I had a few questions about the rules of the mercenary and the intention of the abyssal labyrinth portion:
1. For the shield arm abilities it says they last until end of turn and I was wondering if that meant the shields can be used out of turn order or if it lasts until the end of the round?

2. Is the intention for the abyssal labyrinth supposed to be more of an example of what the labyrinth could look like or what it should look like (i.e: is it more of a starting point to give inspiration or an intended way to play the game)?

Lastly and not question related I just wanted to say how much I adore each class and how unique the mechanics are, along with the wugs (I absolutely love their flavour) and the I loved the corpse engineer story with Elena and Mr. Gorham and Doctor. Wollstone.

Also wow the meta narrative and Charlotte's essays were astounding, I don't think I can put into words how much I loved The Never Born and The Goblin Was Evil.

Funnily enough, The Goblin Was Evil was actually the first piece of writing that I did for the game. In a way, everything else kind of grew up around it.

Thanks for the message!

1. I'm in the editing phase at the moment, so hopefully we'll catch anything like that, but yes, that should be an until end of the round not turn ability. Anything that's reactionary should be a bit more clearly stated. Thanks for spotting it though, I know there's a few little things like that here and there.

2. That's an interesting question and it sort of came up recently between myself and my editor when we were discussing how Charlotte would run the game as opposed to how Samantha would, because I think they would approach it very differently. I think the answer there is really 'either'. You can play it as a linear dungeon crawl as written, or use the provided rooms and bosses as something of a starting point to expand the labyrinth into something bigger or different. For example, the route down is left intentionally unexplored.

Thanks, I really enjoyed creating all of those bits and trying to tie them into the themes.

Thank you so much for clearing that up, it means a lot!
