Gravebound Edition Beta 1 Released!

Hello, everyone! I'm incredibly excited to finally share the first beta of Ker Nethalas - Gravebound Edition with all of you! As I mentioned in my previous post about it, this has been slowly building up for quite a while now, so I cannot wait to see what you all think. So head over to your DTRPG libraries and download it!

I will not get into all the details of what has changed, since you'll find a changelog with the rest of the downloads, but I do want to mention a few things:

• As you will quickly notice, there are a lot of grey boxes. That's a placeholder for the new art, which is still being worked on!

• The Index of Tables is NOT final; as a matter of fact, I haven't touched it yet.

• There's an actual, proper Index coming.

• There are no player aids, yet. Those will come once the game is 100% done.

• There are new character sheets, though! These reflect the couple of changes done. And we have a new fancy form fillable sheet too, thanks to the work of Verena, one of my Patreon members!

I'm going to be removing most of the cards from sale, at least until they are updated. The zines and Book of Masteries will remain for sale until I update them (which is what I am currently working on).

Feedback

The whole point of releasing this first as a beta is to collect your feedback. The Gravebound Edition has been playtested, but just by a handful of people, so I expect a few things to be broken. Namely, the amount of Health enemies have, and possibly the player's Toughness. They might be either too high or too low. The rest of the game hasn't really changed that much, the only thing that affects balance is the change to how damage works, so I'm very confident about all other aspects of the game.

If you have any feedback, please send it to info@blackoathgames.com. I take all feedback very seriously, but please keep in mind that your individual impressions are just that, individual. This is a highly random game, and you might either destroy all enemies or be dead after your first encounter, so my job is to see how that averages among all players. I think the balance is already almost there, and the game plays great! Much faster than before.

Hope you enjoy it!
