Latest revision as of 12:00, 15 June 2015
No reason to delete the original version. It still contains concepts players can use.
- Please sign your comments with ~~~~. With the conflicting versions and issues that some players are having with NPCs, I think the official version should be revised rather than having a competing version. I will not be formatting this document or linking to it. I will leave the decision to delete it to Scribes or other similarly wiki aware GM. Let's have one document, not two. If you want it up because there are sections that aren't referred to at all in the official document, those sections should have their own pages and a disclaimer.
