* [[Clothing and armor]]: All clothes that had the Ballistic protective trait lose it.

Changes to [[Mining]] have been introduced to simplify it and make it easier.
* Mining now works according to a hit point system instead of a chance-to-succeed system. The objective is to make mining more of a straight trade of resources and favor strength-based builds (which would already benefit from using tools like pick-axes and mattocks as weapons).
* Each mining target (ore bundle, obstructions) now has a set number of hit points.
* A pick or drill strike reduces the target's hit points; the check is based on the skill level (1d20 to 1d60, in increments of 10), multiplied by Strength.
* Explosives damage equal to their limb damage multiplied by a number that depends on skill level (x1 to x3, in 0.5 increments).
* The length of a Mining Level has been shortened from 15 + Mine level to 8 + Mine level
* It is now possible to save your progress exploring a mine and leave without having to start over from Level -1.
* New items at the mining supplies store now allow you to reset your progress in a mine and start over.

The tube is replaced automatically when the character is done reloading.* The [[Winchester Model 270]] stats have been modified to reflect that it is a rifle with a traditional inner tube.Redrawn Map Update

Changes to ==== [[ammunitionAddictions]]====* New addiction mechanics simplifying the previous system:As before, using a substance comes with a percentage chance of becoming addicted. However, the withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply. Now, every use of an addictive substance is a chance to increase the current addiction level by 1, from the minimum of 0 (no effects) to the maximum of 3.* Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance's effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character uses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.* [[Small boltHospital]]: Base damage nerfed by 4% Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (461 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have been modified:** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0% ** Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a drink (level 1) applies to this character (see below), *** Level 2: Need a drink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -> 42%1*** Level 3: Need a drink (level 3)applies to this character (see below), Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: Mild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage** Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations

Changes to core gameplay mechanics:==== [[Skills]] ====* The '''C2''' [[Armor ClassLockpicking#Picking electronic locks|electronic lockpicking]] is entirely scrapped from the game, as it is considered unnecessary. The AC previously called C3 is now known as C2. All weapons and ammunition in the game no longer have a damage value for the scrapped AC. Most clothing minigame has been updated with an easier and armor that was classified as C2 will be reclassified as C1more balanced variant.

* [[9x25mm Dillon]]: Base damage buffed by 1% (54% -> 55%), so that the new C2 damage value (old C3) becomes 50% (previously 49%).
Notes:= April 20th 2022 =* Creatures have not been modified yet, as the bestiary update is still in progress'''Version 6.5.1''' - Simplification Update #10: Completely Baked Edition
==== Basic game mechanics ====
* [[Recoil]] has been simplified; there is no point of aim shift after crossing ADT anymore (due to it being a remnant of when Recoil required checking for shot order).
= March 17th 2020 === [[Weapon accessories]] ====Effect changes to the following accessories:* Laser sights: No longer cancel the point of aim shift (as that mechanic has been deleted), now gives '''Version 5.5IR -1''' - Game mechanics changes, new ammo types.
Changes to [[Recoil]]:
* Recoil calculation and effects no longer rely on exact shot order, but now instead only needs total shots fired, significantly cutting down on the amount of time that needs to be spent counting and checking shots.
* The new Recoil system works as follows: Every Recoil level has a limit of shots (the Accuracy Drop Threshold, or ADT) that can be fired - if a character shoots over ADT, accuracy and aim wandering effects are applied to the entirety of the shot string, and not just the shots that go over ADT. A second level with even more severe penalties is applied if the amount of shots fired is equal to more than double the limit.
** As before, going over ADT will result in aim wandering (which sends shots to &bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim), however instead of being applied only starting from the shot that went over the limit, aim wandering applies to ALL shots if the total amount of shots fired goes over the limit. [[Weapon accessories#Laser sights|Laser sights]] still cancel out this aim wandering effect.
