They've earned my apathy.

I don't care anymore. I've been playing this system for decades now. I've been creating user resources and getting new people into the system. I've been a zealous advocate for Mycelica in TTRPG groups and boards across the internet. But ultimately, the people who put time - no. The people who put love and care into this system, the players - they don't get to decide. This is just the way things are now. This is the direction they've decided to take the IP.

They Couldn't Even Bother to Spell Mycelica Right.

I think I need to take a break. To all of you on the forums who I've hung out with and enjoyed the resources I've created, I'm sorry. But I just can't stay here and watch them puppet the corpse of the thing I once loved. It hurts too much.

I haven't been dedicated to the fandom nearly as long as you have, Son, but I do understand how you feel. For what it's worth, I think that the fact that you have been so dedicated and produced so much is more important than anything that they do with the IP now. I could name a dozen franchises that spun out of control, were exploited for cash, and then fell into ruin. Just look what happened to Star Trek, and we know from the developer notes that it was a huge inspiration for this system, right? That doesn't mean that it has to devalue all the meaning and creativity we've taken from it.

The really special thing about Mycelica was what we all did with it, here and elsewhere. The friends we made, the skills we learned - I never would have gotten started on my writing career if it weren't for those first words that I wrote. And you helped me with those, remember?

So if you want to depart from the fandom that's up to you, but I hope you don't feel that all of this wasn't worth it. Because to me, your presence here absolutely was. You were and are valued, and we shouldn't let them take away our love for something precious.

Hey mothers_1st_son! I'm so sorry to hear you say that! You've been a valued community member for years and your resources helped many-a-player, even if sometimes people disagreed with you! Hope you find something to centre yourself with, seeing such change can be hard for something you love!

Oh wow! I haven't played Mycelica in years but still occasionally check these forums and seeing this made me sad. This is definitely troubling development for such a beloved system. Such a shame. Still, I remember my time with it fondly and it still exists, as well as do all the community releases made throughout the years. In fact, I might find my copy of the handbook and run a game for my boyfriend and friends to remember the good old days! Hope everyone who sees this does the same and remember why we loved Mycelica!

Hey, was at an estate sale, they were selling this old dell laptop for like $70 and they forgot to wipe it. Found this doc on the desktop. Did anybody know about this? They spelled Mycelica wrong. Tried to find the gofundme page, but looks like it was reported and taken down around 2024.

Hey Koterie Kid,

I'm glad you're helping your GF get into the game! Mycelica's awesome, and I love to see new people getting into it! Thanks for helping with the outreach effort

she can’t pick between Pleuryke and Lyelli, so she wants a half Pleuryke half Lyelli.

Ultimately, it's going to be up to your Emissary of the Stars on whether to allow something like this. So far as I can tell, there's no supported mechanic for Pleuryke-Lyelli crossbreeding in-system - and the lore seems to suggest that such a pairing would be... highly unusual? At a minimum. I think that Yukino's idea, of a Pleuryke who is interested in the Lyelli and is wearing decorative wings, could be a lore-friendly and unique way to represent your GF's character concept without requiring too much homebrew or systems modification. I approve!

Sure! As I said, I am definitely open to constructive criticism, as long as it's not mean! I'm just not going to respond to any comments that are rude.

Yeah! haha.

Well the first thing I noticed is that you say that Yukino (I assume she's meant to be a Calyptra? Unless your EotS is allowing you to homebrew something) is doing a lot of blushing and flushing in their petals. So far as I know, the Calyptra don't have blood. (unless they've released a new splat book nobody told me about!! ) Feels a little weird for them to be blushing, you know?

Also, there's a couple references to "minutes," "hours," and "weeks" here which don't really match with the established system of timekeeping in Mycelica. Check out Page 97 of the rulebook for the conversion tables - don't really want to waste digital ink on reproducing them here lol.

The stars are changing quickly nowadays.

Do you have a page number reference for this?

Wow. Yukino, just wanted to say, I loved it! Welcome to the forum.

I did notice just a few things where maybe you could benefit from an expert's eye. Let me know if you're interested and I'd be glad to lend my aid.

Beautiful. Definitely going to show this to my gf, she loves fanfic.

Aw, thank you! Maybe this could be the thing that helps her get into the system - I just replied to your other post ^_^; It'd be cool to start a community of fic writers.
