So I might be sidelining with some Rhapsody of Blood soon. I’m pretty tickled by it, but there’s some elements that I’m not sure I completely understand, and I’d like some help putting it all together. 🙂

1) I’m a little uncertain as it seems like there’s wording that implies both, but is the intent that usually, the explorers are traveling together? That’s what I’d assume given, for example, the shared Travelling the Labyrinth pool, but I’m not quite sure how to reconcile this with every bloodline having their own Breach, for example.

2) Page 16 indicates that the castle rewards the breaking of a covenant more the stronger the bond, but it seems like the reward is always a flat 1 contamination for 1 covenant. Is this correct?

3) A couple of places, such as the Reinforcements bloodline move, make reference to steps of the regent’s plans manifesting on certain clock ticks. I was unable to find anything explicitly explaining this; any thoughts as to what the intent here is?

4) Removed; was a question about the length of the regent’s clock, and I was getting confused by the intended length. The 12-point aesthetic had me overlooking the fact that it was an obvious 6-point clock. 🙂

5) All of the example castles seem to contain five wards, one of which being the regent’s. Is it generally expected that’s always to be the case? Are the nature and title of the wards known in advance to players?

Belatedly: What’s the best way to get in touch with UFO Press about getting the alternate setting PDFs from the Kickstarter? I’d verified that I had them on my pledge manager, but I can’t find any e-mails from DriveThruRPG.

Minor editor nitpick, in case there’s ever any patches applied to the core PDF: the right margin header for the Stranded Starfarers playbook reads “Teh Stranded Starfarers”. 🙂

I’ve got a simple, really dumb rules question: With respect to quick characters, you’re told to choose two moves; one from the family inheritance list, and one from a list that is chunked out by role. The wording and formatting makes it slightly ambiguous to me, though, if one is choosing one role and getting two moves, or selecting a role and choosing one move from its accompanying list.

Which is it?

Are there currently any guesstimates of when Engine of Life and End Game might be having their text drop?

I just moved and have been trying to get a new gaming group together to try out Legacy 2E soon, but the teases of stuff to come (particularly the cool new Families) has made me apprehensive to do so until that content is available. I’m thinking I might try running one of the mostly-finished alternate settings for the time being instead, but I’d ideally like to know for how long I’d need to plan that for. 🙂
