Playtesting Update #3!

Something is Out There
A downloadable game

A few things have changed moving into v0.6 of SiOT:

- Additional playtesting credits have been added to the acknowledgments page (pg. 2 of the document)

- The Bookworm's Geeky descriptor feature has been altered for clarification to the following: "Your immense intellect cannot be thwarted by something so simple as physical harm. When you are struck with physical damage or suffer stress, you may draw a card from your Character Deck as normal. If it is a Face card, you suffer no damage and shuffle the card back into your Character Deck. If it is not a face card and you fail the test, you suffer damage the same as normal."

- The Babe's archetype feature has been buffed slightly to the following: "People are easily influenced by you because, well, people actually like you. Once per session, when you fail any skill test, you may discard an additional card from your Character Deck to force a success. Then, take the lower value card of the two and shuffle it back into its respective deck. Narratively, your character is exerting their force of will on the situation socially to either convince someone, calm an animal, remember important information that they learned from an NPC, etc."

- Language regarding ties in combat situations has been added to the end of the "The Dealer's Deck" section (pg. 8)

Thanks to everyone who has been enjoying SiOT so far. The full release with finalized rules is coming soon and should hopefully be published by the end of December. The support for SiOT has been majorly gratifying, and I'm so happy that others are enjoying it!
