Playtest Draft 0.253: Changelog


Note: all page numbers refer to the PDF version of the game; the EPUB's page numbering will vary depending on which EPUB reader you're using, and the HTML version of course has no page numbers.

Core Rulebook

  • Re-organised core rulebook to make room for forthcoming stretch goal content (various pages)

  • Clarified how to break certain kinds of ties in GMless games (pp. 30, 48)

  • Removed an errant reference to forced Trait checks at the ends of Train Action turns when Event Danger is high (p. 34)
  • Revised and expanded the rules for how Danger works at Stops, specifically addressing what happens if a Stop's Danger becomes zero as a result of a forced Trait check when leaving the Stop (p. 36)
  • Clarified how using a keepsake effect to re-narrate the results of a Trait check works (p. 40)
  • Clarified the mechanical effects of partial success on a Trait check (p. 44)
