Across a Thousand Hollow Vaults lore

Hello! Since according to the poll I created the other day you guys are most excited about ATHV, I wanted to show you what little I have that is presentable already. I have many more pages written, of course, but since it's all rules it's all in a state of flux. So here are the first two intro chapters to the game.

I've gone back and forth with this decision, but I'm making ATHV a standalone expansion. This means that the book will have all the rules to play the game, without requiring a copy of Across a Thousand Dead Worlds. The expansion was already changing a lot of the combat rules, all of the gameplay procedures, character creation and loot, so essentially the only thing that remains the same are the core rules. Since those are just a handful of pages, I figured I might as well include them in this book, for those who want to play this chapter but aren't interested in the first. It already feels like a different game anyway (and this is exactly how I envisioned it since I first started writing ATDW, so I'm just following my plan).

If I manage to wrap up the next chapter (character creation) before the month's over, I'll share it with you guys as well! But for now, this is it. What do you think?
