A player briefing, and the historical range
The generator was already writing the timeline, the cast and the texture and filing all of it behind the GM screen. New PLAYERS page: a read-aloud opening, what it is like there, what is known so far, who is there and what they want — but never what they lie about. Page ownership is now declared by the page rather than guessed from its index, which would have hidden any second player page. Historical range: 38 weapons (from 6) and 14 armours (from 2), each with its period stated, from arming swords and longbows through matchlocks and Brown Bess to the Lee-Enfield and a trench club. Five new skills to hang them on, including Firearm (Muzzle-loader), because a muzzle-loader is not a rifle. 275 icons; every weapon maps to a real skill and every item has art. Catalogue is 206 items across four eras. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
