Version 1.10 Live-ish
I hope everyone is enjoying the game, and special welcome to everyone who has acquired it through the recent charity bundles. Here's hoping that reality slows down a bit so we can stop needing to do so many of those!
I'm pleased to announce the 'soft launch' of Shepherds version 1.10; This release is mostly a general 'cleanup' release, improving phrasing and adding improved guidance to a lot places, but it also includes a few more substantial changes. Here is a partial changelist that hits the high points:
- General typo fixes and standardization of formatting
- Moved a bunch of text around, hopefully improving readability.
- Fixed a whole lot of issues that prevented easy copy-pasting from the rules. (Drag select should now work properly!)
- Added description option to Stand Up One More Time
- Modification to Conditions and Face Adversity
- Changed a Child of Heroes question
- Added rules for Grown-Up XP Triggers and Advances to the quick reference
- Added "Farsight" to Icy Mirror
- Added Ruthless and Inscrutable
- Tags More guidance around rolls and Moves
- Moved Change or Rewrite your Issue from Advancement to End of Assignment
- Added Protector Advance
- Improved (hopefully) guidelines around Assignment creation
- Some rewording and improved questions for the Broken Weapon
So why a "soft launch"? Well, the accessible versions of the rules aren't ready yet -- I'm looking into options that will be easier to maintain and possibly just more phone and eReader friendly (like ePub!) but they're just not ready yet, and I really wanted to put this out sooner rather than later. For the time being, I'm leaving the 1.9 bundle with the accessible files in it available as "Shepherds 1.9 All Files.zip" in case folks need them, since there aren't any 'incompatibilities' but once I have acceptable accessible versions of the 1.10 revision, those will be going away.
After accessible rules docs, the next step will be finalizing things with Fregena on the River. Once that is done, I will probably start work on another Assignment.
Thanks again! If you have any questions, comments, feedback or stories, please feel free to post them in the comments section, and, of course, like every game here on Itch, we can always use more reviews.
Good luck out there!
