A text version of Brighter Worlds is now available at https://brighterworldsrpg.com/. It's currently at parity, but will likely generally be updated faster than the pdf version on itch just due to lack of having to fuss with layout.
Changes from 0.5.0 to 0.6.0:
Forgemaster was entirely reworked into Artificer to make it less combat focused.
Martial Artist had non-combat abilities added to each Stance to attempt to slightly loosen it’s focus on combat. This class is likely always going to be combat focused, without a complete rehaul.
Chaos Sorcerer, Devoted, Beastmaster, Alchemist, Blessed of Water, and Grimblade had advanced abilities reworked or completed.
Archivist now also starts with a “knack” related to their Topic.
Starting character stats were lowered to two d6 and one d8. This is partly in relation to the earlier change from “environmental saves” being vs a d8 to a fixed 4. Closer to a 50% chance to succeed starting out now, and gives characters more room to grow.
Rolling for Max Grit has been replaced with a fixed amount of Grit. Default is 3, -1 if the class starts with Armor, +1 if the class is specifically martial in nature.
Starter Packages have been temporarily removed. They are being reworked as full, ready to use pre-gens or NPCs.
