MENYR is a Storytelling Engine Offering AAA Graphics on a Virtual Tabletop for Free

NOG Studio is being very ambitious. They have a Kickstarter running for a new virtual tabletop called Menyr, and it looks bonkers. The team at NOG want to deliver a 3D tabletop with AAA graphics for absolutely free and so far it looks pretty dang good.

Menyr is planned to have a ton of features like the ability to quickly procedurally generate a world, dungeon, etc. so that you don’t have to plan every detail. You can then go in and tweak it as you see fit, but most of the muscle work has been done. You can even import your own 2D and 3D models for use.

It sounds nuts that they’re going to make this free. Their current plan is to pay for Menyr through purchasable cosmetics like dice and special effects as well as through taking a cut from sales on their Community Marketplace where creators can sell (or give away) characters, maps, scenarios, music, and more.

Menyr is a storytelling engine designed to allow players to create worlds in seconds and play directly in the virtual tabletop with your friends. Great for playing TTRPGs, you will be able to change the mood of your scenes in real time, adventure and fight into your worlds with AAA graphics.

You can choose to play entirely online, or cast Menyr on your screen during an “in person” session.

From generating procedural dungeons to changing biomes on the fly, rolling the dice and accessing your character sheet, there is everything you need to play your favourite role playing game with Menyr.

If you back the Kickstarter, you do get some goodies even though this is planned to be free. You can get access to the closed beta set to take place during Q1 2023, exclusive dice, exclusive character bases, and more. Menyr is currently planned to release in full in Q4 2023. You can check out the trailer below and support the Kickstarter if you feel inclined.
