Mytago is on a roll – a fresh batch of spring news

We’ve put together a quick update so you don’t think our boss Jiří is slacking off in his publishing work. Quite the opposite – the Mytago editorial team is running at full speed, coffee is flowing, and our publishing plans are bursting at the seams. Our keyboards are clicking from dawn till dusk as we fine-tune a mountain of proofreads, maps, and fresh translations for you. We want you to stay in the loop on every new line we’re crafting in our workshop. So, what are we hammering out together right now, and what should you start clearing space for on your bookshelf?

🧙‍♂️ The Gamebook Legend of Zagor is out

The Legend of Zagor, the 13th installment in the cult Fighting Fantasy gamebook series, has just been released by Mytago. This dark classic by Ian Livingstone returns in a premium hardcover edition with a new cover by Cyril Gaja and original illustrations by Martin McKenna. The story takes you to the kingdom of Amarillia and Castle Argent, where a final showdown with the series' most famous sorcerer awaits, this time in his terrifying demonic form. A major new feature compared to other volumes is the ability to choose one of four unique heroes – Anvar the Barbarian, Braxus the Warrior, Stubble the Dwarf, or Salazar the Wizard – which, along with new magic and awareness mechanics, guarantees high replayability.

🐭 The second volume of the Redwall series is out

Fans have also just received the second volume of the epic animal fantasy saga Redwall, titled Mariel of Redwall. This installment, penned by Brian Jacques, serves as a prequel to the first book and reveals the origin of the legendary Martin the Warrior. The story follows the oppression of the Mossflower Woods inhabitants under the cruel rule of the wild cat Gabool the Wild and the formation of a brave resistance determined to stand against her. Although the main characters are animals, the book offers sophisticated high fantasy with war strategy and heroic deeds. The Czech hardcover edition is complemented by Gary Chalk's illustrations and a precise translation by Zbyněk Kučera Holub, which masterfully brings the world of Redwall to readers of all generations.

🏴‍☠️ Two new expansions for Pirate Borg are coming

Our editorial team is preparing two expansions for the pirate RPG Pirate Borg. The first is Ravaged by Storms, which casts you onto a desolate island in the middle of endless storms.

The expansion brings new locations, content generation tables, and specific survival mechanics for a storm-ravaged world. The second expansion is Dark Tidal, designed as a micro solo RPG that also serves as a source of content for Pirate Borg.

This rulebook by Ben Milton is now available for pre-order and brings a polished system for OSR (Old-School Essentials) fans.

In addition to game mechanics, you’ll find rich information about the history of magic on the Continent and stories that flesh out the atmosphere of this dark fantasy world.

💍 We’ve translated the Moria book for The One Ring RPG

If you want to explore the darkest depths of Middle-earth, Mytago has prepared a treat for you in the form of the expansion Moria – Through the Doors of Durin for The One Ring RPG. This hardcover manual, translated by Jiří Petrů, serves as a detailed guide to the ancient dwarven city of Khazad-dûm. Don't expect just a dry description of corridors; the book brings new mechanics for dungeon exploration that faithfully simulate the claustrophobic atmosphere and constant danger lurking in the dark. Moria is presented here as a living environment full of forgotten artifacts and powerful factions, where diplomacy can be just as important as a sharp sword. The translation is finished and the title is now available for pre-order, with a specific release date to be announced.
