Footfall Week Two Patch: v0.1.1

Footfall 0e
A downloadable game

Thank you to all of the incredible people who have downloaded the playtest in the first week! I took a small break after getting the playtest available, but now I'm back to the grind stone.

- Major Changes / Additions -

  • A list of Temperaments have been added to the Rules Reference.
  • The Cannon, a new Ranged Implement, has been added.
  • Vehicle Cover no longer provides Half Coverage across the board. This felt weird in play.
    • Motor Carriages still only provide Half Coverage to passengers.
  • Two new Boats have been added:
    • The Riverboat is a jack-of-all-trades passenger craft.
    • The Lifeboat is crucial in the case of an aquatic emergency.
  • Three new combat-specialized Train Cars have been added:
    • The Cannon car is adept at removing cars from trains on parallel tracks.
    • The Turret car comes equipped with a fully customizable mounted turret.
    • The Balistraria car provides infantry necessary cover without restricting line of sight.

- Minor Changes / Additions -

  • The Rules Reference spread has been moved in front of the credits and interior title spread.
  • The hyperlinks in the Table of Contents have been fixed (a few were sending people to the wrong pages).
  • The Worker art in Backgrounds is no longer consuming the text (sorry about that, I have NO idea how it happened).
  • The following rules clarification has been added for Cover
    • "Peeking does not allow other creatures to establish line of sight on the peeking creature."
  • Two new sidebars have been added:
    • "Renting and Buying Ships"
    • "Using Ships and Trains as Lodging"
  • Other minor wording fixes and editing done throughout.

- What's Next? -

In the coming weeks/months I'll be adding some new content here and there (Items, Powers, Addendums, Vehicles), but my primary focus for the moment is writing up a new adventure for y'all! If it goes well, the insight provided should help me get started on outlining and drafting up the Watchman chapters (particularly those for area design).
