After a full year of running Menhirs Fate we have been reviewing a massive amount of data. What did people enjoy? What is working for our crew? Do things match the vision and values we set out at the start of this?
In light of these things we have undertaken a large review of our rules system. We expected that after a year of seeing it on the ground we would want to change things and in some cases deliberately engineered sections so that we would be able to see the interactions and make proper choices about our changes.
Following this we have created the Year 2 Menhirs Rules. Think of it like an expansion for a game. It’s the same world. A lot of the underlying systems and game remains the same but some things have been optimised, some things have been added and some things have been pruned.
Ultimately our goals are to increase, enhance and enable roleplay within the game and innovate. In light of this a passionate group of crew have spent a lot of time over the long dark overhauling several systems.
What’s Changed?
We’ve created a Changelog page that summarises all of the changes, hopefully this makes it easier to digest!
All of the changes are reflected on our Wiki, and this will be the main place to see all of the new information.
Responding to changes
We will be setting up an area at MF1 and however many games that are needed moving forwards where players come and check their existing boons / magical effects / items with us regarding these rules changes. Any player character who has a boon / magical effect / item, please come to this before time in at the event. We will refresh your item and fix it according to the new rules.
We also predict a large percentage of our players will need to change their characters skills. Please review these changes and support each other in finding new skills to enjoy.
If you have any questions regarding these changes – please use only the following methods of reaching out, we’ll be more than happy to help:
