So, looks like I could jam even more into this tiny book!

Page Count Increase

I know I know, the last update was literally called "All Pages Included". Look, at the time of titling that thing I thought I was telling the truth. But, between now and then I started planning out the next book for crowns, an expansion adding in new optional mechanics and things that aren't necessary for the game to play, but just fun tables and such, and I realized that some of those things weren't so optional.

SO, we now have a whole page about Resting, Healing, and Downtime, a second page dedicated to Combat, a second page talking about how Settlements work, and a whole page discussing how to run Social Encounters (its the very last page so it can be quickly and easily turned to during play). All of these are really pretty necessary, and the extra space helps clarify and go into greater depth on some topics that previously were only touched on.

Font Change

We changed heading fonts! To some people, this is a big deal, to others not so much. The last font wouldn't stay bolded in PDF form, but this new one does quite nicely. also, I had a few complaints about the last font being hard to read, this one should be much easier. I still need to go in and update all the non-core rules documents to this font, but for now, it should be fine.

Game Design Changes

So so so so SO many minor changes. Basically rebalanced half the feats, changed the text for Advancement (again), added in those new pages, gave rules to Noble Clothing and Holy Symbols, changed prices, changed item slots, ect. Give the book a new read-over, everything should be a lot more streamlined at this point.

I've decided that it is an impossibility that I will stop tweaking the rules before they go to print. After they go to print, I will start to add up all my tweaks until I decide enough time has passed to create a second edition, that is totally compatible with all the content generated for the game thus far (looking at you D&D).

New Secondary Documents

The character sheets, conditions, and item sheets have all been slightly changed. It is in your best interest to print out character and condition sheets (items are up to you). I'm currently working on updating their fonts.

Art

I'm meeting with the artist Monday, in-person to give the final input on the cover image (get hyped).

Are Ya'll Playtesting?

I have yet to receive any playtesting feedback from the backers. I'm still all ears!

I've also added all of the backer's names to the table of contents page, if you don't want your name there or want me to change your name on there, let me know! I just took them from Kickstarter.

New Secondary Document Idea

So far, I haven't met a group that wasn't interested in the arts-and-craft inventory system. But, I realize that such a group exists in the form of online players. So, I was thinking of creating a little optional side document, one page, that explains how to do the inventory system on Roll20, or in real life without using the arts-and-craft system. Opinions?

To Do

• Add art to all the empty spaces
• Update the fonts on the secondary documents
• Send the final copies to the printers
