Henge, guided tours everywhere and a city to visit

Henge A portal ring for your table

  • A new app joins the Toolbox. Players join from a link or a QR code, without an account, and press glyphs on their own phones: the ring turns, a chevron locks each glyph, and when someone presses Activate, the portal opens wherever the phrase leads. The whole table can press at once, so some addresses are nobody's idea.
  • Every glyph means something, and an address reads like a sentence: Cold, Cold, Green, Green opens on the taiga. Every place in Biomes has its address, and science fiction has its own worlds behind a gate of metal.
  • The players see the ring grow, the picture and the sound, never the name of the place. The game master reads aloud what lies beyond and rolls what comes through, sized for the party in D&D 5e or Pathfinder Second Edition.
  • The game master keeps the dial: hold it, mute the table, close the portal or let it close by itself, hide the glyphs' names. For an address nobody wrote, a portal can open a place close to its glyphs, open nothing, let something through, always open the same address, or write your words on the ring.
  • Your own addresses come first, with a picture, an ambience from MGS Audio and their creatures, linked to a Biomes place, a Hearth city or a Fantasy City Simulator settlement. Share them with another game master or publish them on the Other Shore. Three for everyone, as many as you like with Patreon, and patrons can set a picture or a skin behind the ring.
  • Everything can be tried without an account.

All apps Guided tours

  • Every app now has its guided tour, the hub and MGS Audio too. Numbered bubbles light one part of the screen at a time and open a real example, then bring your own page back. The tour opens by itself on your first visit and plays again from the game menu (Guided tour).
  • FCS Every tab and every editor has its own short tour, opened the first time you reach it and replayed from its "?".

FCS A city to visit

  • Durnhold, a dwarven colony already played for many cycles, is open to everyone to read: walk through a living city before you found your own. "Remove from my list" takes it out of your city selector.
  • Players read the city, only the game master changes it. An imported city or preset belongs to the one who imported it.
  • The army's defense modifier now counts. A formula with two terms and no operator between them is refused when you save it.
  • The housing bar sets the people housed against the dwellings built, and shows those without a roof in red.
  • A new official research tree, Classic Realm, for any fantasy realm. Dwarven Depths is cleaned up, and both trees are in French.
  • The elf, the dwarf, the gnome, the goblin and the human of Kor, our own world, beside the D&D species: their lifespans and their names. The dwarves' Stone Calendar takes the twelve gems of the Givrebarbe clan, with their feasts.
  • A Patreon membership, even a free one, opens more than one city, a larger population and the Crafting Table sync in Foundry. The texts used to say otherwise.

Skins Two minutes to try

  • Not a patron yet? Wear any Patreon skin for two minutes, across every app, before you decide.
  • Every skin has its own cursor.
  • Immortal Vegans grows into a living grove: fireflies, falling leaves and a vine along the sidebar. Golddiggers digs into a gold mine. Holier-Than-Thou opens onto paradise. Local Man Explodes prints the front page of a tabloid, with its ticker running.

MGS Audio desktop 1.4.1 to 1.4.6

  • On Windows, the player's buttons answer every click (the web apps in Chrome too).
  • A track you buy shows without restarting the app.
  • A shuffle button beside the loop, and a double-click plays a track in the Library and My files.
  • In an ambience mix, a double-click plays one ambience alone, the sliders slide, and "Save to mix" keeps the volumes and places you just set.
  • The left column can be resized, and a right-click on the title playing adds it to a playlist.
  • My files scrolls, and your own folders inside the download folder are read.

MGS Audio A page per keyword

  • Over 200 keyword pages (tavern, storm, dungeon…) gather every music and ambience on one theme, linked from each track's keywords.
  • A track's page shows its mood, its versions and its neighbours on the album and by the same composer.

Crafting Table Rerum The Tome's balance pass

  • The potions follow the Tome de l'Archimage's balance pass: six new potions (Life, Vigor, Breath, Blending, Beast Tongue and Fury), Levitation becomes Flying, and durations and extra costs as the book now gives them.
  • A complex essence stands in for its simple ones when your stock runs short, and an extraction follows the Tome's rule.
  • Rerum An ingredient's page lists the ingredients taken from the same source and the potions its essences go into. Five new ingredients, four of them sources of empyrean essence.

And also

  • Bearer Pick the print of the passport photo: black and white, high contrast, sepia or faded by the years.
  • Metals Steel's carbon follows its composition, 0.02 to 2.14%.
  • Hub "About this app" in every app's sidebar, and the hub in French at /apps/fr/.

Foundry MGS Toolbox 1.9.0

  • 1.9.0: Henge comes to Foundry, in the MGS Apps menu of the Journal tab. Each opening becomes a journal entry for the game master, with the place, its picture and what came through, and a scene tied to the address can be activated from its card.
  • In a Pathfinder Second Edition world, a spell cast from a sheet plays its sound effect too, as in D&D 5e.
  • The Patreon texts say what each tier really opens: sound effects come with the Guardian tier.
