A little over 2 months since the last update, Gio emerges from the bottomless pit of school papers to deliver more Footfall unto the world! We have a little bit of new content and a whole slew of changes for you today, among them being a new weapon, new ways to play the game, and a new look for the core rulebook!

New Content:

• Added the Wrist Blade, an ammunition based Melee Implement with stealth at the forefront of its design.
• Added the Blade ammunition type. This includes:
  • The Catch Blade, for your climbing and pilfering needs.
  • The Eagle's Blade, for enhancing attacks made from the shadows.
  • The Picking Blade, for extra security when picking a lock.
  • The Shock Blade, for maintaining advantage over your foes.
  • The Tonic Blade, for delivering tonics unseen.
• Added Appendix B, which contains possible alternative rulesets. The rulesets included are:
  • Steel, which makes the game easier and more action focused.
  • Shadow, which makes the game harder and more stealth focused.
  • Arkane, which brings the game even closer to emulating its key inspiration.
  • Grog, which simplifies and lethalizes the game to bring it in line with OSR philosophies of play.

Fixes and Changes:

• A visual overhaul as well as formatting fixes to the main book and the Enemy Creation guide.
• Complete visual overhaul and major reformatting of character sheets. Form fillable sheets received utility overhaul.
• Wording fixes for the Break Point and Weak Point enemy Boons in the Enemy Creation Guide (included in the Watchman Documents).
• Additional clarification to the definition of an "Area" in Game Terminology.
• The Black Luck may now be used to reroll any die roll.
• The Academic background now also receives either 1 Human Blood Token or 1 Powder Lamp + 4 Vials of Straun Powder.
• The Blackjack's listed price in the table now matches its statblock.
• The Gift of Passage power Prepared Recall now includes: "This power removes a point of Notice, you may choose whether this happens when it is cast or at the end of your turn."
• The Gift of Mirrors power Self Reflection now includes: "The Reflection can take any action that you can and has your Skill scores, but does not have your powers or Notice. Effects applied to you apply to the Reflection, but effects applied to the Reflection do not apply to you. The Reflection does not benefit from your SP and can only take 3 damage before being destroyed."
• The Gift of Mirrors power Affirming Image now reads: "Faith in oneself and one’s self, a hauberk of will. You may spend an Action Point to generate a Reflection around yourself or a creature within 5 Strides. The target removes 1 Damage at the beginning and end of their turn during an Encounter. If the target is hit with an attack while shrouded by the Reflection, the Reflection shatters, this effect ends, and the target takes no damage. Your maximum active Reflections increases by 1."
• Minor wording fix to all concentration powers ("You may end this effect at any time" text now always appears after "Entropy generated by this power cannot be cleared until the effect ends" text).
• All Tonic effects (except for Blue Eye) scale off of Tinker in some form or fashion (usually duration).
• The Leviathan tonic now includes: "The words 'A' and 'An' imply '1' and are therefore quantifiable."
• Ritual of Recursion now reads: "Tinker score number of target creatures may communicate telepathically with each other across any distance for 1 hour or 2 target creatures may telepathically communicate with each other across any distance for Tinker score number of hours."
• The Haghorse Run Mission module has been removed from the Watchman documents in preparation for major updates and a standalone release.
