Shattered City v1.1

Shattered City
A downloadable tabletop RPG

Hi folks,

I was able to get a few additional changes in as part of the back-and-forth with printers. Here's the changelog:

  • Misc. typos fixed.
  • Renamed Imperial Move to Subjugation Move across the Guilds.
  • Rewrote Manifest - it now rolls with +Wisdom, and is more clear about what it does and how backlashes work. 
  • The Break trigger was made clearer.
  • Changed Negotiate from 'On a hit, your allies must perform the action' to 'On a hit, those you meet must perform the action'.
  • Clarified in Confront that rolling a hit on exploiting an Opening removed the Opening. Also capitalised Opening as a system term.
  • Moved the introduction of a Crisis to the start of the Venture half of The Council, and made it clear that the GM introduces one if there is no Guild player.
  • Clarified Advance, specifying more clearly where you can take moves from and what happens when you've marked four.
  • Added intro page for House playbooks and Hero playbooks.
  • Clarified that Guild's Ancestral Control bonuses are cumulative.
  • Tweaked Magista's Mystical Legalists doctrine to read 'Endure, but you must pick 'Understand how the danger is tied to an existing Factor'.' 
  • Changed Varorin's The Law of Attraction to a Reaction instead of an Endeavour that gives you a free Gear Up with consequences.
  • Second Tower of Villos Inheritence move renamed to 'Capture in Crystal'.
  • Made it clear that the Crystal-Crowned loyalty benefits are cumulative.
  • Architect Heroes only get +1 to one stat instead of both.
  • Removed the anomalous third tags from the Verdant Priesthood's travel options.
  • Made gender presentation options in Particulars more uniform.
  • Clarified when you pick an Ancestry in game setup.
  • Added/altered descriptions for tags: flying, far, silent, mantle, elegant.
  • Prowler: Altered wording in Heroism Is Optional and Night Walking to prevent confusion with Openings in Confront.
  • Survivor: Explained how to regain access to The Name They Honour.
  • Vagabond: Explained how to regain access to Dangerous Outlaw.
  • Firebrand: Added back missing words on the Outsider move.
  • Added a sidebar discussing multiple Guild players on p. 17.
  • In 'Influence with your masters' on p. 35, clarified that those trigger when your masters gain extra control over you but already have dominion - not Influence.
  • Added a handout page about Gear, Ancestry moves, and the peripheral moves not on the main move handouts.
  • Tweaked wording about Wonder ongoing benefits on p. 167.
