City of Mist - The Logoi

[@Seoul_Soldier]

I've had tons of fun with City of Mist, but it definitely should come with a disclaimer. Because your mileage will vary depending on the creative instincts of the players. You could have a "Dresden Files" inspired street wizard who owns a bar that doubles as his location of power, turning it into a sort of neutral ground for all things supernatural... and another guy who's just "Iron Man with more guns" in the same game. Both are valid, but one is 100% more enjoyable to write stories for than the other.

[@remainprofane7732]

That’s a disclaimer for TTRPGs in general, but City of Mist asks a lot more out of you creatively, so such divisions are way more apparant, especially from the GM’s point of view

[@Jaydee8652]

That’s just a general trait of more open systems and I would argue it’s a sign of a good system, the only constraint to creativity is the player themselves.

[@corbinbarron8772]

You’re right... Gun man is so much cooler than whatever that other guy’s rambling about

[@Gabe600]

"iron man with more guns" You mean War Machine?

[@AHerculeanTask]

I too, consider Internet Historian to be like a father figure.

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

Oof RIP to this comment

[@FanOfMostEverything]

This really underscores what you're giving up as you snap up more mythoi. Sure, you grow in mystical power, but by becoming the story, you sacrifice the person you were, piece by piece.

[@mattk2708]

"[darkest oath] or something much darker" But seriously, thank you for turning me on to this game. I absolutely love it.

[@popeofpuns5722]

I like the book, pets in dnd are uber useful. Ive taken to usin an awakened shrub as a shoulder cannon with a wand of magic missiles

[@maxnararo3883]

This video is so good just for character creation for any roleplaying system. So thank you

[@Glazkor]

I always knew Internet Historian was Logan's father.

[@davidcruger717]

love the urban rescue ranch reference 6:49

[@Thiccremoch162]

Your first two city of mist videos inspired me to get both the master of ceremonies guide and player’s guide, and now I’m running a small anthology campaign with it!

[@distance7721]

Someone needs to introduce Runesmith to Godbound: the modular power sets granted by Words function very similarly to the mythical powersets and can create a lot of very interesting builds. Plus, I think the ability to use Dominion to change the world around you might interest him

[@damianotin8417]

Yes, City of Mist needs more representation! I wish some day you streamed a campaign or a one shot. I gotta see how you MC this amazing system!

[@dminard1]

I own the city of mist book. I have read it. I have watched videos like this one about aspects of the game. I still have no idea how the game is played. Imagine someone describing D&D for an hour without mentioning dice. That's how people cover this game.

[@martingon9156]

2d6 plus applicable tags. The moves are in the manual

[@shabbatheguy9607]

As a resident dnd sleeper I understand your confusion. This game seems to invest less in dice rolling and more into creative story telling

[@carllomas4899]

There is only ever one type of dice roll, 2d6 plus tags. What tags you use are decided by the MC or players. It's a rules light system, whereas DND is a rules heavy system. The comparison doesn't really work here.

[@davidedwards2270]

i just watched the way of the house husbaand on netflix now i wanna play him in city of mist if only i had friends who would play with me

[@hixel1268]

There's a subreddit called r/lfg (Looking for Group), you could try there

[@RoughGalaxyYT]

Still can't talk my group into giving this one a shot.

[@kid14346]

Have you made the characters for them? That's how I get players into things.

[@leemurweeks]

Same, at the end of the day, something something it's too open for one of my players to figure out a character idea. So guess I'll cry.

[@lvl3-wizard81]

I just want to say thank you for doing these. I really like this system and I'd probably not have discovered it without you doing your first video on it.

[@hcox5595]

I'm so excited to learn more about city of mist!

[@nolanoleary8654]

Dude da baby mythoi you turn into a car and go real fast when you say "lesgoo"

[@itwasidio1736]

Incredibly cursed, but would be fun to play.

[@cutcutado]

Lesgoo

[@InstantZzz]

I would really appreciate it if you made a video going over making both a MYTHOS and LOGOS specialized character. I've looked through the book and I just can't wrap my hand around it. While it's not particularly 'hard' it's very 'open' with a lot of potential options and I get lost.

[@OpossumPartyy]

[@jadesabre6893]

I love that complete insanity is just a picture of vermin supreme at 4:35

[@xLoLRaven]

I got the book and it does look interesting. I will say that it is MUCH more free form than most RPGs I've played. It feels like you need to write a mini-novel just to get your character up and running. It could be fun, but you'd have to have a group patient enough to actually build their character, and a DM who is fast at improvising due to how loose everyone's powers can be.

[@Fishcrab]

I'd just like to say thanks for your videos. I've tried out city of mist with my dnd group, and its great fun.

[@ethantaylor9613]

Vermin supreme isn’t insane, he’s the sanist man on earth honestly

[@GratiaVOD]

I was really looking forward to this video! Thanks for the information buddy! :)

[@moderncrusader5128]

bruh you got me and my friends addicted to this game. Thank you so much and I hope you make more videos about this game in the future

[@LucasDeziderio]

City of Mist is one of the best RPGs out there! Thank you for putting some of the spotlight on it.

[@Jaydee8652]

5:56, It’s the Count! I love that guy!

[@tulsatrash]

This is facinating.i can't wait for more videos about it.

[@Aerowind]

Nice timing on the video. Having my first session 0 tomorrow with my players so they can create PCs. Definitely showing them this.

[@ironreed2654]

Good to see the videos coming out more regularly again! Hope you made enough to live better/do more with the book!.

[@padraig548]

I dunno if I mentioned it but the mythos video sold me on this game. I am now waiting for the super expensive everything set because I am mildly obsessed. I cannot wait to run this for my friends and family

[@beowulf12343]

I'm in a long running CoM game. If you like role-playing this is the game for you. It is basically role-playing the game, the amount of freedom you have outclasses any other ttrpg I have ever played

[@GumshoeClassic]

I just had the incredibly stupid idea of a character based around the common gag of introducing a gun into fantasy settings. So it's just a person with an unreasonably powerful gun that has the unfortunate "ability" of randomly popping up anywhere. Could be an interesting villian now that I think about it... someone driven mad by living a life filled with uncertainty, by never being sure of what may hapen next, where and when they are currently or whether what they're currently experiencing is ever going to matter again. So they turn to an illusion of a higher power sending them around in a desperate attempt to give their existence a purpose and since the only consistent aspect that always stays with them is the aforementioned firearm... they take it as a sign. And get to work.

[@goop6039]

Perhaps their mythos could be the idea of Chekhov’s Gun. The players are introduced to the character and it is made clear that their gun will go off eventually sometime during the story. Going back to your idea of them teleporting around perhaps that happens the second after they pull the trigger (similar to how the literary device is rarely used more than once in the story). After that you could continue with the idea of them trying to find meaning in why this keeps happening, and that leading them into situations where they are forced to shoot again, or you could have some sort of amnesia element. Then it becomes this tragic cycle where they are forced to keep causing other people pain, and live with the trauma of taking a life. Though if that route were to be taken perhaps there should be some sort of timer before they vanish so that way there is a chance of someone killing them before they teleport (and so that they can sort out all the misery of their existence before it resets). Anyway great idea, sorry for rambling on as I did, and if you do end up using this in a game it would be delightful to hear how that went.

Hey Logan. I was recently watching through evenfall for the first time on arcane arcade and (spoilers) just wanted to say that your performance of stibbles, who was normally the most "I don't give a fuck" through the campaign, during Cor's death and bringing her to the forest was so heart wrenching that I cried, and I am a grown ass man.
