The world’s myths never died. They just went underground.

---

Now funding over on Kickstarter, Royal Society of Mythology from Ace licensee, Fainting Goat Games, is a Modern Arcana Mini-Setting for Savage Worlds.

Every culture tells stories of things that couldn’t possibly exist—creatures and relics so powerful they were woven into legend. Most people dismiss these tales as superstition or metaphor. But the Royal Society of Mythology knows better. And so do its rivals.

Royal Society of Mythology is a 34-page PDF mini-setting for Savage Worlds, packed with mythic intrigue, shadowy factions, and globe-spanning action. You play agents of a secret society dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the world’s folklore—and keeping that truth out of the wrong hands.

One week you’re navigating jungle ruins. The next, you’re bidding on dragon teeth at a black-market auction in Istanbul. Then it’s off to Iceland to negotiate with a very real and very territorial troll.

This 34-page PDF mini-setting includes everything you need to launch your team of myth-hunters into a world of hidden creatures, arcane artifacts, and globe-spanning intrigue:

• A complete Modern Arcana mini-setting for Savage Worlds
• Rules and guidance for running Myth Hunts: rich, flexible missions blending exploration, action, investigation, and moral choices
• New Edges, Hindrances, and gear for field agents and lore-seekers
• Organizational rules and sample Expedition Teams for the Royal Society of Mythology
• Full writeups for rival factions: ASF, The Order, The Phoenix Group, The Conclave, and more
• Story hooks, random complications, and a tone that blends X-Files with Indiana Jones, wrapped in in the vibe of a BBC documentary about things that shouldn’t exist

Visit the Kickstarter page now to pledge your support for Royal Society of Mythology and be sure to catch this week’s SavageUniverse livestream featuring the writer of this mini-setting, James Laird Davenport. Find it on our official Twitch channel this Thursday starting at 7 p.m. Eastern!
