Minor Updates
I made some minor updates, but they impact gameplay in a way I want to highlight.
Starting Professions changes from 5 with 5 points to 3 with 3 points, and Starting Personality changes from 5 and 10 points to three and three points. In playing more, including running the forthcoming "Whispers from the Deep" adventure, players felt that they simply had too many points and weren't making interesting choices with their characters. Everyone had at least one three-point Profession and Personality trait that they tended to rely on. Reducing these to 3 and 3 helps push players to make more interesting decisions and drive the value of Dark Traits.
I've also clarified that Mythos Events are only encountered upon entering uncharted waters for the first time.
Since I mentioned it above, here is a little teaser for the "Whispers from the Deep" adventure:
You are the crew of a weathered fishing vessel
venturing into the mist-laden waters of the
New England coast in search of more than just fish.
As you dive into forgotten lore and confront realities
that defy comprehension, you'll face truths that
blur the line between myth and reality.
The journey ahead will test your courage, challenge
your beliefs, and reveal the horrors beneath
are far more terrifying than the legends warned you.
