Not sure if this was discussed before, but every time I try to load Voyage of the Moonstone the game crashes. Is this a known issue or is it just unique to me somehow? EDIT: I also switched profiles and tried to start the book anew, but it says the zip file is corrupted. When I try to re download it says the same thing. Ah yeah, Project Aon updated the html files yesterday, but the newer books aren't in Dave's repository so they are downloaded directly from the site. Meaning they are broken at the moment, but you say you had the book downloaded from before and it still crashed?

No I didn't try downloading until yesterday after I completed Book 20, so it would have been after it was broken I guess. So I assume I can't do anything myself and should just wait until they aren't broken?

Maps count towards the 12 special item limit in the New Order series. Was that an intentional change? They never counted in books 1-20.

I was going to prepare a release with the updated html files, but there ended up being way more broken things than I anticipated, and also, there is going to be another release soon (with my own recently submitted errata) and both times all players would have to redownload the New Order books, so long story short, I'm releasing a quick update now just to enable downloading the old html files.

Technically the maps shouldn't be items at all so it does makes sense that they don't count towards the limit. I just didn't care or notice in my own play-through since I always threw away the in-game maps, hah!

Also for the NO Special Items, some of them could be arguably tagged as not counting toward the limit of 12. Will be happy to give feedback on which items if this is OK. A stash function similar to the LW series would be great as well for the packrats among us.

Storage is never mentioned in the New Order series rules, which actually makes some sense beacuse for the first several books and also later on, you are not based at the monastery and so would have no access to your items. Of course I could enable it for those few books where you *are* based at the monastery, but yeah, "by the book" there is no storage.

By the book, the NO Grandmaster only gets back to the Kai Monastery after Book 23. It's a shame because Books 21 to 23 have some nice loot.

In addition to the maps, some of the NO Special Items (Books 21-24) that could be tagged as not counting toward the limit of 12 include: 1) Temujun's Ring (Book 21) 2) Leonghi's Scroll (Book 22) 3) Sadanzo's Scroll (Book 23) Also, I've encountered a potential bug with the By-the-Book award for dropping the Sommerswerd before Book 3 and completing the Magnakai series (namely, the award doesn't show up despite fulfilling the condition).

I wanted to report a bug I found as soon as I started playing. When I proceeded to create a profile in hardcore mode, I was not given the option of selecting the Healing Discipline. That was the only Discipline in which the button was grey. I played around with the options and the problem seems to be with the feature of limiting each of the first two series to five Disciplines. When I uncheck that option, it lets me select Healing just fine.

I have been a little bit lazy with documentation for new features in general, for Hardcore especially which is a little bit work-in-progress still. Not being able to select starting equipment is also a feature but that does have a tooltip explaining that it is so.

Not being able to select starting equipment is also a feature but that does have a tooltip explaining that it is so. Good to know that was intentional. The rationale must be because Healing is quite possibly the most powerful of all the Kai Disciplines with its ability to heal a point of damage for each page. I can see that it would be quite a handicap to try to win the game with that condition as well as all the others that are imposed by Hardcore.
If I can make a suggestion, I would recommend that you still allow people to select the Healing Discipline but take away the extra ability of healing each page for Hardcore difficulty. The reason is that there are quite a few times that Healing (as well as Curing, ect.) comes up in the gamebooks. Just having the Discipline will provide opportunities to obtain healing potions and other healing items. You will also be able to ward off poison and disease. I don't know how easy that would be to implement, but there's food for thought. Personally, I would rather you get Grey Star released first rather than overhaul the Lone Wolf system.
Thanks for the prompt response.

While there are many handicaps, they are offset by some of the special Hardcore-exclusive items that you may find. I could allow for picking Healing, but since it wouldn't be optimal to pick it still, and since it could cause even more confusion that way, without a pop-up or something, I won't do that.

About resolution... if you could put it on 1920x1080, it'd be great!
Thx
