0.4.0 - Backstory Update
The Space Between Us » Devlog
Hello all! So, 2020, amirite?
Jokes aside it's been one hell of an unpleasant year and I had to put a stop to game dev for quite a while. Recently I finally found inspiration again, and I have a brand spankin' new version of ] [ to give you as a result!
This is slightly an interim update prepping it for rapid playtesting at an upcoming event. A lot has been added, but you'll notice several missing features, too. Most of those features I plan to re-add at a later date. Until then, I hope you enjoy this new version! It was a lot of fun to revisit and revise, even when I did decide that everything needed to be two font points smaller.
What's new
GM Guide
- Currently outdated; pending an update.
Playbooks
- All Playbooks: Layout has been overhauled.
- All Playbooks: Background character creation questions (“Origins”) have been added.
- All Playbooks: Bonds have been renamed to Sync.
- All Playbooks: Starting Sync questions have been reduced to 2 per playbook. All but one question is totally new.
- All Playbooks: An Experience track has been added. Things that used to give advancements now give Experience, and Sync to individual worlds how generates larger amounts of Experience (See Basic Moves).
- All Playbooks: Darkest Self prompts were reworded slightly for uniformity.
- All Playbooks: Nexus questions were removed pending an update that fleshes out Nexus mechanics better.
- The Hero: A new move, Hero of Legend, has been added.
- The Slayer: A new move, My Only Real Friend, has been added.
- The Prodigy: The Redemption track has been temporarily removed while I work on making it not entirely placeholders.
- The Damsel: A new move, Negotiator, has been added.
- The Hermit: A new move, Have I Ever Told You…, has been added.

- The Eldritch: Two new moves, One-Winged Angel and You Rang?, have been added.
Basic Moves
- Several changes to layout have been made.
- Unleash the Darkness had the World Darkness option removed, and had two purely fictional options added.

- Sync has its own heading, including a new move that uses World Sync.
- A heading on Destiny has been added.
