I added the maps and a floor to the TTS game room. Here's what it looks like now.

I've got 2 slots free. The first Saturday it's scheduled for is October 1st. It may be pushed back because Alex has to vote in local elections. Yes, you will need TTS to play.
Ah. Thanks for the info.
You're most welcome. Are you wanting to join then?
I've been writing feverishly to get the rules to a playable state. I've completed the basic kingdom rules and I'm now working on the warfare section. The Kingdom Rules are similar to what was presented in the Birthright campaign set where the turn is three months long. Each month is an Action Round that the ruler can perform adventures, diplomacy, and so on. The leader of the group will be the leader of the kingdom and may hand out titles to the other party members. I'm using the title structure from Crusader Kings 2 where you have Barons, Counts, Dukes, Kings, and Emperors. Each county can have up to 9 baronies in it based upon the Tech Level. Counts and Dukes have a lot of freedom, but they are still limited by what their king/emperor allows. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
EDIT: A county has baronies that can be Castles, Cities, Temples, and Arcane Academies based upon the class of the founding character. These baronies are divided into specific sections for upgrades. Every one has a core building, walls, residential, craftsman, religious, arcane, stables, and aeries to be built and upgraded. Temple cities lack the religious district while Arcane Academies lack the Arcane district because those are their two core buildings.

Isn't it a bit too early to be worrying about kingdoms at this stage?
Nope because one of the players will be the top ruler that is the one deciding how their civilization grows. One of the ruler actions that he can do is Technology Research. The entire setting as I envisioned is based upon the premise that the players are the Myths in the title of the setting. They are the movers and shakers which means that they should be the rulers using these type of rules. The game begins at the beginning of when creation is finished and goes up to the Age of Sail. There are Tech Levels corresponding to real Ages.
Tech Level 1: Stone Age
Tech Level 2: Bronze Age
Tech Level 3: Iron Age
Tech Level 4: Medieval Age
Tech Level 5: Age of Sail
There's a lot of tech that needs to be researched in order for the tech levels to change.
Kingdom management is a core of the game so the rules are quite important for it.

Since it is an AD&D setting,will there be traditional alignments? I see that deities have pretty important roles in the setting,so will there be a strong divide between Good and Evil as cosmic forces? Can we expect "grimdarkness" in the world? Crime,genocide,dark conspiracies and other nastiness?
Yes, all nine alignments are there, including the societal alignments. The races are aligned into the Good/Neutral/Evil axis as they haven't been allowed to established their civilizations yet for Law/Neutral/Chaotic. There are 3 Greater Gods, 6 Intermediate Gods, and 9 Lesser Gods. The three greater gods are LG, TN, and CE. The highest god Malignost, procreated with the TN and CE goddesses. That's how the intermediate gods were born. Malignost then procreated with the intermediate gods to make the lesser gods. The gods paired off by alignment in marriage which is where they are at the start of the game.
The solar system has 9 planets with Malignost being the center. There are two suns in the solar system. Malignost, the god, created the planet Malignost as his home. The other couple gods each have a planet of their own as well. I went with celestial theology for this.
7 of the couples each created a player race of their own. The two couples that didn't create a race were upset that dad told them no, so they created arcane pools on the surface of Malignost. Said arcane pools can mutate anything that touches it which is the source of all mythical beasts in the world.
Back to cosmology, we decided to not have planes but rather an entire galaxy to allow us to create more settings to fit within the Myths setting. Let's just say that Malignost and the two great goddesses had a reason to be in this part of space.... I left a hook for unknown terrors of the deep....
As for grim darkness etc... That's up to the DM and the players at the table. You decide what style you want.

I seem to remember from your last rules release that there are still summons, and astral travel, and stuff :D
Planes are required my friend
Let's just agree to agree :D
LOL
Yes, but they're being summoned from planets and use astral travel to get to other planets. I find the planes to be a headache. Besides, this makes Myths unique in that it doesn't have the planes.
I was going to use an abstract battle system like Birthright has, but I decided against it. Instead, large battles will be resolved using a system similar to Battlesystem 2E. The advantages are that you can easily transfer player characters into it as heroes and the players can actually design their armies to a fine degree.
Zed Duke of Banville is being kind enough to use Stable Diffusion to generate pictures of the Malignost races. So far we have the Elaz, Dumillu, Aliphian, Annunaki, and Sisulu.
Aliphian Male
Aliphian Female
Annunaki Female
Annunaki Male
Dumillu Female

Elaz Female

So, what are you guys' fursonas?
Nope. I've always liked feline races going back to the Kizinti of Starfleet Battles and Star Trek The Animated Series.
Here's the final races.
Gallu Female
Gallu Male
Gudu Male
It was impossible for me to generate a female minotaur, so you'll have to imagine them.
