Hello!
I have updated the interactive PDF of PARIAH VOLUME 1, mainly to remove the word "shaman". My reasons for doing so are explained in this blog post: https://aloneinthelabyrinth.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-word-shaman.html In the Rituals section, the word shaman is replaced by supplicant. The one mention of "shamanic ritual" (contrasting with sorcerous rituals) is altered to read mystic ritual, and some additional text is placed at the start of this chapter to establish the distinction.
Elsewhere:
This was an easy fix as "shaman" is never properly defined in the text, aside from in the "rituals chapter", and it is explicitly stated that the term has no "special meaning" in the game of PARIAH. This text has also been removed: because the word shaman is no longer used it just looks weird!
I also corrected a few sentences here and there, mainly ones that I noticed while re-proofing (for, I think, the seventh time!) Note I will still need to update:
Meanwhile, please take a look at my new games:
