So Mythic Bastionland is the third game in the Bastionland series.
Sorensen.
Sorensen.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
You play as the Knights of the Realm on an epic quest to seek the myths, honor the seers, and protect the realm.
This is very much an OSR game with a heavy emphasis on exploration and sort of a story engine built into the gameplay itself.
It relies heavily on improv and encourages you to do quite low prep for the game.
And I just think this game is a masterpiece.
And...
I would agree with you wholeheartedly.
Yeah, it's going to be hard for me to find criticisms of this game because I love it so much.
Dolmenwood is my favorite game right now, and I do think there are issues with it.
Mythic Bastion Land is like...
the hot perfect game right
now i think in my opinion no i think it really fulfills that i mean i love this game for a lot of reasons mechanically i like you were talking about with the storytelling engine built in is a really really awesome mechanic for this game But I mean, just from aesthetics alone, that's probably the main reason that drew me into this game.
And Alex Sorensen and his art really embodies that very specific style that old Arthurian texts and illustrations have.
But there's also so many opportunities in the times that I've played this game and ran this game for it to be not as much high Arthurian and more Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
And it can just, but it still has that kind of dark heart of it as well.
And it's just, it makes for such a fun high fantasy kind of game that still has a lot of great stakes and a lot of fun moments overall.
Yeah, I feel like the art is just very much leans into this dark fantasy vibe with this sort of pulp dark fantasy vibe, which I feel like a lot of OSR games try to lean towards because they kind of want to go hand in hand with this nostalgic fantasy and the nostalgic gameplay.
I think it also takes a lot of influences from Elden Ring, which is a really good video game, which is this isn't a video game podcast, but bringing it up more video games all the time.
