CC how are you going to deal with languages?

[CapedCrusader]

They are just Skills. They'll be set up like Knowledge Skills are now. I am going to keep them on a separate table like they are now, and move them to the Skills page. That way we can track how many languages you are still entitled to like we do with Edges and Hindrances now, and like already we do with Languages now. We just need to track a Die Type with it.

Yep, the KS announcement today makes it pretty clear this is not the "finalized" version. Looks like they've been getting lots and lots of feedback so v2.1 is out today (due to a formatting glitch, apparently, with a few other things in there as well), a v3.0 will be out next week and the current plan is there will be a finalized version that goes to the printer in early January now instead of the end of December, after a bit of a break for the holidays. So presumably the "final" version will be, I guess, v4.0. Of course the still will make fixes on the pdf version after that if folks bring up things of note, but overall that's about par for the course for the way PEG has done other KS stuff before... well, except this one seems to be getting a LOT more feedback and checking than most of the settings files they've put out so it looks like a few extra iterations are being done on it.

I read through the change list, and it looks like it's all small tweaks.

Well, it is the core book, so just on that grounds its probably getting a lot more eyes than any individual setting book gets.

Any further word on this? I'm just trying to make sure that if I but the current Savage Worlds kit, I'll get the new one when available. Not trying to rush anyone. ��

I am working through enabling multiple arcane backgrounds. And to the best of my knowledge, the SWADE upgrade will be free.

[thateffendude]

Just checking in to see if the new SWADE update will be available anytime soon?

[CapedCrusader]

It's still in work. The multiple arcane backgrounds are proving interesting. I'll be able to give you a better idea once I have that worked out. On the plus side, we got the repository shift finally dealt with, and 5.7 will be out very soon.

Nice! I would also note that the finalized print version of SWADE only came out in PDF just last week (although it was mentioned that this one compared to the v4 draft was strictly typos to be fixed rather than anything affecting the rules). So in that sense the final version of SWADE was only JUST released.
