Hi all,

I hope you enjoyed the free one-shot dungeon, The Crypt of the Greythorne, but the work on Hack n Slash is still going on.

Problem
During the last game i noticed that the layout could be improved.
A the moment the layout of the "rules side" is fractioned to be read in 3 different phases.

1. The cover (and the spells) - when closed HnS fits a pocket easily and show a grim cover with the logo on the front and the minimal d20 grimoire on the back
2. The PC creation process - Unfolding one time the sheet you reach the 2 "sections" that explain how to create your character
3. The Rules - Unfolding the sheet a second time you will find all you need to play HnS

The problem is that , once completely unfolded, the rules side is a total mess. Some section are turned 180° to be readable during the unfolding steps but the result is that informations are split on different "step" (or that you have to turn upside down the sheet very often).

Solution
The solution is pretty simple.
I have flipped and rearranged some of the sections in order to make the whole "rules side" readable once opened. The "bad" is that there are no reading step while unfolding the sheet, you have to unfold it completely from the start. Probably is not that much of a backfire, in fact, it could be better now but i'm curious to hear your opinions.
That's not all, folks.
To match the horizontal orientation of the "rules side" i have rearranged the player sheet too. Now the A4 sheet has a wide orientation but (if you prefer) you can fold it in half to have a vertical A5 with main informations on the front and all the rest on the back.

Minor changes
I did some (not so) minor changes in the rules:

• Shield are now more simple to use. If the wielder choose to ignore an attack, then the shield breaks, period.
• Removed the optional Easy Mode that add +6 STA 'cause i'm planning to release a sort of Master Guide with all these modular rules.
• All dice in spells texts are replaced with fixed values. The Success Levels will be the only variable values (a reworking of all the spells is in progress)
  

That's the end for now. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think of the "BETA layout".
