0.9 Released

Favored Soul
A downloadable game

Happy New Year! This is another decent-sized update, with the highlights being two new Classes (the Bard and the Detective) and new rules for three-color characters! Also, the doc got a shiny new coat of paint with new borders and logo.

At this point, I think the game is almost done, and I fully expect to be at 1.0 in next month's update. After that, I'm taking a little break from the game, but I'll be back before too long with what I'm planning to do next: at least two different setting supplements, complete with new game systems, moves, and Classes. Here's a hint at the first one: I plan to release it on May the 4th.
