Update 07/14/2024: Rulebook v0.14.1 and Planeswalker Sheet v5.11

Hello Everyone! This update was supposed to be for June, but due to events happening in my personal life, I had been too busy to work on them-- even now, there are some "trailing" changes that need to be made after this update drops, so please bear with it a little bit longer!

For this update onwards, I will be reducing the rate of Updates to the system (those that involve changing the Rulebook, Planeswalker Sheet, and the GM's Guide) to only be once a month. Meanwhile, Updates or changes to the Database (Items, Abilities, etc) are still free to be made as needed. This lets me accrue more changes to be made in one go, while also letting the previous update's changes run for a significant amount of time.

  • System
    • New Spell Type: Instant
      • Sorceries will now no longer be able to be Cast at any point, and Instants will take its place.
