Monstering

Menhirs Fate: Unleash Your Inner Monster! (Or Helpful Villager!)

Hey Menhirs Fate adventurers! Get ready to dive even deeper into the world because we’re including a system that will make your experience richer and more immersive: Monster Slots!

What’s a Monster Slot? 

Think of it as your chance to step behind the screen and shape the world for other players! These are two-hour blocks of time where YOU become part of the living, breathing landscape of Menhirs Fate. It’s about offering you the chance to actively influence the narrative and provide unforgettable encounters for your fellow players.

Here’s how it works:

• Time Blocks: The event is divided into two-hour chunks, for example:
  • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
  • 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • And so on…

• Monster Slots: For each of these time blocks, we’ll have specific “monster slots” available. These represent different roles you could play:
  • Forest Kobold – Sneak around the trees and ambush anyone who treads too far.
  • Undead Patrol – A never-ending nightmare horde that will drag you under.
  • Traveling Merchant – Trade in wares and get people into side plots.
  • Corrupted Cultists – Summon dark powers and perform unholy rituals to twist the world.
  • Roving Bandits – Get that loot and take it back to base.

• More Than Just Monsters! These slots aren’t just about combat! Some are set pieces to further develop an area, environmental hazards that change what happens, and more importantly: roleplay encounters which create the storylines that build the world..

Your Role in Menhirs Fate

We believe in the LARP community practice of the ‘social contract’. This means that as well as enjoying the game and the game world, you have the opportunity to contribute to making Menhirs Fate the best it can be for others.

There’s something for everyone:

**We would like everyone to take part, so we will make roles for everyone.

• For people who want combat!: Dive into the chaos as a menacing monster, providing a real challenge for other players.
• For people who don’t want to or are unable to fight: Take part in our unique series of roleplay encounters that will allow players to immerse themselves even more into the story lines!

Prior Notification is Key!

We believe you are going to be as excited to do this as us, so we will make sure that those who are expected to be helping out will know in advance!

Think of it as your chance to:

• Shape the World: YOU are the driving force behind the stories of Menhirs Fate!
• Experience a New Playstyle: Break out of your normal character and try something completely different
• Use That Fancy Weapon You Have: Your character normally rocks a pair of rapiers, but you’ve just bought yourself a massive mace? Here’s your chance to play with it!
• Contribute to Something Awesome: Help us create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

Can’t monster this time?
We understand that sometimes things get in the way of contributing to the game through monster slots – this could be for all kinds of reasons. Have a chat with your Nation Support – you don’t have to tell them why you can’t monster, but they might be able to help.

This is all about making Menhirs Fate the most dynamic and immersive LARP it can be. We’re excited to see what you create!
