This game is quite impressive and it's only in the alpha stage.
I've been testing for a few months now and it has come a long way. More cool stuff and features are added frequently. This is definitely one to look forward to upon release! Check it out.
Both single and multiplayer (but multi is more fun  )
In game as "Razyl". |

I plan to focus on this game a lot more once I've finished beta testing Grimoire. There's only so many hours in a day and some of us still need to work to pay the bills!!

Hello to everyone at RPGDot!
This is Josh Ritter from Prairie Games.
I just wanted to drop a line to say the Open Alpha testing of MoM is going well and we are getting some valuable feedback on the game. I also wanted to share a link to a RPG title's most important feature:
It's PATCH LIST
We're really giving it our all with Minions of Mirth. I sincerely hope people enjoy and see the potential with the alpha version of the game!
Oh, and here's the "How to get the Alpha" thread.
Onward to beta!,
-Josh Ritter
