Rules

The various chapters of our rules are linked below.  Now that we have finished our 2017 Playtest year, we will likely only be releasing errata 1-2 times per year. Expect a summary of any changes and updates to be announced and posted to our Forum as they make it into the live versions.

We encourage anyone new to our system to read Chapters 0-3 first. These are foundational chapters that will help you to better understand all subsequent rules. We also highly recommend reviewing Chapter 8, as understanding the tagline system will allow you to process most of the in-game mechanics you come across.
