April Updates
Happy April 1st, everyone! This update is no April Fool's joke, just short and sweet. March was a quiet month for all of us, but we have something fun upcoming for the Blood Born Time Until this month, so be on the lookout for that!
Reputation
The weight of minor and major events has been adjusted from 5 and 2 to 2 and 1 to encourage a slower growth. All reputation earned before this update remains the same, so there are no retroactive changes, but this will be how things are graded in the future.
Guidebook Update
The Guidebook has received both an aesthetic and organizational update! We hope this makes it easier to navigate and take in the lore. As always, if you spot any errors or inconsistencies, don't hesitate to let us know in the #mod-request channel.
Tokens
The concept of 'tokens' at character creation has been removed, but nothing has changed mechanically. At creation, players can still choose to take an additional rank in their Path or take a mundane skill for their character.
This change came about simply because we thought the wording needlessly complicated things. We tried to smooth out all the phrasing, but if you spot mentions of tokens anywhere, let us know!
Shifter Dice
Now that we've gained more experience building for Strike & Cinder Dice, we've slowly made balance changes. The shifters now earn one Cinder die per rank instead of skipping a few levels. It was determined that this change would have minimal effect on overall game balance while simplifying the leveling system.
We're always looking to refine and improve, so feedback is welcome!
Character Facts
In Discord, we've added an opt-in role that allows players to be tagged for character facts! Anyone can call this tag, so if you have a fun character development question, you're welcome to use the #character-facts channel to pose it to everyone with the tag and start discussing.
Experimental Light Theme
We have an experimental Light Theme now. Although it's in development, it's available to all players, so let us know what you think. You can access it through the theme changer in the footer if you're interested!
- Further development of the Spirit Path
- Further advancement prompts from dabbler to the higher levels.
- New Time Untils
- Refinement of Double or Nothing mechanic
- Path and Keyword Icons