** Accuracy windows and effects of going over ADT once and twice will also be updated.
Changes to [[Combat mode]] and [[Weapons]]; specifically, '''[[Weapons#Firearm failure types|critical failure]]''' effects:* Like with Recoil changes above, critical failure effects no longer rely on knowing exact shot order, but only the total shot count, and in particular the critical failure count.= March 22nd 2022 =** '''Failures to eject (stovepipes)''': For every stovepipe that occurs, the two highest scoring shots (excluding critical failures) are cancelled. If 3 stovepipes occur in a single string of fire, the Version 6 highest scoring shots are never fired. This has the potential of cancelling critical hits.** 5'''Failures to fire (misfires)''': No changes.** '''Failures to feed''': *** If '''2 or less''' occurred during the same string of fire: Same as stovepipes.*** If '''3 or more''' occurred during the same string of fire: All shots are cancelled and the weapon is considered to be '''jammed'''; this can be fixed by performing a reload action.** '''Failures to burn''': No changes.- Further Balance Updates
New ==== Basic game mechanics ====Changes to the following core game mechanics:* Major change to the [[ammunition typeslimb groups]] for pistol and rifle caliberssystem:* hits to the LIMB group now cause '''Tracer (T)0.5x''': FMJ bullets with an illuminating compound at the base of the bullet, which lights up and displays bright, colored light when fired. Tracer ammunition is used to visibly see the flight path of a bullet, and is useful for controlling long strings of fire, particularly full auto, damage (same as it allows a shooter hits to physically see where the bullets are going.** Effects: Increases ADT by a certain amount EXTREMITIES) instead of shots, which scales with Recoil level. However, it always breaks Stealth even when shot with a silenced firearm; the tracer light works both ways and can be seen by others, thus revealing your position.*** Recoil 1-2: ADT +4 shots*** Recoil 3-4: ADT +3 shots*** Recoil 5-6: ADT +2 shots*** Recoil 7-8: ADT +1 shots* '''Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP)''': Also known as metal-piercing bullets, they offer a lower cost alternative to full AP or APX, but are less effective at defeating armored targets.** Effects: previous 0.8x damage against unarmored ACs, 14x.3x damage against armored ACs.* Retail ammunition using these new projectiles is now also available:** [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Standard T** [[.30 Carbine]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T** [[.30-06 Springfield]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[.303 British]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[.32 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[.357 Magnum]]: Standard SAP** [[.357 SIG]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon SAP** [[.380 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T** [[.40 S&W]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP** [[.45 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP, Milsurp T** [[.50 BMG]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[4.6x30mm]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[5.45x39mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[5.56x45mm NATO]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[5.7x28mm]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[5.8x42mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x25mm Tokarev]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Cold T, Milsurp Cold SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[7.62x39mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Reduced Velocity SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x54mm R]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x51mm NATO]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[7.92x33mm Kurz]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[7.92x57mm Mauser]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[9x18mm Makarov]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, High Impulse T, High Impulse SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[9x19mm Parabellum]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[10x25mm Auto]]: Standard SAP

This update aims at simplifying some of the mechanics related to the Blood statistic.
=January 23rd 2022 = General changes ==* Blood no longer naturally heals at a rate of 0.1 per turn, making Pain the only statistic that naturally regenerates every turn no matter what. If you have no wounds, your current Blood level stabilizes at its current level.* Natural blood regeneration is now tied to the daily reset; on top of the nutrition/hydration that is normally lost at midnight ingame, your body will attempt to regenerate 1 unit of Blood on its own every day (as long as there are no open wounds at that moment). Upon hitting the daily resert, you will lose 150 ntri and 2% Fatigue, and regenerate 1 Blood instantly. This is intended to incite finding BTKs or pay for a medic. If neither is possible, the tried and tested "buy food and let it heal over a few days" also works, however it may take several in-game days for large amounts of lost Blood. * Blood Transfusion Kits now carry 3 units of Blood each instead of 5. Full BTKs now cost 350 P$ instead of 550 P$.* A new type of medical item ('''Epoetin-alfa''', syringe) can be consumed to start a 20-turn effect resembling the old natural regeneration effect: +0Version 6.1 Blood per turn, in exchange for -15 ntri and +03.2% Fatigue per turn. In total, the item would help your body regenerate up to 2 Blood but burn up to 300 ntri and 4% Fatigue. Syringes of Epoetin-alfa cost 100 P$, making them the cheapest syringe-type medical item.* Changes to 10'''Augmentations''': - The Guardian LSS no longer increases the amount of Blood regenerated per turn1000-Weapon Update, since that mechanic is gone. Instead, each level increases the amount of Blood regenerated every day by 1, at no extra cost of nutrition and fatigue. Level 1 therefore lets you heal 2 Blood per day, Level 2 is 3 Blood per day, and Level 3 is 4 Blood per day, all for the same cost of 150 ntri/2% Fatigue per turn, making it viable to heal large amounts of Blood loss over the space of a few days.* Changes to '''Clothing protections'''Part 10: Buffs to protection ratings. ''-Resistant'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 4 limb damage (previously, 2), Pistols and ''One-PROOF'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 8 limb damage (previously, 4).handed clubs

Survival is mainly inspired from old-school MazeWorld, it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once was.[[Mauser C96 Red 9]] depending on loaded ammunition
When playing Survival, players have the option Changes to choose between two modes[[Maze Customs magazines]]: '''Tier X''' * Glock-SF .22 and Glock-LF .22 magazines: Capacity increased from 10 rounds to 12* 1911SS 9mm and 1911DS 9mm magazines deleted (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends replaced with the Survivor's death[[1911RO magazines]] and [[P-18 magazines]], or at player requestrespectively).
