RSSStoried Age: Current Issues
Jun 12
Here’s a list of issues that I know I need to work on with Final Hour of a Storied Age:
- The similarities and differences between the way the alignment track works for PCs and NPCs is potentially confusing
- The “world creation” example needs character created from “fact about the world” style seeds
- Distribute the world creation example through part 1 rather than all at the end
- The 3-stage/segment 3-segment/plot relationship needs clarity earlier in the rules
- Talk about some of the asymmetries and reasons behind them explicitly rather than trusting everyone to pick up the subtleties
- Clarify the that only adversity player gets extra spotlight dice for winning chapter — lots of people seem confused by that
- Rewrite the Dark Mirror example to eliminate LOTR semi-references
- Add summary tables along with the rules in addition to quick-reference chart at the end
- Bring active/passive explanations from glossary into main rules text
- Analyze the probabilities (especially that d20 — everyone seems concerned about it)
- Consider using colored dice rather than die sizes to differentiate story/action dice
