Mythomorphosis: Second Edition

The story of Little Red Riding Hood was first told sometime in the 10th century by European peasants. It was passed down by oral tradition until the 17th century when a written version was popularized by Charles Perrault. It wasn’t until the 19th century, however, that the Brothers Grimm created their version of the story, which remains one of the best-known today. Little Red Riding Hood’s phylogeny includes hundreds of variants, with some varying greatly and some hardly at all. In another few centuries the story will likely diverge even further from its source. 

Stories evolve over time, influenced by the people who tell them, record them, and adapt them into new forms. And as society changes, so do our stories. 

But for every story we remember, dozens more might be forgotten. 

How many stories have been lost to time?

--------------------------------------------

Mythomorphosis is a collaborative storytelling tabletop roleplaying game about how stories change over generations.

You'll create a society, then create a central myth that that society tells. Over the course of five generations you'll decide how that myth changes in reaction to historical events that define each generation.  

Mythomorphosis is a genre-agnostic game. You can tell myths about fantastic heroes of old, far-future spacefaring missions, urban legends that spread like wildfire on the internet, or anything else you can think of.

Which parts of the story will your society pass on? 
What will they immortalize in writing, statue, and tapestry?

Which parts will they change, as their world changes? 
What will their new rituals be after war, famine, or revolution?

Which parts will be lost as they are forgotten? 
Will they abandon their heroes and let their gods die out?
