New BETA just dropped!

Attributes are how you gain DP now. Denizens were the only ones to get attributes (aka "Base Powers"), but the concept is easy enough to extend to archetypes that already have level cost.

New BETA update dropping as I type this.

I'd appreciate if some game groups can get the sagas test played (there are 2 now). There are so many ways players can go with them, that I need a bigger sample size for how things went before I can finalize all of the text.

Thanks!

I like the Norn disir levels. I will probably tweak the duration since my group plays less frequently and for shorter times, but should otherwise be fine.

I was looking at using Abate for the meta on items with 0 Parry and 0 DF. For things like stages and the like.

New BETA drop, I can actually see the finish line now!

It's another rather meaty update in time for the weekend games.

Any groups test-play the sagas at the back of the BETA? I'll need some more data points from the various run-throughs.

Also going to polish off the SoM and jump on the Einherjar updates today. Plus the next update will have the skeleton to the Naglfar saga.

New BETA drop!

Einherjar joins the ranks of the playable archetypes. There are a few new QR formulas for immortal powers that needs some checks and balances. I think there's too much power-creep, but with immortals everyone wants some. Mathletes welcome to check it.

JarlDM: probably best to master the basic stuff before adding half-baked BETA content which will confuse the heck out of new players who won't be sure if it's all playing as intended/advertised. Most of the content in LotA is for advanced Disir levels because of two reasons (1) the lore surrounding the new content should be known and understood by the player before they take on the new roles. Lots of "drenched in cannon" stuff here, and (2) quite a few of the new archetypes have crazy rules like Angel of Death can draw from Drain. So this is a step up from the regular rune-chain meta stuff. Soon padawan, soon ;)
