Errata!


Hi all, 

Thanks to Lunadips's feedback, I have now updated the Rulebook and Playerboard with more clarifications on some of the rules and some typo clean up!

I have uploaded them as vErrata for now as there may be more changes to come! (the original versions are hidden for now)

Also included below a full errata!

Clarifying Questions  (for Rule Book):

-Page 2, Setting Up, #5: When placing clues can they be placed at the same location as the player? Can both clues end up in the same location?   Or should you re-roll if either occurs?

  • Answer: Clues can be placed at the same location as the player but should be rerolled if there are already one in a location, I will add this clarification to the rulebook!

-PC can save Daytime AP for Nighttime through resting in safe place. But Nighttime AP cannot be saved over for the next Daytime, correct?

  • Answer: Correct! That is to represent PC sleeping / resting during the daytime so they are more efficient working during the night. But sleeping during nightime will not help them work faster during day time!

-Page 3, Establish Advantage for a Day: does this only apply to the current Day. For example, you cannot spend 3 clues just before the Villain Phase (i.e. when all AP spent) to then use it for the Day shift in the following round?

  • Answer: Yes! Advantage only apply to the current day, it will not work on the Villain Phase as the Villain effect normally apply at the start of next day shift (which is normally the next day time unless playing hardcore mode!)

-Page 3, Trigger Showdown: When this happens does the player have that single Action Phase to win the game?  So basically PC has a maximum of 9 rolls (if complete Day and Night shifts) to reduce the Waypoint maximum of 7 (Waypoint 13 - the minimum required knowledge of 3, so 13- 6)? So if the PC does it they win and if they do not they lose (e.g. Villain escapes)?  This would be a much more climatic ending than allowing the Rounds to keep going if the PC cannot succeed in that one Action Phase. 

  • Answer: Currently, the rules allow PC to continue through multiple shifts but you are right that it will be more exciting if it is limit to one Action Phase (or 2 shifts), It is now added as optional Hardcore mode!

-Page 3; Venture: in the solo game, the only benefit of being in a Safe Place seems to be if you roll a 4-6 during Villain Moves where it will protect you. Also it allows you to carry AP from Day to Night. Otherwise it doesn’t have any influence? Do I have that correct? For example, is the Villain Move roles 11+ then it does not matter whether your rogue was in a Safe Place, you immediately roll 1d6 to see if they are in a portentous or foreboding location?

  • Answer: Yes at the moment in board game mode, it is only allowing player to avoid villian 4-6 as well as carry AP to night shift, but in competitive mode, it will also allow player to avoid other player duelling them. I was thinking of adding a mode where an AI controlled rogue competes with the  PC so hopefully it will be more useful. If you play the RPG mode, it will also llow PC to heal while spending less AP.
    On the other hand, if you are playing hardcore mode, all lowered numbered villain phase action will also apply meaning, 7-10 will also trigger Face Danger if player is not in a Safe Place.

-Page 3, Diplomacy: a success in Diplomacy moves the contact’s disposition up but it is not stated by how much.  I assume it is a single space.

  • Answer: Yes, it is improved or reduced by 1 (In competitive mode against other rogue's agent)

-Page 4, Scenario, third paragraph: when identifying where your Rogue is located, is you did not make a Venture action to find a Safe Place previously, is Safe Place still an option when making the location roll?

  • Answer: Yes, if you can still randomly end up at a safe place!

-Page 4, Scenario: For the Explore or Investigation Scenarios does the PC have to stay at that location and reduce the Waypoint to zero to get the clues, or can they leave the location, not receive any clues but the waypoint stays at whatever level they had reduced it to that round, and when they return to that location they can continue the task?  I assume the former but wanted to check. 

  • Answer: Correct! The PC will have to stay at the location until completing all Waypoints. If they leave the location, all progress will be reset. I am however thinking of adding ways to move PC around during a scenario. 

-Page 4, Contacts: as I understand it if you lose a contact they are out of the game permanently. So a solo player with three contacts and they lose one contact, they cannot later recruit a contact to go back up to three, correct? This is in the rules, just making sure my interpretation is correct.

  • Answer: Yes! the contact will be permantly removed and cannot be re-established!

-Page 4, Contact Phase -  you roll on the Contact Phase table irrespective of the disposition of your contact and carry out the corresponding result, but if you roll a 1-4, you only get a clue set to you if the contact is Friendly or Helpful, correct

  • Answer: Correct, if the contact is Wary or Hostile, 1-4 will not provide daily clue.

-Page 5, Contact In Danger: - what to do when it is the contact Facing Danger and not the PC is not made clear in the rules. I believe it is the following:

-when contact in Danger, roll on City Location to determine # Waypoints.  And roll 1d4 + 1 for the clues.  So in this case you do not add the # of location clues but just add the one clue that the contact is carrying. Correct?

  • Answer: Yes, when contact is in Danger, PC will need to roll on Location to determine the number of Waypoints. However, I was thinking that PC will get the 1D4 + Location clues plus the 1 clue that the contact didn't send during the day! I will try to make it clearer!

-Page 6, Villain Moves: If the PC is already in a Face Danger Scenario do you ignore a role of 4-6, 7 or 11+ on the Villain Moves and just continue the Face Danger Scenario on the next round? If the PC was mid-way through an Exploration or Investigation Scenario and the Villain Moves table indicates they enter a Face Danger Scenario, do you end the Exploration/Investigation scenario and set up for a Face Danger Scenario starting from scratch against a new Way Point #?

  • Answer: This is a very good question! I think Face Danger will take precedence over exploration / investigation and PCs will be teleported to a Face Danger Scenario and they will have to start Waypoint count from scratch. But if they are already in a Face Danger scenario, they will just continue with the current scenario. I will add this to the rulebook when I update it! 

-Player Board, Villain section, Villain Moves: What does the asterisk on “ Roll D12 + number of clues PC Held* ” signify or which footnote does it refer to? Seems not needed?

  • Answer: You are right, will remove it :)
