CLAIM THE POD
Register as a Play Group
Pick the Play Group plan — built for casual pods, open tables, and nights that don’t need a full league season yet. One account works for playing and leading.
Start casual. Scale when your scene is ready.
Play groups
Casual pods and open play — a durable online home for kitchen-table communities.
For pods that need one more
Your table shouldn’t die in a group chat.
Commander at the library, a draft circle that needs a fourth, open EDH that welcomes newcomers — play groups are where friendships start. Mythic Gathering gives your pod a public page players can find, a night they can RSVP to, and a path to grow when “sometimes” becomes every week.
How play groups grow on Mythic
Four moves to fill the chair
From “we play sometimes” to a pod people can actually find. Scroll the path.
TELL THE STORY
Give newcomers a reason to show up
Add your name, location, and what makes your table welcoming — formats you love, skill level, how to find you in Discord or at the venue. One link replaces the weekly re-explanation.
Players join vibes they can see before they commit.
OPEN THE NIGHT
Publish the next open table
List format, time, and capacity so RSVPs arrive before you ping the chat. Recurring weeks stay simple on your subscription — Special Event workspaces wait until you outgrow one listing.
Empty seats fill when the night is public and clear.
KEEP THEM COMING
Share, welcome, and grow when ready
Send your community page to friends, connect Discord announcements when you’re ready, and welcome players who find you in search. When weekly nights turn into a real season, move up to League.
Many leagues began as a kitchen table that kept showing up.
