Hi there! I’ve released v0.1.3 of ANOINTED. This one’s mostly about combat tuning as discussed in my last post as well as more character options.
I made the changes described there to staggering/unstaggering. Added and changed a bunch of keywords. Added a LOT of new Armaments and changed default loadouts a bit. I also introduced the concept of Variants, which is to say an Armament with a few parameters or one Attack/Maneuver changed but everything else the same.

Hi there!
Trophy is now available for download! It contains:
6 unique Armaments. 6 unique Modular Systems. 3 unique Frames. Some guidance on how to introduce them. If you’ve purchased this, you already have it - check your available files. And this concludes the season of The Infected World! I’ll be releasing a compilation of everything here at some point soon.
Until next time!

Hi there! Been awhile because I’ve been working on The Infected World. But I’ve been thinking about and tweaking ANOINTED in the meantime a bit.
Tweaks for v0.1.3 Some general playtesting observations/changes.
Unstaggering needs to be worse for PCs and less bad for NPCs. The original stagger rules (each loses an action) made more sense in an earlier build of the game where each had two actions (more like APOCALYPSE FRAME).

Hi there!
I made a small update to BURNOUT. If you’re already using it, there are no mechanical changes. Changes are as follows:
Correctly attributed the artist who made the background texture I used. Text size/spacing has been altered, it should make it a little easier to read. Fixed an outdated table in the epub version. That’s all for now, until next time!

Hi there!
Territory is now available for download! It includes:
Some more information/thoughts on The Claw. A new Frame and some new loadout options. Mechanics for territories: areas patrolled by an elite force. Cohorts, a new mechanic associated with Tyrants that gives specific bonuses to their personal forces. Two new Claw Tyrants and four new Wildlife Tyrants (highly mutated or wildly xenobiological major threats). Some more Ace and Crisis Advances. If you’ve purchased this, you already have it - check your available files!

Hi there! This version has a noticeable, large change to Tension, but in gameplay terms, it’s not much of a change. (It’s a good excuse to do v0.4.0 though. Double digit patch versions drive me nuts.)
Tension Changes Big ones first.
Tension now starts at max instead of max - 3. This rule was a weird kind of band-aid to begin with, and instead of doing this, what I really should have done was… Max tension across the board is now 2 less.

Hi there!
v0.1.2 is out! Some notes on what changed:
Relayout to 6” x 9”, made the font a bit smaller. If I print this, it’ll be hardcover, so there’s no sense staying too constrained. Made attribute changes as per this post. Made changes to the attribute spreads of the various Backgrounds to account for these changes. Each one now starts good at a unique combination of two Attributes. Made a major change to how combat turns work - it’s now PC goes, NPC goes, back and forth.

Hi there! This is a fairly minor release. Here’s the list of changes:
Changed the formatting of Systems to put Support/Offensive next to the name instead of in tags. This has been a long time coming because it’s been consistently confusing for people who aren’t familiar. Fixed the MX-BEACON entry in ACES HIGH (the Armaments/Modular Systems were all messed up). Made the Tyrant Barrier a little bit better. In an effort to have less files on the page, I’ll be zipping up each individual book’s pages/spreads/epub versions.

Hi there! I’m going to show how the map for Wilderness works. The goal of the map is to provide a tangibility to the world itself and inspire the fiction of a mission.
Placing the two main hubs The first step is defining where The Collective and whatever the nearest Republic city, town, base, or settlement is. (There could also be more than one, but there should be at least one prominent one - it was a factory, after all.
