D&D: Expand Your Mythic Encounters Twelvefold With This New Book
Theros introduced mythic monsters, but only had enough room for three. Get twelve times as many–and new boons, spells, and more, in this new book.
The new mythic monster mechanics introduced in the Mythic Odysseys of Theros are some of my favorite new rules. They give you a toolkit you can use to create new kinds of encounters, to field encounters with a little more power, and this new supplement from the DMs Guild introduces twelve times as many Mythic Monsters as there were in Theros. That’s 36 monsters with at least one extra phase, deadly new abilities, and, excitingly for players, new rewards when you take them down. You’ll find new Mythic Spells and Mythic Items waiting inside the pages… as well as some familiar faces reimagined. Here’s a look at a revised Acererak:
You can see he’s got new abilities, a new Mythic Trait that transforms him into a demilich, and a whole lot more. That’s an encounter I’m excited to run, and there are thirty-five more waiting inside.

Mythic Encounters – $14.95
First introduced in Mythic Odyssey’s of Theros, a Mythic Encounter is an optional rule you can apply to a creature which increases the difficulty. This takes the form of a Mythic Trait, which triggers most often on reducing the creature to 0 hit points. After which, it transforms, musters its strength, or exposes a new objective—extending the fight and unlocking new powers and abilities for the creature.
