Hi, folks!

We've had a great first day itchfunding - we've nearly paid for editing! While I was working on the Scrivener's Kit yesterday, I realized there were some thing I wanted to add to the core game, so I did!

The Combat section has been renamed to Action & Combat and now includes some guidance on actions, initiative, and distance. It also adds a new subsystem for what happens when a picaroon is reduced to 0HP:

If you drop to 0HP, choose one immediately:

Carry On: Transfer all of your current marks to a loved one. You have died, but live on in them.
Save Self: Make a test to apply first aid to yourself; if successful, return to 1HP but unable to participate for the rest of the scene, otherwise die.
Use It: Sacrifice a HD to get back into it; reroll remaining HD to determine your new HP.
Wait it Out: Roll HD; unless someone renders first aid in that many rounds, you die.

Anyone can spend an action to provide first aid, testing as normal to bring you back to 1HP. Alternatively, if rendering first aid after the combat scene ends, they automatically succeed without a test.

This additional content meant we needed a new spread, bringing the page count (not counting cover pages) up to 8. That also meant we had plenty of leftover space in the spread for Tricks - so I added a few new ones: Encyclopedic, Knit Flesh, Negate, Reflect, and Telepathy.

Finally, a couple additions to the back page:

• Special appreciation is now sorted alphabetically by first name
• Special appreciation now includes shout outs to several more folks:
  • Dai Shugars and Micah Anderson for their help and feedback on layout
  • Lucas Rollim and Chris Bissette for their help with providing the new mockups for the page
• The Friendly Sponsors section has been added, featuring our first sponsor, Monkey's Paw Games! Please do take a couple minutes to check out some of their awesome work, like Kanabo, UNCONQUERED, and Chalice!

(Aside: You can check out a design thread I dropped on twitter, too!)

Okay, folks! That's all for this update, see you soon!
