In Golden Flame v1.03


Major Changes

  •  BEAT 22: The Hall of Mirrors now has two extra pages added in which it is possible to hold a conversation with CAUSTIC.
  • Added section in Running the Campaign: The Team (p. 61) regarding team backstories, including six new alternate backstories.
  • In keeping with major lore changes made to Act 2 (work still in progress), all references to the diasporan Kingdom Aniline have been retroactively removed. House Aniline is now a minor house of the House of Smoke.

Mechanical

  • COMBAT: A Face to a Name - the coolant pipe junctions are now in a line, and rupture in sequence. They can now also be intentionally triggered by characters shooting them.
  • COMBAT: Shoo the Vultures - removed Sentinel from 4-player lineup.
  • COMBAT: Silence the Guns - removed Rapid Response from Archer.
  • COMBAT: Silence the Guns - Bombard moved to 4-player lineup from 5-player lineup. Added High-Impact Shells.
  • COMBAT: Silence the Guns - Assault moved to 5-player lineup from 4-player lineup.
  • COMBAT: Silence the Guns - reactors can now explode.
  • COMBAT: Break the Line - added Assault Launcher to Lobber.
  • The Cult Influence clock did not specify how many ticks it should have. This has been rectified to 8.

Statistical

  • Corrected orbit distance of Impact Plaza from 357,000 km to 187,000 km. Some intern accidentally parked the station at the L4 LaGrange of the wrong moon, and has consequently been shoved out of an airlock.

Formatting

  • Reflowed parts of Running the Campaign: The Team (p. 61).
  • Reflowed combats to remove "The Battlefield" and "The Fight" section headers, ironically allowing more space for information about the battlefields and the fights.

Writing and Lore

  • A number of corrections in typography, spelling, grammar and formatting that, due to the fact that I started doing it way before I started making this changelog, will have to go unenumerated.
  • Decreased instances of the word "fuck" in Act 1 from 82 to 67, meaning I officially give 18.29% less of a fuck.
  • All references to "RA" by Valentinian children changed to "YMIR," to better reflect their dad's weird obsession.
  • Added more detail about outlander culture to ENCOUNTER: Ghost Town.
  • Added the worst line in the history of writing to COMBAT: Bad Star.
