Thank you and and update 1.1


First of all I'd like to thank everyone who downloaded this game in the last week. We've had over 100 downloads and a handful of people chose to purchase the game. I'm really humbled anyone would do that, thank you again. I'll also give an extra shout out to whoever got this game put up on Mork Borg Ex Libris! Thanks.

I noticed several remaining typos and some rule inconsistencies, especially between the main rules text and the rules reference in the back. The fillable character sheet PDF had some issues with boxes only allowing for one line of text making them almost unusable for online play. That has been fixed.

I was always on the fence about how blocking should work, multiple play testers suggested changes or were confused about the difference between AT and BT and after another session I decided to implement a simpler roll  STR to block system, with bonuses to block or parry being an attribute of a specific shield. This keeps it inline with the main d20 mechanic and allows for crits and fumbles which everyone likes.

I also allowed Faith to modify hollowing dice rolls. Faith is a mental and emotional fortitude stat and it makes sense that a high faith character will be able to resist hollowing. This gives another incentive to put stats into faith and gives faith build characters an extra advantage. Whether this is too much of an advantage remains to be seen.

If you've played the game and have any input feel free to comment on the itch.io page and let me know. Thanks again to everyone who has shown interest and supported Bonfire Bound this fist week.
