Pay for the magic. Not the table.
Mug & Myth runs on TechRinger credits, the same credits you use across TechRinger. The Dungeon Master's narration and the paintings use them. That's it. No seat fees, no per-player subscription.
1,000 credits = $1A turn of narration ≈ 20–40 creditsA painting ≈ 50 credits (about 5¢)2-hour, 4-player session ≈ 1,500–2,000 credits
All credit figures on this page are estimates. Real usage varies with your table.

Who pays
The host decides, once per campaign
One person pays for the whole table. Great for families, game nights at your place, or that one friend who insists. Everyone else just plays.
Either way, the host always covers guests, round paintings and the chapter book. A live “credits this session” meter keeps everyone honest.The Goblin Who Stole the SongSession 2 · 10 rounds

FAQ
Questions from the back of the tavern

Nobody gets kicked out mid-dragon. The table pauses paintings first so the story can keep going on narration alone, then asks the host whether to top up or wrap the chapter there.
