Across the forests of forgotten gods, over the mountains carved with the names of kings, and beneath the seas that remember ancient songs -- a world stirs. It waits for those brave enough to shape the future, to listen to its forgotten voices, and to bring forth its myths through play, passion, and purpose.
Welcome to Myths of Gaea, a tabletop roleplaying game designed for those who crave epic storytelling, rich lore, and the thrill of co-creating a living world. And today marks a milestone in its journey: the official launch of the Myths of Gaea Patreon.
This is more than a funding platform. It's a call to those who want to step beyond the page and into the forge of creation itself. With exclusive rewards, behind-the-scenes access, and creative influence, our Patreon is where adventurers become architects, and supporters become storytellers.
What is Myths of Gaea?
Myths of Gaea is a mythopoeic TTRPG designed from the ground up to honor the traditions of storytelling while forging something entirely new. It's a world where gods are present -- but never predictable. Where magic is sacred, shaped by belief systems and regional practices. Where empires rise from ideology as much as power. And where every player character -- be they wanderer, prophet, or warrior -- can shape the very fate of nations.
What sets Gaea apart is its soul.
Rather than being defined by rigid classes or systems-first mechanics, Myths of Gaea emphasizes player-driven narrative, cultural integration, and emotional depth. You'll craft characters rooted in the world's living history -- each with a purpose beyond combat, each touched by divine myth or cultural legacy.
Players will explore mechanics designed to enhance storytelling:
Divine pacts and mythbound abilities tied to cultural rituals
Species and background derived from oral traditions and ancestral legends
Regional tensions and evolving world politics driven by your group's choices.
This isn't a setting added onto a system -- it's a system designed to bring setting and story to life.
Why Launch a Patreon?
The vision behind Myths of Gaea has always been rooted in community. While we could pursue traditional publishing paths or pitch this world to a major studio, we believe in something different: creating a legacy with the people who care most about the story we're telling.
That's why we chose Patreon
Fueling Creative Independence
By supporting Myths of Gaea through Patreon, you allow the game to grow on its own terms -- without compromise. Every dollar contributed goes toward hiring artists, refining mechanics, expanding content, and ultimately, publishing something beautiful. You ensure that the creative direction is guided by passion, not market constraints.
Co-Creation, Not Consumption
Unlike many creative projects where fans are passive recipients, Myths of Gaea invites you to be part of the creation itself. Your feedback helps shape entire factions, regions, quests, and even gameplay mechanics. Through voting, discussion, and development commentary, your voice becomes part of Gaea's evolving history.
Sustaining the Vision Long-Term
TTRPGs are not one-and-done projects. They evolve. With ongoing support, we can continue to release rich supplemental materials, modules, and lore content for years to come. Patreon allows us to build Gaea as a living world -- with you.
Choose Your Path: The Patron Tiers of Gaea.
In the world of Gaea, every traveler follows a path. Our Patreon mirrors that spirit, offering four distince tiers, each offering its own form of knowledge, power, and influence.
Citizen of Gaea -- $10/month
The Keepers of Knowledge and History
Citizens walk with quiet halls of ancient libraries and sit beside sacred fires where lor is passed from elder to student. They do not chase power, but understanding. As a Citizen, you'll delve into the myths, calendars, cultures, and belief systems that shape Gaea's peoples.
You'll gain access to exclusive lore drops, early content previews, and behind-the-scenes developer notes. This tier is a dream for Game Masters (we call them Myth Keepers), worldbuilders,and story lovers who want to trace the DNA of a fully realized mythic world.
Every scroll you open, every calendar of sacred festivals you decode brings Gaea to life.
Champion of Gaea -- $10/month
The Voices of Destiny and Change
Champions don't just study the world -- they act upon it. They are adventurers, chosen by fate or forged by fire, whose choices ripple across cities, deserts, and divine shrines.
This tier focuses on player-facing content: mythic character species culturally grounded subclasses, divine artifacts, sacred spellcraft, and feats rooted in living traditions. You'll get early access to game mechanics that let you craft unforgettable PCs who carry the world's legacy in their bones.
Whether you play a sky-sung warrior trained beneath eclipse moons or a rogue raised in forgotten jungle temples, your journey begins here.