The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows:
* No towns or intersections as players know them - Survival is an endless Uncivilized Area streak, equivalent to a Deep route. Explorable areas can even still be found and completed for their rewards!
* Nutrition and Hydration Reset occur every time the Survivor reaches a Trading Post (TP reset). In turn, the reset is much lower than normal. The base values are 420 ntri and 140 wtr (0.2x a normal daily reset).
* Date and time are not tracked.
* No Faction Reputation and no Renown to worry about.
* All skills are unlocked: Survivors start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills (unless skill levels were purchased at Startgame)
* The Survivor starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).
* Every 50 rooms, the Survivor will find a Trading Post, which is nothing more than an intersection with a fixed amount of shops and services (see below for details)
* On the room following every second Trading Post (101, 201, 301...), the Survivor will find a Challenge. Completing the Challenge is necessary to progress forwards!
* If playing on Tier X, X corresponds to the amount of Challenges the player must complete in order to reach the end.
** There is no upper limit on the Tier number (and subsequent amount of Challenges), though in order to keep games from being unreasonably long, the author's recommendation is to keep it between 1 and 10, and any longer games should be Endless instead.
** The author personally recommends first-time players and GMs to try Survival Tier 4, for a 401-room adventure.
* Mercenaries function differently:
** The time-based hiring rates do not apply, and are instead replaced by a 50-room hiring rate (corresponds to the distance between Trading Posts). That special rate is equivalent to 2x the 24-hour rate.
** Upon being hired, a mercenary will immediately join the Contestant with no waiting time.
** Merc deaths do not need to be reported.
** All mercenaries show up with their gear. There are no gear costs - their equipment is essentially free.

Each Survivor will be entered into a leaderboard for creatures killed and KV score obtained at the end of their run, as well as rooms visited in Survival Endless3.9''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 9: Grenade launchers and Knives
== Freeform play ==This is essentially 12 new weapons added to the normal game(2 firearms, but without main story quests or sidequests and with certain shops10 melee weapons), services and other conveniences immediately available. This mode aims at a more relaxed experience, without bringing the pressure of the pre-made main story, as well as offering an opportunity total to design your own stories and plots888.
The main differences introduced by Freeform are as follows* Firearms:* All skills are unlocked. Freeform characters start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills, as well as a MAIM account.* The Freeform character starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).[[Class 1 weapons]]:** Reputation and Renown requirements from certain mercenaries are disabled.* [[NAWS China Lake]]* Roazon is collapsed, exactly as it would after the Contestant completes Sidequest S3-2.** [[Springfield T148E1]]* All repeatable activities are availableMelee weapons: Trading Missions, Mercenary Contracts, Mining, and Bounty Hunter* Several shops and services that are normally only obtained as sidequest rewards are available from the start* [[Class 5 Short weapons]]:** The Power Armor Shop (Ferland Sector) is available and fully upgraded.* [[Bou-shuriken]]** The Advanced Handloading Services are available at the Ellen Sector factory.* [[Gerber Mark II]]** The Powder & Primer Shop is available at the Littleton factory.* [[Handmade knife]]* Renown and Reputation are disabled, to allow GMs more flexibility.** [[Heavy throwing knife]]** It is recommended to replace any rewards in Renown/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense. * [[Kamisori]]*** [[Karambit]]*** [[Last Blood]] (e.g. Vigilante workartifact)*** [[Smatchet]]*** [[Stun knife]]*** [[Throwing knife]]
= January 17th 2019 2nd 2022 ='''Version 56.13.8''' - KISS The 1000-Weapon Update (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)Part 8: Hand grenades and Axes
This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough.==== New weapons ====
== Simplified nutrition and hydration ==* Nutrition and hydration no longer decay at a rate of 1 per turn. Instead, these stats are slashed by a set amount at a fixed rate and frequency, 11 new weapons added to symbolize meeting daily recommended needs; these are called the '''Nutrition Reset''' and '''Hydration Reset''', respectively.** Nutrition is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Nutrition by an amount equivalent to game (meat worth x 30). For a human6 firearms, that amount is 2100 ntri. ** Hydration is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Hydration by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 105 melee weapons). For a human, that amount is 700 wtr.* Nutrition and hydration each have new value ranges and corresponding effects; they are generally simpler and more clear-cut effects.** Nutrition going too high will increase minimum Fatigue, and eventually reduce Agility.** Nutrition going too low will decrease Strength, and eventually disable bringing the ability total to heal Pain, Blood or Limb Damage (due to the body not having the "fuel" to do so).** Hydration going too low will decrease Strength, then Accuracy, then cause Hallucinations, until eventually causing death876.
