In place of a regular article today, I wanted to share the new rules with you all as it’s incredibly important. You can find a wealth of information inside this ‘mini’ article.

This is going to be short and sweet today as I’d rather you spend the time you would here looking over and reading the new rulebook. Seriously, everyone should read the rules, even the most basic things like moving, taking actions, etc. There’s new things at every corner and it would do you good to read through.

Most players haven’t actually read through the rules before, and we’re in a unique time in that everyone is starting fresh with these changes. Read them twice. Read them five times; whatever works best for you. Anyway, here’s some information below:

The new core rule book can be found here:

While all of this is super valuable, there’s a LOT of discussion going on about these new changes. Here are two links that I think will be a big help in discerning what has changed and how players are reacting:

Each of these sources should help and are a great place to post questions if you aren’t sure about something. I’m currently reading through everything for my first run, but I’m so busy (like I talked about last week) that I don’t know when I’ll get around to reading everything.

Regardless, once I have time to digest everything, I’ll 100% be writing about what the big changes are. I still encourage you to read through them yourself though because there are things that either I may interpret incorrectly, or there might be something that I don’t cover that’s very important to the new gameplay. So please, give them a read! And don’t skip anything! The tiniest of changes can be hidden.

Remember, we’re all in this together and every one of us is learning these new rules for the first time.

I’ll see you all next week when things are hopefully calming down and we’ll be just a day away from the Mighty Thor release, as well as Undead and the official launch date of these new rules! Take care everyone and happy reading!