Myth Keeper of Gaea -- $18/month
The Walkers of Twin Roads
Myth Keepers are rare. They neither stay in the archives nor vanish into the wilderness -- they do both. They are players, storytellers, and thinkers who see Gaea as a living, breathing tapestry.
This tier unites everything from the Citizen and Champion paths while adding exclusive modules, starting adventures, and deeper regional expansions. You'll explore cities in conflict, divine temples with cursed prophecy, and cultures wrestling with modern faith and ancient gods.
This of this as the tier for narrative designers and GMs who want to run unforgettable campaigns with rich materials few others will see.
Lyceum Archivist -- $30/month
The Architects of the Future
Archivists move beyond lore and legend into stewardship. As a Lyceum Archivist, you step behind the curtain and into the studio itself.
You'll receive everything from the lower tiers plus playtesting access, private development updates, and official recognition in published material. When we need feedback on a system, a god-path, a region, or a module -- you'll be among the first we call.
This tier is limited not by rewards but by responsibility. You're not just observing the world -- you're helping build it.
What Awaits You After Joining
When you become a patron of Myths of Gaea, you're not entering a transaction -- you're stepping into a living world.
From your first day, you'll receive direct access to a carefully curated vault of content tied to your tier. But more than that, you'll begin to experience Gaea not as an observer, but as a participant in its becoming.
Each month brings a new chapter -- sometimes literally. Whether it's an early release of lore that unpacks the rise of a forgotten empire, or a playable module exploring cursed tombs beneath star-split ruins, you'll be the first to witness each revelation.
Expect:
Narrative drops that enrich the playable world -- calendar systems, regional maps, detailed factions, NPCs with bloodlines that stretch across centuries.
Behind-the-scenes development commentaries -- out thoughts on rule design, regional conflict construction, character archetype balancing, and what challenges we're solving next.
Playable content modules for use in your home campaigns -- crafted with emotion, stakes, and the deep weight of myth.
But perhaps the greatest gift is connection. Our private Discord server isn't just a casual hangout -- it's a scriptorium, a think-tank, a creative hearth. Inside, you'll meet fellow Gaeans: Myth Keepers dreaming up cross-regional campaigns, players swapping mythologies, and designers dissecting how culture, faith, and power intersect.
As as new quests are designed, as factions unfold, and as systems evolve, your feedback will be hear. Not buried in a forum, not shuffled off into inbox oblivion -- but read, considered, and responded to directly by the creators. Because in Gaea, every voice has the power to echo.
How You Help Us Build Gaea
It's easy to see projects like this and imagine a well-oiled machine humming quietly in the background. But Myths of Gaea is not a prepackaged product -- it's a living, breathing effort shaped by passion and community. And you, our patrons, are the heartbeat of that process.
Every pledge, no matter the size, is a torch that lights the path forward. It helps us:
Commission world-class artwork that honors the emotional and cultural depth of our setting -- not just fantasy aesthetics, but illustrations that carry meaning, symbolism, and identity.
Develop deep, integrated content -- not superficial rulebooks, but guides that reflect human themes: diaspora, inheritance, faith, and resistance.
Build sustainable momentum so the project isn't built on burnout, but balance -- allowing contributors to be paid fairly, take creative risks, and invest in long-term excellence.
Your support doesn't just enable content delivery -- it liberates creativity. It helps us resist the pressure to make "what sells" and instead make what matters.
You're not just backing a game. You're ensuring the creation of a storytelling legacy that prizes meaning over marketing.
What Sets Us Apart
In a landscape crowded with content, it's fair to ask -- why this Patreon?
The answer lies in intention.
Most creator Patreons offer content as a commodity: assets, PDFs, pre-build stat blocks. There's nothing wrong with that. But Myths of Gaea offers something deeper: a shared mythology in motion.
We're not just handing you tools -- we're inviting you into the forge. We're crafting a place where your ideas can shape nations, where the origin of a spell might be traced to a vote your cast, and where the lore that defines a region began as a conversation in our Discord server.
Other projects build worlds for you. We build worlds with you.
We're not here to pump out content to meet quotas. We're here to build a playable mythology -- one that respects its players, challenges its storytellers, and reflects the diversity and wonder of the real world through a mythic lens.
This is what makes Myths of Gaea more than a game. It's a collaborative act of creation.