== Simplified fatigue ==* Firearms:* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue"). Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist.* [[Class 4 weapons]]:* The "Energized" tier is deleted.** [[Model 9210]]* Reaching an amount of Fatigue equal to 2x Endurance will result in death.** [[Model 9430 Tear-ball]]* All effects of high fatigue now decrease Agility, and eventually decrease accuracy and cause Hallucinations** [[Model 9590 Sting-ball]]*** [[No.77]]*** [[Stinger]]*** [[Zarya-3]]* Melee weapons:** [[Class 5 Long weapons]]:*** [[Hookaroon]]*** [[Ice axe]]** [[Class 5 Short weapons]]:*** [[Falx]]*** [[Gerber Downrange Tomahawk]]*** [[Tomahawk]]
== Simplified clothing and armor ==* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:** Trauma plates - which still continue to work as they normally do** Powered armor - which require a condition meter to determine protection level. When wearing power armor, damage calculation is greatly simplified - 1 limb damage sustained Other changes ==== 1 armor condition lost.* Cutting clothes into rags (as long as they have the RagOK tag) now always succeeds and results in obtaining 1d4 Rags (at least 1 is now guaranteed). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up.
== Simplified weapon maintenance ==Changes to existing weapons:* The Reliability/Max Cleanliness stat is scrapped.* Durability is renamed Max Condition, and all firearms' Max Condition values have been rewritten.* Critical failures have been completely revamped and simplified. Condition is now meant [[M84]]: Weight changed to be lost on a critical failure, and for each 2 rolled, the new command '''@critfail2''' must be used.** @critfail contains 80 possible effects, half of which are simple condition loss effects (ranging from 100 to 2000). The other half are condition loss effects (ranging from 50 to 1000) with a weapon failure (failure to fire, eject, etc.1) effect on top. If the relevant weapon is a melee weapon or does not have a corresponding weapon failure type, the condition loss effect is doubled instead.
Changes to handloading:
* Load level (hotness) of ammunition affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. -P/Cold: Condition loss x0.5. +P/Hot: Condition loss x2. +P+/Super: Condition loss x4.
* Powder quality of ammunition also affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. Surplus: Condition loss x3. Premium: Condition loss x0.5.
* These effects may stack. Round up any results.
* If shooting ammunition of mixed hotness or powder quality in the same turn (''not recommended!''), the hottest and dirtiest ammunition fired that turn is used as a reference for ''all'' rounds fired that turn.
Changes to weapon accessories:= January 1st 2022 =* Since Cleanliness no longer exists, silencers no longer apply a malus on the equipped firearm'''Version 6.3.7''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 7: Underbarrel weapons and Crude weapons
Changes 12 new weapons added to crafting:* Gun Cleaning Kits: They are now used to restore a firearm's Conditionthe game (2 firearms, as long as it's 60% or higher. Gun Repair Kits can still be used at any Condition percentage10 melee weapons), bringing the total to 865.
