Hi there,
I am a Scottish GM in the UK looking for players. I am an old 80s gamer, so expect my games to be adult, therefore, no juveniles.
If you are looking to be more than just another wizard throwing fireballs or cleric of another anonymous god running about curing wounds by the thousand on the warriors then Mythras is for you. In Mythras you can sculpt the spells you know and develop your own unique fighting styles. Of course, this does not mean you cannot be that very type of character.
I run a Harn campaign using the Mythras Rules, with the Harnmaster magic system. If you have ever played Harnmaster you will likely understand why I would choose not to use its combat system. My current game has now been going for 2 years and I have decided it is time to run a second game running on alternate Saturdays from 19:00 to 23:00 GMT or BST depending on the time of year.
For those 5e players out there who have no idea what I am talking about when mentioning Harn and Mythras, then here is a quick brief.
MYTHRAS is the most recent incarnation of a long line of similar games, descended from the venerable, yet still very well regarded RUNEQUEST and Basic Roleplaying. The core rules are straightforward and intuitive; usually, a player rolls d100 and aims to score equal to, or less than, a value (skill or passion, for instance) on his or her character sheet that represents a certain chance of success. However, the game includes many rules that add greater depth, modify results or enhance the play experience.
CHARACTER CONCEPT is where Mythras is the most different from D&D. There are no character classes, however, this does not mean that your character cannot embody a classic D&D character class. If you want to be a hardened warrior, fierce barbarian or a young naive wizard, then the skill system allows you to form your character to reflect these concepts.
The game world of Hârn is a rough, hazy, forested island about 100 miles off the northwest coast of the continent of Lythia on the edge of the Haonic Ocean. It is a wild, dangerous land, where pockets of civilization are surrounded by large tracts of wilderness. It is a land of feudal kingdoms, religious turmoil, savage monsters, noble knights, beleaguered peasants, industrious craftsmen, barbaric tribesmen, and secretive wizards. While Hârn contains unique cultures and creatures, its closest historical equivalent is 9th to 14th century Britain. Elements from this entire period may be found. The prevailing form of government in civilized Hârn is feudalism. All land is owned by the king, who then grants fiefs to trusted magnates to provide for local government and defence.
So, if you fancy yourself as an Arthur, Sigmund or Merlin, then Harn could be the place for you.
I live in Scotland, so times will be GMT, or BST (GMT+1) depending on the time of year. I will be looking to run a game once a fortnight Saturday from 19:00 to 23:00. The weekend times will be more suitable to those of you in the States where it will be the afternoon.
PM me for more information and I will link my campaign guides and game guides.
FGU does not officially support the Mythras system. However, I have created a mod for the CoreRPG system. If you want a look then it can be downloaded here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?68182-Mythras-Ruleset-Mod.
Mythras.pak is the Ruleset, and Lonarandir's Mod 3.0 zip, which has two modules. First is the Mythras Imperative, and second is the Lona's Mod guide. Create a campaign using the Mythras ruleset and open the Mythras Imperative to read the introductory ruleset for Mythras, and the Lona's mod instructions on how to use my mod.
If you would like a look at my desktop, and what you will be presented with, the take a look here.

If you want to know more about Harn, then this video gives a good primer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68UeNySToBI.
So please, feel free to contact me if this interests you, or would like some more information.
I use Fantasy Grounds Unity, for which I have an Ultimate License, and I use discord for comms, and Syrinscape, which I also have an Ultimate license for that I use for ingame sound.
