A quick update to 1.2b. I've revamped the logic for making tests, so rather than a Warhammer Fantasy Battle (OG) style matrix comparing two characteristics, everything starts with a TN of 4+.
In combat, if the defender's STR is higher, the TN increases to 5+ and if it's lower, it drops to 3+. Simple to remember, no need to keep a matrix open all the time when sat on the train, all good. As it was, the original matrix was mainly 4+ for most attacks, anyway.
This should make combat faster, easier, and mean less lookups.
In other news, I'm piling on with the advanced rules and more playtesting + working on the remaining scenarios and the story arc that meanders through this first book. I'm unsure how much of this I will release for free (or even what I will do with the finished game), but I will consider things. In the meantime, download the updated rules and let me know your thoughts.
