Going to try to get the word out early this time, to increase turnout and generate a great deal more discussion.

The next Round Table is tentatively set for Saturday, May 24th, at 6 PM Central Time (GMT-6).  The date and time are subject to change as the event approaches, but will be this next weekend.  So, you have a week to think up the ideas you want to discuss regarding Round Table #2’s overarching topic: Crafting!

I’ve gone ahead and outlined a general flow of talking points ahead of time this time, to avoid the chaotic start the last Round Table ended up having.  So, here it is, Mythos Conclave’s Round Table #2 Outline:

Topic #1: Crafting, a Skill-Based Endeavor
Topic #2: Crafted Items
Topic #3: Ingredients, Ingredients, Ingredients!
Topic #4: Crafting Quests
Topic #5: The Disciplines
Topic #6: Recipes?  Psh, who needs instructions?
Topic #7: Potions, Bandages, and Grenades!
Topic #8: Heraldries
Topic #9: Trinkets — Necklaces and Rings

If the date or time changes, I will post an update, so keep your eyes and ears open on either the Mythos Conclave, or on the official forums’ General Discussion subforum.

Hope to see you there!

A new trailer has sprung up for the Overworld that is being added to Mythos. No longer will the game be an amalgam of segmented instances that make some loose form of a world, there will now be an overlaying, contiguous “overworld” map for each Zone. Along with this comes an amazing graphical overhaul of Stonehill (that can be seen in the video) and an announcement that “Open Beta nears.”

All of this is great news for that little Tugboat game we’ve all been following for the last year and 4 months, which continues to pull in larger and larger crowds of a barge behind it.

Thanks to “Defens” of the official Mythos forums for the heads up for this video, mythos.4players.de for hosting the video, and thanks to Flagship Studios for making the video! :-D

Well, now that the Mythos Conclave is in public light…

We are proud to present its entry into the Mythos Fansite Community with a community-wide event, to which everyone is invited!

Introducing the Mythos Conclave Round Table, an IRC open discussion regarding individual Mythos gameplay mechanics and elements. Each encounter at the Round Table will feature a new topic, with our first topic being the latest news on Mythos’ development cycle: The Overworld.

The discussion will begin at Saturday, May 10th at 7 PM Eastern Time (GMT-5) and will run for about an hour.

Everyone who is a fan of Mythos, whether in Beta, waiting for an invite, or even on the Development team will be invited to attend.

So what, exactly, is this Round Table discussion?

Basically, it is an open, topical discussion on an aspect of Mythos. Everyone who attends is welcome to watch, but encouraged to chime in and express his or her viewpoint on the subject.

The goal of the discussion is to gather a pool of information and form a general consensus of player and fan opinions regarding important MMO or Action-RPG gameplay mechanics, how they are implemented in Mythos, and how they affect the game. All devevelopers able to attend will also be encouraged to join the conversation, discussing what they seek when playing online games or what they would like to see in that topic out of Mythos in the future (regardless of if it actually is planned or not).

Essentially, this event is a community event to serve as a dual purpose to announce the Mythos Conclave’s entry into the community and welcome passionate players to share their viewpoints on the game.

All information discussed in the Conclave’s Round Table will be logged and posted on the Conclave after the discussion.

So we look forward to seeing you in the Mythos IRC Saturday night at 7 PM Eastern Time for the Mythos Conclave Round Table! (I’ll add a Java Link when I can find it again.)
