Sword Devil is still valid and usable! The things within it are mostly relative to the core so any changes in the core immediately changes on the Sword Devil module.
the consistent hard work into perfecting the combat system of this game is incredibly impressive, it's rare to see a developer who continues to put this much thought and work into a game's combat system. this coupled with the creativity, research and obvious love put into describing the game's setting makes this one of my favourite ever ttrpg corebooks
these really mean a lot to me as the designer of the game, a lot of work goes into it while i'm trying to squeeze it into other working projects, and i really don't want it to be a subpar game so i iterate and iterate until i'm happy, not necessarily when its perfect. thank you so so much for these words!
I'm very interested in the combat system, but I'm currently struggling money-wise. Is there any chance you've considered adding community copies anywhere in the future?
I am considering buying this but I'm wondering as the game receives updates will I receive notifications on it and will my purchases also be updated with the up-to-date content? or will I be limited to the current version I buy and updates do not affect my copy?
Hey, do alignments still apply the same effects when picked as your facets? I really liked the fact that personality played into your strengths and weaknesses. If I missed the passage explaining it I do apologize for wasting your time.
Regardless, a 10/10 game. Love the style and flair.
Could "at any point" actions be used in response to other character's actions? Can you interrupt and act first, like moving out of range after they declare an attack on you?
I've played a oneshot with some friends and we're left wanting for more! It's really fun, especially as an ASEAN, it's very close to our culture and we literally grew up with them.
Incredibly cool game that I'm hoping to start a campaign of with my regular group very soon! The setting is rich and engaging, in part because of the quality of the writing but also due to the inspiration taken from traditionally underrepresented peoples and histories. My only feedback would be that I would love a lexicon of common setting terms somewhere towards the beginning of the book, as there were a lot of words that I had to Ctrl+F to get a sense for what they mean. Exalted 3E has a lexicon at the beginning that displays roughly what I mean.

Any chance for physical copies?
Any chance for more community copies?
Is Sword Devil still a good starting module or is it too out of date with the mechanics overhauls that have come after?

I'm playing this on Foundry and don't have access to the 1.4 version. What would I need to do to get access to those?

You'll get a notification in your itch feed about updates, and the updates will be free to download if you already bought the game.
Reading the itch page has put this at the top of my to-buy list for TTRPGs, this looks incredibly lovingly designed
For the bladeweavers sword mage trait, are they supposed to enhance bravery when they attack with faith and when they attack with bravery?

Is there a chance that you will bring back the Disciplines Passive Abilities in next revisions, makapatag team?
I think the Passive Abilities are really cool and add some depth and excitement to the combat. It's sad that it was forgone in the current version.
Cool game by the way. Clearly a labor of love.
