Roleplaying games frequently have a combat part, and story part. The story in Wildermyth is told by events, and displayed in comic panels. With the editor you can make your own panels and tell your own stories. The interesting thing is that these events aren't completely random: You can define when they happen, and what characters need to be present in your party to make these events happen. In the tutorial linked above, the event only happens if a bookish character and a friend of that character are present. And then the event is about friends discussing books. You could make a story that only happens if a character with a specific characteristic dies, or one that only happens if a specific type of character encounters specific foes. Because with each playthrough the characteristics of your characters will be different, different stories can happen.

In other words, after taking hours to create a single small event, I decided that I am not going to be a story author for this game. But the look behind the scenes, how the game works, was quite interesting. And of course, other people are far more talented than I am, and you can find mods with various events on the Steam workshop.
