0.9 - Major Reboot

I'm almost afraid to call this 0.9. This is huge.

After half a year of development, I have reworked the entire game from the ground up. Not really, but kind of.

The game is mechanically still the same as it always was with Runes and cycles and magic and gridded combat. But thematically the game has finally crystalized into a clear vision of what I want it to be. 

Monuments

The main activity in this game now is exploring Monuments. Ancient structures left and forgotten, full of wonder and danger and magic. Your party seeks answers and the Monument might just hold some. You are of course free to play the game in any way you like but the book provides help on creating memorable Monuments for players to explore.

Paths

This crazy new thing allows players to add a narrative arc to their character. A short list of emotional or concrete tasks to complete on their journey to gain that coveted D10->D12 upgrade.

Other improvements

So much that I can't even explain it all.

• New book size: A5
• New clean layout
• New art direction (and a dedicated artist, more on that later)
• 12 classes cut down to 6
• Traits cleaned up and simplified
• Flaws are gone
• Adjective system to describe yourself and your party.
• Quirks are gone
• Stamina system is replaced with the Lumina system. Same stuff, new narrative.
• Healing potions are gone
• Simplified inventory and money
• New death mechanics
• Hexcrawl generator
• Monument tables
• and so much other stuff...

Here to stay

This is my promise to you, that third time is the charm. No more reboots. The game you see here will remain mostly intact for the full release. And you can trust that in the end you will be following your Path to the Monument.
