News From the Developers of the Force and Destiny Beta

Hello Force and Destiny™ beta testers,

We’re excited to present the first week of beta updates (pdf, 237 KB) for Force and Destiny! Since a good number of people are still procuring copies of the beta at this point, this first round of early updates focuses on some minor rules changes and simple corrections.

We’ve clarified the wording of Improved Parry and Reflect, and we reintroduced lightsabers’ immunity to the Sunder quality. However, we have also introduced an option for those of you who want to be able to destroy an opponent’s lightsaber.

As more of you are able to get into playtesting in earnest, we’d like to direct the coming week’s playtesting to two aspects of the game: new species and the Morality mechanic. The six new species in Force and Destiny are intended to mesh well with the core experiences of the game, but also be used by anyone playing Edge of the Empire™ or Age of Rebellion™. Meanwhile, our intention for Morality is to provide an interesting and evocative way to track a character’s tendencies towards good or evil. Over the coming week, we want you to let us know what you think of these elements.

Thanks for all your hard work!
