May Rules Update
by Jon Carter, First Edition Rules Master
6th May 2019
Howdy Friends!
In honor of the first day of spring the rules team decided to do a bit of glossary cleanup. However, your friendly neighborhood rules master lost track of time and missed the first Monday of last month. Rather than ferment chaos with a late series of rulings, we decided to give you a super package of rulings this month.
None of these should significantly change gameplay. Instead, they clear up recent questions, clear out some temporary rulings, and get us ready for the next set.
Here is a brief rundown of the how/why:
- Borg, Parallel Romance, gender, scouting-locations, assimilation-personal: you will see why we did this soon enough.
- Temporal-related and use (skills): cleaning up after the errata to Temporal Benefactor.
- Planet of Galactic Peace: Stephan Slaby asked for some clarification so this deck could happen.
- Actions – required: talking an old temporary ruling and making to official.
- Time location: nativity is no longer conferred only by time locations, so the rules needed to reflect this
- Modifier order, attribute modifiers, doubling, and dilemma resolution (first half): clearing up the relation between varied modifiers.
- Self-controlling card [self]: more monster fun!
- Dilemma part 2: we realized we were never super clear on what it meant to cure something.
- Mission: YOU CANNOT PLAY MISSIONS (with limited exceptions) ::glares at Brian S::
As always if there are things that need addressing, PM me or post in the forums.
The First Edition Rules Committee is scheduled to release rules updates on the first Monday of each month, if necessary.
This update takes effect immediately.
