0.6.0 - Hello Again

So, um, it's been a while.

There's not really a good explanation for why I stopped working on this.  Life happened in a lot of big ways, but not interesting ways to talk about here.  There's also not a good explanation for why now to come back to it.  It seemed like the right time.

This is a big one; I wanted to get the game mostly in-shape for campaign play, which means every playbook needed to get to six moves.  There's also an entire playbook that had to get cut because it wasn't working out, and a new playbook in its place.  Refer to the changelog down below for full information.  Please enjoy! I hope this is the start of me getting this to a 1.0 that I can be proud of.

Basic Moves

• Sync is no longer a track, but a currency.  The move Synchronize now explains how to use it.
• Learn Their Troubles has had a question modified.  “How does the Darkness trouble your people?” has become “How does the Darkness trouble you?” which should be more flexible.
• Help or Hinder is now a flat roll with the expectation you’ll rely on Sync to bypass it.
• Weather the Storm now allows you to take 1-Sync with your foe.
• Protect now has the option to give Sync to the person protected, rather than taking Sync over the person you protected.

Playbooks

• All Playbooks: Darkest Self descriptions have been removed.  It is now up to players to decide what their Darkest Self looks like.
• All Playbooks: Sync has been simplified to a notes section on the back of the playbook.
• All Playbooks: The number of starting moves has been increased from two to three.
• The Prodigy has been removed and replaced with The Shadow.  Like the Prodigy, the Shadow comes from a ruined world; their role, however, was as a sidekick to the world’s champion.  With the champion missing, the Shadow must step up to fill their shoes.

• The Weaver: A new move, No Room for Failure, has been added.
• The Kid: Don’t Mess with My Friends now rolls +Heart instead of +Sync.
