MMUGS High Fantasy Available Now

 

Hi everyone! I mentioned in an earlier post that I was working on adapting my MMUGS system into different kinds of settings and genres. Today I released MMUGS High Fantasy, using the MMUGS system from my superhero game Mighty Marvelous and adapting it to a high fantasy setting.

MMUGS is about customization. In MMUGS High Fantasy, you create your very own fantasy world populated with your own fantasy species. You develop your own hex map full of locations, danger, and adventure. You can even create your own magic.

Of course, if you just want to jump into the action, sample spells and fantasy species are provided for you.

The theme of High Fantasy is prevalent throughout the book, just like the theme of superheroes was prevalent throughout Mighty Marvelous. Most of the mechanics work the same, although there are a few new mechanics to work with. There’s also plenty of advice and tips for getting started and what to do when you’re stuck writing the narrative.

At its heart, MMUGS is a creative journaling game. That can look like a detailed diary entry, simple notes, or a novelization of your adventures as you play the game. The important thing about MMUGS is that you create a cohesive story that you want to return to time and time again.

High Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. It’s not really restrictive; the possibilities are endless. Magic, romance, peril, betrayal, complex themes, deep character studies…All of these are possible in a High Fantasy setting.

MMUGS High Fantasy is built from the ground up to be played solo, but you don’t have to adventure alone. You can bring along mercenaries and retainers with you as you delve into dungeons or fight dastardly Minions.

Also introduced in this game that wasn’t in Mighty Marvelous is currency. You have to pay your mercenaries and retainers something, after all. There is also equipment for you to purchase that may enhance certain Skills.

Hopefully you will have fun with MMUGS High Fantasy. I certainly had fun writing it and playtesting it. Be on the lookout for more MMUGS genres and settings in the future.

Also, a big shoutout to everyone who has bought Mighty Marvelous! Thank you! As of this writing, I’m in the top 100 of drivethrurpg’s Most Popular Under $5 tab on their website and app! I’m really excited to see what the future holds!
