Update as at: 20/04/2024
We have now approved all the rules changes to come. This has involved a huge amount of work including codifying a large number of systems that had been added over the years but weren't well known. We have revamped the character progression system with several design principles in mind.
- We want new players to feel like they have complete characters and can get stuck into the game straight away.
- We want the game to encourage collaboration and for people to work across skill sets and boundaries.
- We want research, exploration and pressing the red button to be at the heart of characters' journeys.
- We love battles’
- We want our progression to be relatively flat - end game characters should feel epic but not at the expense of locking newer characters out of the game
As it stands, we are releasing the main body of rules to our staff in early May. Following time for feedback we will then be releasing the rules to the rest of our community the weekend after Event 2. We are aiming to do this via a wiki along with other elements tailored for people who simply don't want to find a way to read lots of text.
This is a little later than planned but the challenge has been to bring it all together in a readable format before sharing. And honestly, balancing everything the game does has been A TASK.
We will then work through questions, transitioning existing characters and revising the rules for proper play come September as the new rules will go into effect AFTER Renewal this year.
So, thank you for hanging on while dozens of people have worked on this. We are super excited - there are lots of changes but we believe they will provide a game for everyone to enjoy for the future.
