“Before there was bread, there were gods; before there were gods, there was you.”


Set in the world before the great myths. Cities have only just started to come into being. Agriculture is still in its infancy. Stone and copper tools are still widespread and very much a part of daily life. Bronze is considered a gift from beings of worship, steel is considered sacred and magical, people are still one with the land, and great tyrannical beasts roam the world. Welcome to the Neomythic Era, where spirits become deities, and men become Gods.

From Best Copper, Neomythic is a collaborative story telling game where the players take the role of tribal warriors at the dawn of civilization. Your players will need to travel far from home to achieve greatness and make a name for themselves in the annals of history.

Neomythic is a system that is designed to be as light as possible when it comes to written rules without compromising the classical feel of a traditional tabletop RPG. The system draws inspiration from Cairn (Cairn Press), Into the ODD (Free League Publishing), The Black Hack (Gold Piece Publications),Knave 2e (Questing Beast Games), as well as old school White Box D&D (Gygax & Arneson) of old.

The collection features:

  • Digital and printable versions of The GM's Book, The Players' Book, The Treasure Book and all three Monster Books, as well as Character Sheets and a Quick Reference Sheet.
  • 100 Benevolent Spells, 100 Occult Spells, 100 Feats, 100 Magic Items, 100 Trinkets and many other random tables.
  •  A unique experience system where your failures make your character stronger.
  • Genuine historical facts.
  • A combat system that favors the players with over 200 unique stat blocks for humans, animals, dinosaurs and mythological monsters.
  • 170 weapon customization options

This is only a play-test before we release the final version. Email bestcopper@metalfan.com if you have any questions, queries or concerns.
