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, has been announced and will be published in February 2024. World Enough & Time is in active development and is set to be "one of three" Mythos Unbound entries set to be published in 2024. The second of three is set to be Solomon & Night, which will be co-written by TheAgentGamer.
Two other titles, Dust & Starlight and Oaths & Honours have also been confirmed but without firm production or publication dates.
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.
All stories in the Mythos Unbound collection are posted on the TCH Archive for easy access.

A comedy, based on Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is set to be produced in 2024. It will be titled Life, the Universe & Everything.
