Yop, un nouveau projet de VTT qui me fait de l'oeil depuis que j'en ai entendu parler (c'est Français !) : https://menyr.nogstudio.com/home-full/

Je vais probablement m'en servir pour ma prochaine campagne.

J'avoue que c'est excitant quand on regarde la vidéo. J'ai hâte de voir un produit fini. Je vais le mettre dans la liste.

Waow. C'est vrai que ça donne envie ^^

Mais c'est le genre de truc qui me fait peur un peu : perdre la spontanéité et l'imaginaire au profit de toujours plus d'images qui viennent te dire quoi penser et t'obligent à prendre le chemin que le logiciel a choisi pour toi. Est-ce que c'est ce qu'on a envie que le jdr devienne ?
Quoi qu'il en soit, la plateforme a l'air bien même si on n'utilise pas toutes les fonctionnalités de la 3d (ne serait-ce que le modificateur de voix ou l'intégration de musiques)

Dash a écrit :The second topic I wanted to take a little time to develop today is coming from a very interesting subject started by a redditor.

I’m not going to copy/paste the whole conversation here, but I’ll use my answer as a base. The premise was basically that with an engine like Menyr, the fantasy part of “fantasy roleplaying” would be gone, and that you will spend hours of your time as a DM to build 3D worlds instead of doing storytelling. I believe it is a very important topic because it touches two of Menyr’s pillars: storytelling and immersion.

To address this first, a little bit of personal backstory that led me to influence the development of Menyr the way it is today. As a DnD DM, my preferred way of playing is “in-person” with a touch of digital immersion: I’m behind my DM screen, a large TV on the side I use to cast nature 4K YouTube videos or mood scenes like fireplace loops etc. My players are facing the TV and me, we’re doing cooperative storytelling during the whole session and when doing battle, we use an erasable mat or sometimes pen & paper. I’d love to one day improve to a digital table where you can cast on a flat tv at the center of it but for now I don’t have one. When the pandemic started, we tried to play on R20 but we really didn’t like the experience so kind of avoided to play online as much as possible.

This is how I will use Menyr to my advantage:

First and very important is prep time: I will be able to procedurally generate terrain up to 100km by 100km, dungeons and villages in a few seconds. If I want to move stuff around I can but it is not necessary. If I want, I can also go to the marketplace and download any map, scenario, or dungeon that someone from the community made and shared (and I’ve been in this community for long enough to know people are really generous).

When I’m satisfied with my maps I can save them in my campaign and start exploring to find interesting places. In the engine, I can use the Point of Interest tool that allows me to set up scenes: I like this particular view of this part of the forest, at sundown with a little bit of fog and snowfall -> save POI. I also like this desert at night under the stars’ scene -> POI. And this view of the village from the rooftops -> POI. Etc.

That’s it. When my players will come to play in session, I can cast my screen on the large TV and jump to any POI in one click. I can adapt the weather, season, music and even sounds (frequency or loudness of any SFX like birds, fire crackling etc) in real time at any point. I can setup the time in-game to go by in real time, seing the sun setting and the stars arise, or I can make time lapses in a few seconds. I can use the Game System in game to keep track of character sheets and inventory or continue using paper and use Menyr solely as a mood generator.

There is much more you can do in Menyr and of course, it allows you to play online if ever a player can’t be present. It reduces prep time necessary to almost zero if this is what you like, and allows you to focus on the actual story. I really believe Menyr will be able to enhance the experience to DMs and players that want to keep immersion and cooperative storytelling as the centerpiece of the TTRPG experience.



I hope this was instructive and entertaining. Until next time.
