Besides myths, on my list are also a bunch of knights - the traditional samurai, but also warrior-monk, shinobi, etc. Also think some castle, shrine sites would be cool. In fact, I had trouble coming up with a myth for urashima taro, but just today realised it would make an interesting site.
Yes, that's the one!
Exactly, there's a lot of choice. Spoiled for it, really. Next time, right? I like your thoughts on Landmarks and Sites. Would be cool to do almost an adventure booklet and pre-populated realm even.
I've got you followed so if you make more cool stuff I'll see it :)
Another asian themed myth lets gooo i love the art to making it suit with the culture, well done
Thank you! The art is all from the public domain - not my own - so it suits with the culture because it *is* the culture.
As someone from this side of the world, I was not expecting an Asian-themed Myth! Great work on the Myths! I can tell all of them comes from deep admiration and respect towards the culture!
Thank you! It helps to spend time there frequently. 😊🙏
these have great atmosphere!
