Where do you play?
How often do you play?
Once per month we hold an Open House where people can update their characters, help repair boffer weapons, and hang out with other players.
May through September is the campout season. Full weekend events usually take place once each month in addition to Wednesday events.
All our events can be found on the Mythic Realms Calendar!
Do I have to attend every event?
We try to schedule each storyline one event per month, so if your schedule is limited, then hopefully you can at least attend events for one storyline.
What should I wear when I play?
NPCs are encouraged to wear something comfortable and durable that they can move in easily as they will be putting costumes over their existing clothes.
We suggest that everyone wear sturdy, comfortable shoes that they can run in. Chances are, you’ll be doing a fair amount of it.
How does combat work?
Everyone has a number of hit points (in addition to armor, defenses and combat skills). During combat, PC’s and NPC’s attempt to hit each other with their foam weapons. Each time a person swings their weapon, they state the damage number and damage type of their weapon. If the weapon makes contact with an opponent, that person deducts that number from their current hit points.
Example:
Jane has 5 hit points. Tom swings a sword that does 2 points of normal damage. He says “two normal” and hits Jane. Jane now has 3 hit points left.
Where do I get weapons and costumes?
If you’re shopping online, just do a Google search using keywords like “medieval clothes”, “garb”, or “LARP equipment”.
If you posess the talent and want to make your own costumes, there are many guides online to help you get started.
How do I level up my character?
Non-Player Character (NPC), they begin to accumulate Skill Points. These skill points are spent to increase a character’s
power in many different ways, the primary being through the purchasing of skills. However, a character gains other benefits
as they accumulate skill points, regardless of which skills the character purchases.
For more information, check out our Rulebook!
Character updates are typically done at the montly Open House. Check the Mythic Realms Calendar for info on all our upcoming events.
What are the incentives for playing an NPC?
The following are the rewards that Mythic Realms gives to players who NPC an event from beginning to end. This is one of the many ways we try to say thank you to all of those who step up and help make the game so fantastic. Thank you!

Note: In addition to the rewards mentioned above, bonus Mythic Points are almost always awarded to players who NPC multiple times in a given month, and are also often given to players who go the extra mile when NPCing. We also have a bonus MP program that grants additional MP for people who NPC multiple events in a month on a scaling basis. 2 MP for 1 event, 6 MP for 2 events, 12 MP for 3 events, 20 MP for 4 events, and 30 MP for 5 events. This is in addition to any already received on the module, so it is a great way for people to earn up for those pesky item renewals.
