Release Note discussion!

Would it be possible to change the naked code a little bit?

So, like with current rules change it to something like, mostly naked or almost naked then save just naked for when they actually have nothing at all on? I think that would nicely fix the issue with all these NPCs showing up naked when they are not.

With the changes to brew, are older cures now useless?

Or will it only really take effect in making new things?

Old cures are useless. Have to learn the new cures now.

If already made old cures are useless, and not just the recipes, methinks that would be a very bad call.

Some of them appear to still be functional. Maybe not all.

I mean, you had a years notice to swap over...
Lizard time.

Completely irrelevant. But I laughed at the amount of times 'Naked' Was used in this post.

Do they still sell the old cures in the shops?

Those of us that came back more recently and knew the old system haven't had much time to try and figure out the new system and what makes cures for what issues. I've been trying to learn, but I'm just not sure how to figure anything out without trying to poison my PC and then try random combinations since finding PCs with the knowledge IG has proven to be more difficult than I thought.

Took me some 2-3 YEARS of playing to get information IG on the old system.

     "OG did i jsut do that?"

I love the players of this game.
That's not a random thought either.

Oh my god. We dont know how to make cures anymore! This must be how it feels to be a newbie. Scary scary world :)


I got shocked as well. I didnt realize old cures were obsolete now.

I didn't have the least bit of interest in the new code. I guess I'll have to start being interested now!

The new code is fun. I really enjoy it. It's also more flexible and makes a lot more IG sense than the old one.

My take is it's funner for people creating the cures, but less reliable for people consuming the cures. Have to have the skill to actually tell what a given cure does. So the rest of us are at the mercy of the Crafters.

Once every one ypdates their spreadsheets and swap them around on discord we should see a more reliable, easier to use system reemerge.

That's honestly the way it should always have been. Get you a reliable medic.

Yeah it's just an adjustment is all. I can always play dwarves in the meantime if I really don't want to bother. Just aren't enough medic PCs around....yet.

I'm more excited for the ability to use bloodied as a proper keyword.

Spread a wave of rumors that cures are based on vile magick and to not be trusted, then just ignore the new code.

Please don't spread information around OOCly. If you don't want to enjoy the game as it's presented, there are other options for you to experience fun and excitement in today's modern world than ruining the secret for other players of our game.

1. I haven't been playing a year so I don't know what years notice you are talking about.

2. if an item linked to a heavy coded feature of the game like living becomes obsolete its just common decency to say they don't work anymore, and most codebases let you delete useless items.

Is this a joke or do people actual ruin the game this way?

There are some people who do this, yes. The publicizing of this information is harmful to the game IMO but the fact that people know the information, in general, is not, also IMO. The fact that some (mostly former) players don't understand the nuances that differentiate "knowing" and "publically making the info available" is the most harmful, IMO.

QuoteThe pour command can now be used to pour liquids into the mouths of unconscious, paralyzed, and subdued characters.  This feature is a result of seeing players attempt it in the game and not having it work the way vials do.
