ABOUT US

TWO NERDS, ONE QUEST…

NOT TOO LONG AFTER WE MET, the dice started rolling

Once we sat down and played our first FEW SESSIONS together, WE KNEW WE WERE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING BIG

We realised we shared a love for storytelling, problem-solving, and the absolute chaos that comes with a great session of D&D

From there, WE STARTED SCHEMING…

AND SO CAME THE BIRTH OF MYTHIC ARCANUM. built from scratch, fuelled by passion, and aimed at helping others have just as much fun with their games as we do

One of us has been BASKING in the world of D&D for years, creating homebrew content, running campaigns, and somehow always remembering the rules (SAM)

The other is new to the game, learning the ropes one chaotic session at a time and asking the SAME questions AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN (ALEX)

Our combined perspectives help us create content that’s not only rich and imaginative but also easy to understand and genuinely helpful

We’re not a faceless brand, we’re just two people building the kind of D&D sPACE we always wished existed

THE QUEST…

So, what are you actually looking at?

Honestly, everything we wish already existed (AND maybe the odd bit that already exists, for convenience)

We looked around at lots of stuff already out there, and used some tools to help us learn how to play, but non of it really cut our mustard

AND SO WE ACCEPTED THE QUEST. WE slammed open our laptops and started coOKING up OUR OWN LITTLE NUMBER… MYTHIC ARCANUM

it’s OUR living, BREATHING, EVER EXPANDING MARK ON THE TTRPG REALM

We’re talking guides that don’t bore/CONFUSE you to death, tools that actually make life easier, and homebrew content WORTHY ENOUGH FOR ANY TABLE

AND LOTS MORE TO SPRINKLE ON TOP

We’re two BRITISH LADS with a shared obsession and a completely unreasonable amount of energy

And we’re throwing everything we’ve got into making this the kind of place you bookmark, share, and shout about across the table

WE AIN’T STOPPING

We’re building this beast from scratch, just the two of us, armed with nothing but raw passion, stubbornness, and way too many tabs open on “how to code that thing we just thought of”

Neither of us came into this as web developers or business wizards

We started with big ideas, zero experience, and an unhealthy amount of enthusiasm… and we’ve been learning, breaking stuff, fixing stuff, and making magic ever since

There’s always more coming. We’re constantly scheming, tweaking, building, testing, and scribbling new ideas

Every single week, we’re adding new content, improving what’s already there, and planning wild expansions to blow the gM’s screen off its hinges

BIG SHOUTOUT TO THE AMAZING FOLKS AT NATURALCRIT FOR THEIR AMAZING TOOL THAT ALLOWS US TO BRING OUR IDEAS TO LIFE!!

Oh, but you can, dear adventurer, You absolutely can

Got feedback? Suggestions? Wild homebrew ideas? A burning desire to tell us your bard died trying to seduce a dragon?

GIVE IT TO US! SLAP US AN EMAIL AT contactus@mythicarcanum.com and we’ll read every word

And don’t even get us started on Beyond the Final Roll. WE’RE DYING TO SEE WHERE THIS FEATURE CAN GO

WE’RE PLEADING FOR YOUR Help TO honour those epic, ridiculous, and tragic heroes by sharing their tales and making them A PIECE OF LASTING HISTORY

DO THE RIGHT THING… LAY YOUR FALLEN HEROES TO REST

WE CANNOT EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE ENOUGH FOR YOUR VOICE AND HELP WITH OUR QUEST! BIG LOVE!

SAM

ALEX

Ah yes, the great AI debate

We’ve noticed that some folks see AI-generated art and immediately unsheath their weapons

“You’re ruining the industry,” “Support real artists,” “This is just lazy”

to be fair, we totally understand the frustration. We love artists. We respect the craft. We drool over gorgeous character art just like you do

But here’s the thing: most of those angry voices seem to assume we’re swimming in gold, choosing to keep it stashed away from hard working and talented humans

Spoiler: we’re not

SKINT WITH AMBITION

We’re just two underfunded nerds trying to build something awesome from nothing

No investors. No art budget. No magical vault of coins

Just two guys ROCKING day jobs, BUZZING WITH ENTHUSIASM, pouring every spare moment into Mythic Arcanum

We use AI-generated visuals not because we’re anti-artist, but because we simply can’t afford artists right now

It’s either AI… or stick figures

HOLD YOUR FIRE

here’s the real quest:

we want to grow and thrive to the point where we can hire real, talented artists, pay them properly, and fill this place with breathtaking art

The moment we can swap out AI for human-crafted beauty, we will, and gladly

So if you’re here fuming about our visuals, we hear you. We really do. But we hope you’ll see past the pixels and understand this is our stepping stone, not our endgame

And hey, if you want to see hand-drawn dragons, gorgeously illustrated NPCs, and lovingly rendered taverns sooner rather than *whenever we finally sell enough digital BANGERS to afford a sketch, then you can absolutely help make that happen

Support us, share us, SLAP YOUR CHARACTERS IN THE MYTHIC GRAVEYARD, GET YOUR HANDS ON SOME GOODIES, because the faster Mythic Arcanum grows, the sooner we can start throwing coin at real artists and innovators

Thanks for sticking with us as we level up and if you’re an artist, keep that pencil handy. One day soon, we’re coming for you… with gold in hand and ridiculous ideas in tow
