#1 jedi123 Oct 24, 2010 15:08:39	I know it doesn't come out till mid november, but I was looking at the origin list for Famine in Far-Go. While most of the origins make sense I'm still not sure what Mythic means? I'm not worried about the specifics but rather the concept behind it. Is it magic, or something else entirely? For that matter what makes a nightmare in a world of mutants? What other origins are a little unspecific with their names, or random ideas do you have for what these origins might entail?

Maybe a Psi origin where you make everyone think you're way awesome, or you have a natural tendency through a subconscious form of probability manipulation to get into heroic situations. It could be "I'm the paragon of whatever my other origin is", or everyone SEES you as some kind of exemplar - of what, I don't know. Hell, it could be you just happen to be some legendary hero from a worldline where that legend was real. As for nightmare, that's easy. Psi - you project nightmares into other's minds. Fear-based origin. Think Scarecrow from batman, but psionic instead of with chemicals. Or the id fiend from Dark Sun.

Where did you get the list of origins for FIF-G?

"The group was later joined by Josh (D&D customer service overlord), playing a plastic manikin possessed by the spirit of a dead barbarian chieftain (using some Famine and Fargo origins—SPOILERS!)" Hmm...it's possible. However plastic is an origin in Famine, as is ectoplasmic (For people who don't know this usually maens ghost), so that seems to be one or the other, or both of those possible origins.
#8 jedi123 Oct 25, 2010 23:35:57	The barbarian seems to have been an ectoplasmic plastic. One of them was a Mythic Entropic, and one of those apparently means he's from the future (I'm thinking Mythic).
#9 ExcalibursZone Oct 25, 2010 23:50:50	Mythic doesn't mean you're from the future, nor does entropic. Mythic is something from the past, a myth or legend. Entropic is of entropy which means it breaks things down. Unless the backstory for said character is that he's from the future...

"The group was later joined by Josh (D&D customer service overlord), playing a plastic manikin possessed by the spirit of a dead barbarian chieftain (using some Famine and Fargo origins—SPOILERS!)" Plastic, sure. But the second one could be Reanimated.
#11 palmerkun Oct 26, 2010 2:16:00	www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/d... Ragnarok, a Mythic Entropic. “A what?” I asked. “From Famine in Far-Go,” Chuck said with pride. “He’s from the future.” Well then...

Entropic is of entropy which means it breaks things down. Unless the backstory for said character is that he's from the future... It could be mythic in the sense that it is legends told about future. It's also possible that the "from the future" could instead be about famine not being released yet. I didn't think it was entropic (cause entropy has no claim to time), which is why I said mythic, but didn't want to exclude it in case they see something in entropic I don't.
