The Roleplaying Game of Heroic Adventure in the - Mazes ...

2007 Edition Notes & Comments
Mythic Catalogue?
COMING SOON FROM
By old-school standards, the list of mythic items
described in the M&M rules was fairly modest,
especially when compared to the ones found in the
earliest imitations of the game – remember the 921
magic items from Warfare & Wizardry?
Silly Jokes
The Bag of Winds was, of course, the subject of
various gross jokes (sometimes with all-too-vivid
sound effects) by unsavory players - but never in
the presence of female gamers, as noted by an
anonymous Maze Master in his letter to Griffin
magazine, which listed the « 20 Good Reasons to
Get Girls in a Gaming Group ».
Unique Artifacts
Ah, the Head of Orpheus…
The quest for its recovery was the central theme of
my first truly epic M&M campaign as a player.
It sent us into a series of wild adventures across the
Middle Sea, with myriads of perils and monsters
(including a homebrew creature called the Hekkarax
- don’t ask) and a rival group of Atlantean Nobles
who wanted to use the Head as part of some
nefarious (and pretty confused) master plan.
After a dozen sessions (and a few deaths!), we
eventually found the Head and brought it back to a
secret shrine – but not before my own Lyrist
character Eurybiad had (of course) overdosed on its
Wisdom, sinking into a state of dark melancholy. He
was cured by the Divine Intervention of the Muse
Calliope herself - but, hey, that’s another story…
