The First Errata is Released
Interactions between characters is a key part of what makes this game so incredible. How different scripts feel with the selection of characters in play. Sometimes however, interactions are discovered that break the game, so Jinxes are added to smooth these out. As with many things, sometimes the Jinxes miss the mark, the most egregious…
