Forgive me if this has already been asked/answered, but is there a template of the playbooks Google spreadsheet that has been updated to v8 (release)? Or is there a way to make the PDFs editable and filled/marked (more than just adding text)?

I do not have access to a printer and all of my games are online.

Thanks for the responses in advance.

So I don’t know if I’m asking in the right place, or if this has been answered somewhere else, like on the Kickstarter – haven’t been able to find anything on here at least – but is the hand drawn super detailed has-every-building-in-Doskvol-sort-of map going to be in the Special Edition hardcover only, or is it going to be released later in some other form, or is it somehow in the released pdf but someone did a ritual to make it invisible to mundane non-occult types like myself? Has the whole thing been scrapped because it was just too beautiful and ambitious a thing for this harsh, cold world? It just looked so gorgeous on stream the few times I’ve seen it, I have to admit I was more than a little sad to not find it in the book. Apart from that, I completely love the release, the changes, the more developed setting and background, and am totally giddy to change to the new rules with my group next week. Just wanted to know if I’d missed something.

A wish for the next update: Could we get a 2nd faction sheet with agendas with clocks and allies/enemies, (ideally a short description of each faction as well)?

Going over the alchemical rules, and I feel like maybe I’m not grokking something about how this ecosystem is supposed to work.

If I play a Leech, there are some alchemicals I replenish automatically, and others I’d need to craft (via Long Term Project) or acquire (via Acquire Asset).

But crafting them seems ludicrously expensive. If I want Fire Oil, I’ve totally got some, but if I want Ghost Oil, that’s an 8-clock of Long-Term Project I’ve got to fill – which could totally add up to 3 downtime actions. If I possibly can, it’s way more efficient for me to just buy the Ghost Oil, using Acquire Asset — I’ll need a crit + 2 coin, or extra coin, but that sounds way more feasible to me than “oh, gee, I’m going to need this specific oil three scores from now.”

(Or I guess if you need it urgently than you invest the coin in speeding up a long-term project so it’s only one downtime phase?)

I don’t know; it just feels a little wonky to me. It seems to undercut having much flexibility in the Leech’s arsenal, and make creating new alchemicals feel like a pointless task.

Compare to the Whisper, who can complete new rituals within a downtime action or two. That feels more appropriate to me. I’m much less able to see how I’m supposed to plan out my lab time in anticipation of what alchemicals I’m going to need :-/

Any thoughts? Many thanks 🙂

The Faction Game v8

The Faction Game v8

The Faction Game v8

Here’s the new mechanic for the Faction Game in v8. I’ve changed the cost of development and simplified hold to only two states (either strong or weak). I wanted to remove the ‘false choice’ feeling in this part of the game and make it more straightforward. There are plenty of interesting choices elsewhere in the game, so I wanted this part to boil down to “pay to increase Tier now, or not” more or less.
