So... the beta is finished!

I have some big news, folks! 

The first beta was finished a few days ago, and I've sent it out to some within my developer circle to see what they think.  So, while I wait for feedback, I'm going to reevaluate the quickstart and adjust it to shoehorn the new features into the game.  So, when I make my next dev log entry, this new quickstart will be live.

So what to expect with the new quickstart?  On the campaign end, now RōNIN will be more of a sandbox-style RPG, as it should have been from the start.  So, I'll release a partial map of Hawthorne along with the quickstart; you can also use the Northlandia map if you'd like.

Lastly, I'll include the new hacking mechanics in the new quickstart so you can try your hand at grid-running.  However, I will limit features with that aspect because I want to save them for the full release of the game.

I'll update you all once the newest quickstart is released.   By then, work will begin on the second beta draft of the handbook, which will be available to backers once the RōNIN Kickstarter launches.

Until next time, fortune-seekers!  Beware of the press pack!
