Gloaming Diaries Book Update
The Gloaming Diaries Update: Puck's Bare Bottom
This update provides a number of adjustments to the game to close out its development during the #FolkloreJam.
The character creation chapter has had some adjustment to its flow based on player feedback to help keep thematically similar portions of the process together. Backstories have been renamed to Perks to better represent what their role in the game is (and leaving room for a future backstory mechanics to offer a narrative guide to your character's past). The sorcerer rules were split between the commoner role itself and a a new "Sorcery" subsection in the Elemental Magics chapter, which is now renamed Fae Magics. This gave it a bit more breathing room to discuss the creation of your own sorcery tradition. Some adjustments have been made to advancement costs, some changes were made to the behavior of forfeits, and there was a redesign of fighting style 'abilities' to 'techniques' to help distinguish them better.
In short, it's just a bunch of polishing based upon some rounds of feedback.
Thanks to those of you who have already tried out the Gloaming Diaries. The engagement means a lot! If you haven't yet, please consider checking it (and the other games in #FolkloreJam) out!
Cheers,
Kyle
