MEGALOS v0.95 Update - ToC, KS pages, final release plans


Groodaffernuwun

Eyyyyy v0.95 is here. Last pre-release version. I've managed to knock out the change goals & keep up with the newly discovered bugs as they've been discovered. We're at the last big push of stuff I wanted to get done before I'm comfortable calling it done-done, which means the next release is going to be me shoving this thing out of the nest to see if it'll fly or not.

Changelog v0.95

  • Added: Table of Contents & acknowledgements message.
  • Added: Personalities & Plothooks- interesting NPCs & how to use them; section added to the end of Chapter 14 - Monsters & Mistborn. 
  • Normalized several instances of action-related text being the wrong color or style.
  • Witch Talent Cauldron Bubble changed to include any Elixir or Phoenix Ash they use, not just those created with IP. This previous wording meant that the talent wasn't affecting Elixirs & Ashes made using Chymist Coalescence, which didn't make much sense, either just in general or especially given the name of the fkng talent.
  • Fixed the "Macharian adventurers are often..." entry, as it was previously just showing the same info as the one for Loethian adventurers.
  • Fixed the incorrect page number types (standard black text) on Unshrouded Lands & Oradam Rift Worldbook splash pages. Didn't fix these on the chapter headpages because I somehow didn't notice them until after optimizing the files.

To Do Before Final Release

  • Link the ToC and incidental page references to make sure you can click-navigate the document.
  • p. 7, 3rd paragraph, "... aetherological science stand in to replace the physics & chemistry of our own real world" should be "... stands in" as in text-only version.
  • Fix the inaccuracies on both the basic character sheets & the book's own quickplay character sheets (Elixir healing 12 instead of 10, powers should reflect balance changes, etc.)
  • Fix chapter headpages to remove page numbers (page numbers are visible in black; I've missed this several times because the page numbers aren't visible in the layout program, only once exported)
  • Final balance changes/calling revisions
  • Slightly increase healing & barrier effects more or less across the board
  • Improve Forfend effects and slightly clarify their text
  • Increase Rune Magus' Compassion spell's barrier effect to justify its Recovery cost.
  • Final math check on average damage per round after healing/barrier rebalance. This final check may lead to tweaks being made to any of the following: Calling Base Damage, Weapon Bonus Damage, Base HP, Armor HP, Foe damage values. Any such changes made will be noted in the final release changelog.
