Mini Mecum: The Final Update

Kept y'all waiting on this one, sorry about that.

I had never planned to come back to Mini Mecum. I made it, I was okay with it, and I was done with it. But I wasn't really proud of it, either. Now, with the skills I have, I felt pretty bad releasing it in the state it was, even if people liked it. Especially because people liked it.

I don't know where the appeal lies, so I didn't mess with the writing, but I've done a pretty comprehensive overhaul to bring the rest of the game to my new standards. If you've played the game already, I'd honestly recommend you do again. It's very different.

Enjoy!
