Description

Creation Myths is a solo journeying game based on the hero's journey/monomyth narrative template.

It is designed to help you dive deeper into character creation through the development of a backstory adventure via dice and prompts, and to provide you with new things to think about. It can also work as a way to redevelop existing characters and generate fresh ideas. With multiple modes of play available, all you need is a set of dice and somewhere to write. Let your imagination do the rest!

Getting Started

To play Creation Myths, you only need a copy of the book plus the following:
1. A character idea - this could be a brand new character or one you're already familiar with.
2. A set of polyhedral dice, or an online dice roller of your choice
3. Somewhere to write your story - whether that is a journal, a word processor or online document. A journey sheet is provided to help you mark off prompts and make notes as needed.
Contents

The ZIP file includes full colour PDFs in both spreads and pages format, a 'light mode' greyscale printer friendly version, and a plain text version of the game. It also includes journey tracking sheets in both printable and fillable PDF format.
