Updates and Zinequest Prep

The Tomescribes have informed me that another set of Holidays have passed me by. Too deep in the Tomestacks was I, smudging my hands black with ink, to breathe the cold pine-thinned air. But I am ready to emerge, to at least celebrate the passing of another year.

I come bearing an update for Thieves of the Tome. The core rules have undergone heavy editing and correction after playtesting through the last year. In addition, I went through a massive layout pass of the core rules. Here is a full list of changes:

• A much better introduction to acclimate you to the vibes and ideas of the game.
• Increase the number of recasts allowed (with a cost) to enable even more spelltacular chaos.
• Increase the probability of Tomebursts, to warp the world in your image.
• Changed destiny language for more clarity.
• Increase the required starred dooms to 4 to stave the looming specter of death
• Lots of tweaks to the GM-facing rules. Na'zar shall be prepared when the Kickstarter launches.
• Lots of new art, layout, and some example spell/character sheets.

Thank you to everyone who tried the game at PAXU. I had a blast running games and meeting you all there. We made over 80 spells there together! Rad! You'll find this update closer to the games we played there!

This is the last update to the core rules before the Zinequest Campaign. The final chapter on GMing the game is completely written, edited, and playtested, but has not made it to layout + art yet. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, I will release this chapter with the final game.

Thank you for your continued interest in this project and your support. If you will excuse me, I must return to my tomestacks now that I've filled my lungs with winter vapors.
