Welcome to Menhirs Fate! We're thrilled you're here.
This guide is your personal roadmap from "what on earth is LARP?" all the way to stepping onto the field, sword in hand (or spell on your lips, or ledger under your arm — there's more than one way to play). Each phase covers a key part of the journey, and you can work through them at your own pace.
No rush. No pressure. Just one step at a time.
