Livre d' Ivon ~ Not Changing It
Published on 11 December 2012 - 07:24:33

Folks,

     Okay, I'm almost through the 43 pages and I've found much of it containing duplicated information (which is fine) or a number of FAQs which seem rather straightforward, logical, and well…quite frankly, unnecessary.  Anyway, here's another one, I'm not willing to change…

Livre d’Ivon (Unique Item) should say "Exhaust and spend" instead of "Discard and spend."

     As a Unique Item that you don't have to discard…meh ~ but, because it's one of Daisy's Starting Equipment and because she's so damn overpowered to begin with and because the "Fail" criteria is based on her holding onto a Tome…no, no, no…this will remain a Make a Lore check and if successful, Discard Livre d'Ivon.

I think that's what the FAQ means anyway. The item card says "discard" twice in its text (iirc); now the FAQ has corrected it so that you only discard if you pass the check. I guess the first instance of the word 'discard' was (and always has been) a typo.

I certainly hope so ~ thanks, my friend!

The format of a Tome should be:

Exhaust to attempt to read. If you succeed, discard and get the penalty. Otherwise nothing happens.

That was supposed to be Livre's format, and that's what the FAQ is trying to say.

"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

Hi,

Do you chose to write text in blue, or is that another forum bug? It is absolutely unreadable on the dark background :)

Hi, Zeb ~ no, it's not my choice…it's copied and pasted right from the FAQ.

If you paste the text into notepad (assuming you're using Windows) and then copy the text you pasted into notepad, all text formatting from the original source will be removed. That's a nice trick if you want to quickly remove colors, headlines, italics, etc. =)

Thank you, sir!   I was moving far too quickly yesterday, so I was sacrificing readability for speed…something I tell my linguists never to do.  I should heed my own words.
