Mythos Unbound is a collection of roleplay stories written by Grand_Tarkin. Started in 2023 with the publication of Shadows & Swords, Mythos Unbound is categorized as stories that "explore the mythos of the TCH universe". The series was joined by Of Gods & Aliens, a Christmas special, in December 2023. Grand_Tarkin has announced that there will be more projects in Mythos Unbound and that they will push the boundaries of the roleplay in new and exciting ways.
A third story in the collection, titled World Enough & Time, was written and published in February 2024 as a soft-sequel to Of Gods & Aliens, following the character of the Master in the aftermath of the Battle of St. Bernard's Town. The fourth entry, titled Curve, was a choose-your-own adventure story, which took the reader through the mysterious events at the Marino nightclub called "Curve". A sequel to Curve, titled The Prime Directive, began publication in October 3024 as a "halloween special".
On Christmas Day 2024, Grand_Tarkin revealed that the Christmas special for that year, Deathless, would be the end of Mythos Unbound's first phase, subtitled "Phase One: Abstraction". Following Deathless, the next major storyline would be Series Three: All Saints. Mythos Unbound's second phase, subtitled "Phase Two: Prophecies", would return after the conclusion of All Saints, and would begin with Solomon & Night, a sequel to Of Gods & Aliens.
The Mythos Unbound collection sits parallel to the Series collection. It has been announced that characters from both can and will crossover and that all stories in both collections fit onto a single, connected timeline.
