Wordplay

I’m right in the midst of a big edit to Wordplay today. It should ensure that the next release of the text will be on track for early June. It’s going to be a big one. Core game is unchanged, but it will have a good reorganisation and lots of nice touches and improvements. Wordplay could well be finished in June. Although further refinement will continue throughout the year, we will have a solid base to be used for the open PDF and for next Spring’s book. Focus will switch to Themes and how we plan to release the game.

Hero Points have been included as an option in the ‘Advice for Guides’ chapter, with four suggestions on how they are awarded and managed in the game.

I’m just having my 40K word count party right now!

Here’s  something I’ve put in on Power Payback Challenges…

If Wordplay’s default payback challenge is too frequent or burdening to the game’s vision of the power being used, then only require a payback challenge if the number of successes kept is equal to or greater than the foundation trait used.

I’m moving onto Trait Morphing now and then looking at some ideas from Dom on how to factor in Scale that provides or receives support from lower scale Traits.
