Version 1.9 "Final" release
This release represents something tolerably close to the final version of Shepherds. Though there may be small tweaks or fixes going forward if people encounter problems (particularly with layout or bookmarks!), or if I receive substantial feedback, but most likely the only further updates will be the addition of some more art, though I have plans to publish a few additional Assignments separately, most likely for free.
The most substantial changes for this version for people who have played earlier ones is a change to how Talk Them Down operates; Instead of being a Fire move, the modifier for it is now based on the number of times you've confronted this foe. This caused a small cascade of other changes including new moves for Fire, Earth and Water. A short list of the "major" changes follows, though there are also a number of small clarifications:
Page 9: Added Appeal To Their Conscience
Page 10: Cleanup and tuning for Pour Your Heart Out
Page 12: Removed Defend Those In Need (it's now part of Face Adversity)
Page 12: Added Speak With Your Fists
Page 13: Changes to the interaction of questions and bonuses in Investigate
Page 15: Added Read The Board
Page 16: Adjustments to Face Adversity
Page 17: Changes to how Talk Them Down is rolled
Page 21: Mark XP in Grow Closer
Page 23: Small changes to Work Together (mostly at negative Trust)
Page 26: Added Leave The Fold
Page 36: New "Mentor" add-on for stories
Page 40/41: Changes and replacements to some Grown-up advances
Page 43: Suggested Session Zero procedureAs always, feedback is welcome, and I'll do my best to fix any errors/typos/problems.
