[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6328354, member: 1"] I have just uploaded [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1059"]N.E.W. Playtest Document [July 2014][/URL] to the downloads area. This is the latest playtest document for Kickstarter backers only. It uses large amounts of playtest feedback, and contains some major changes to the core math. This therefore begins a second phase of playtesting. Note that this new math has not been playtested yet - that's what we're doing here! The core math (difficulties, die pools) may need tweaking based on feedback, but ti should be far less "swingy" than previous versions. This update contains many changes including but not limited to: - new careers - psionic powers - changes to starship construction - starship combat advice and new electronic warfare rules - a new overall exploits system - new character sheets - pregenerated iconic characters - and more! Not everything from previous playtest reports has been addressed; some items can be left for a later document. In particular, the environments chapter has not had major updates, nor has the worldbuilding section of the book. The sample starships still use the old math, but I left them there just in case they were useful. You can find the file [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1059"]here in the downloads section[/URL]. Please use this thread for comments. [/QUOTE]