Changes to Maze Customs* Firearms:* Improved barrels now have different effects.* [[List of underbarrel shotguns|Underbarrel shotguns]]:** 4150CS barrel: Max Condition x1.25.* [[Lockhart UBS-12]]** 4150CS + Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating* [[Ten-X Tactical TX-12 STW]]* Melee weapons: Max Condition x1.5** 4150CS + Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coating[[Class 5 Long weapons]]: Max Condition x2** 4150CS + NP3 coating: Max Condition x1.25, Condition loss on critical failure x0.* [[Guitar]]*** [[Mop]]*** [[Signboard]]*** [[Skull staff]]*** [[Ted]]** [[Class 5Short weapons]]:** Rechambering a firearm with an improved barrel no longer causes the improved barrel to be replaced by a normal one (forcing the user to re-purchase the barrel improvements again). Making engineers slightly less evil!...* [[Crysknife]]** Maze Customs now also offers the possibility to return to a non-improved, stock barrel, for 100 P$.* [[Dart]]*** [[Ibuki Gourd]]*** [[Ice pick]]*** [[Worm tooth]]
== Extras ==* New command[[crafting]] items: '''@asktsuchi'''. Ask a yes/no question and use that command. Results may vary. = November 27th 2018 ='''Version 5 update''' - The Finished State update == Quests ==* '''Story Arc #3[[Blueprints]]: The Human-Youkai War''' released! Features 33 questsSkull blueprint, 1 sidequest, and 1 emergency quest.Fremen blueprint* '''Endgame content''' now available! The Contestant story may now come to an end as soon as all four Amulets are gathered == Content ==Abilities[[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Ingredient items]]:* Several special abilities were renamed to '''techniques''', due to their similarity with martial arts techniques. Techniques are actions that can be performed instead of a regular combat action, and which, if the prerequisites are met, may allow their users to perform special moves that wouldn't otherwise be possible.* Introduction of several new combat techniques:** Techniques that are learned upon reaching '''Expert skill level''' with a corresponding combat skill:*** Firearm techniques: Failure Drill (DA revolver, Semi-auto pistol/rifle/shotgun), Fanning (SA revolver), Mad Minute (Bolt-action), Recoil Control Stance (Automatic pistol/rifle/shotgun), Rifleman Trick (Lever-action), Zero's Trick (Pump-action)*** Melee techniques: Any-Bash (One- and Two-handed clubs), Any-throw (Thrown weapons), Backlash (Whip/Lash weapons), Desperate Smash (Crude weapons), Double Cleave (Axes, One- and Two-handed swords), Stabbing Rush (Knives)** Techniques that can be '''purchased''': Lightning Reload (available for 3000 P$ at any shooting range) Maze Customs:* Customs:Minor - 1 new tactical conversion ('''Pecheneg Zenit'''), 4 new minor barrel configurations ('''SCAR-H STD, SCAR-L STD, SCAR-L LB, SG551-LB''') Startgame:* '''Tsuchinoko''' update: Rarity is finally weaved into the drop rates for the weapon commands (@wpn @wpnc1 @wpnc2 @wpnc3 @wpnc4 @wpnc5L @wpnc5S @wpncHG). The original commands (with equal chances for each weapon) have been given the '''-e''' suffix (@wpn-e, @wpnc1-e, etc...); '''e''' stands for "'''equivalent'''" (in the sense that each weapon has the same chance to be rolled as any other).** Four new '''Tsuchinoko''' commands, '''@wpn-firearm''', '''@wpn-melee''', '''@wpn-firearm-e''' and '''@wpn-melee-e'''. The first two respectively roll only firearms (Classes 1-4) and melee weapons (Classes 5L, 5S, HG), and the last two are the equivalent chances versions of the first two.* Kitsune and alligator halflings are now playable (discontinuation of the RePoints system)* Equipment points to allocate have been increased from 5 to 10.* Unspent equipment points are now worth 200 P$ each instead of 150 P$, and are now paid entirely in copper coins.* Starting weapons are no longer dependent on the combat skills selected at the start. All of the packages are now available, and extra packages now only cost 2 equipment points instead of 3.* Difficulty modes are no longer tied to RePoints. The starting amount of lives (Hard: 1, Easy: 3, Messiah: Infinite) is fixed. == Meta ==* GM side changes: Planned migration away from Excel and fully towards Google Docs - from now on GMs and players should be using the same files; any changes and updates should be done through direct edition of the player's GDocs sheet. Any information that is hidden from the player should be kept on a separate, GM-only file (preferably also on GDocs) which lists only the hidden information and nothing else.* Migration to the new wiki will begin shortly after the release of this update.* The RePoints system is discontinued (please check the corresponding Patreon post for more information).Preserved skull
