Hi guys,
What happenned to the supplement? I only found out about it today! We are starting our first game this week, so its not essential but it would ne nice 
is there a working link?
Thanks
Itās being revised as Wanderers, Outcasts & Exiles. 14 playable classes, 7 new stocks. Levels 1-10. Text is done, waiting on artwork.
Thanks for getting back to me Jared. 14 Classes and 7 stocks sounds great.
Hopefully it wont take long. Im sure my players will go through a few characters!
Itād be great to have an idea of time scaleā¦ I appreciate this is not an exact science and Iāve been working on my patience waiting for the Hackmaster 5th GMG!
Iām with you on that, Crusoe. Iāve been (patiently) nagging Jared on this for quite some time now. I have an Assassin character that will hit 5th level in the next town session, so Iām looking L6 in the face. Jared has been understanding, even going so far as to strongly hinting at what is to come. Canāt wait for actual supplement, though.
Itās hard to have a time scale when youāre waiting on someone else. Youāre right in the sense that having an estimated waiting time makes people happier with their wait, but youād be a lot less happy if Jared pulled a time estimate out of his butt and then missed it thanks to the artist. Just let it happen when it happens. 
That is a completely logical and intelligent responce, well thought out and skillfully presented. That being said, I want my high-level Assassin abilities, damnit! 
Aaaaaaaand itās done.
Thank you for all the hard work and your patience with my impatience, Mr. Sorensen. Canāt wait to read it.
now the other question on everyoneās mind. Where do I throw my money at you to get the files?
Yāall suck at the Internet.

Fantastic! Thanks!
as soon as I finished posted that reply I ended up doing a simple search and found it right off of the bat. I am sorry that I wasted so much time.
The document looks great and I will have to see if my players are ready to try something different now.
Ok, Mr. Sorensen. I love the new book, but I have a lot of questions. So, here goes:
Human Assassin:
Throwing Blades and Stilettos (btw, I think thatās spelled wrong in the book) are not mentioned under the L1 class description. Is it assumed that Assassins are proficient with their use?
If my Assassin takes Deadly Tricks at L6, does that mean she can never invoke prayers? Or can she take Shadow Initiate at L7 (or later)?
Human Barbarian:
Other than role playing reasons, why would anyone take the L10 Rage ability over That Which Does Not Kill Me? Both give you a permanent +1 to Might, but with Rage you lose your ability to use Wises (while technically immune to the full effect of Angry) but with TWDNKM, you gain another +1 to Might when Injured. Seems imbalanced to me, as I understand it.
Human Monk:
A Boxer takes no penalty when fighting unarmed. But a Drunken Boxer takes the normal penalty for fighting unarmed, but gains a +1D to Feint and Defend actions. Does the penalty counteract the bonus? (-1D for fighting unarmed, +1D class option) Or do they get the bonus instead of the penalty? (-1D to Attack and Maneuver, +1D to Feint and Defend) If not, a Drunken Boxer is just a less effective Boxer. (Its a similar question for the Wrestler, but he gets a +2D, so even if they stack, he gets a bonus.)
I like how you get the Enlightened trait. Thatās cool.
Human Strider:
No questions here, but Feign Death, Snapshot and Riposte are all pretty cool.
Minotaur Pitfighter:
With Undying Devotion, do you pick one permanent character to be devoted to? Or do you pick one for each Kill conflict? Do you die at the end of the conflict even if you donāt reach 0 hit points?
Assassin: they should be listed in their weapons. An assassin must choose Deadly Tricks or the ability to use prayers.
Barbarian: Being able to use traits while Angry permanently seems pretty good to me. And if youāre walking around injured all the time to gain the Might benefit you can be killed even in non-Kill conflicts. I would choose Rage over the other benefit every time, but thatās just me.
Monk: Fighting unarmed is an obstacle, so when they Feint or Defend itās at +1D but the obstacle increases by 1. Drunken Boxing starts out a liability but gives you more dice to roll, so more opportunities for rolling 6ās, using Fate or Wises, etc. And when paired with some of the higher level abilities, it becomes cool.
Minotaur: Pledge to defend a character for that fight. Roleplaying-wise youād probably stick with one character that means a lot to you but you can change it for the duration of the fight if you want (youāre that personās bodyguard). If you donāt havenāt reached 0 hit points then the fight has yet to end, right?
Thanks for the quick response. All that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. One follow up, though. On the Minotaurās UD, it says āUnless you win the conflict without compromise, you become Dead at the end of the fight.ā So, if we win with a compromise, the minotaur may not have reached 0 hit points. If he never reached 0 hit points, does he still become Dead at the end of the conflict?
Right right, itās a little confusing. Time for the inevitable errata document!
Your minotaur dies if you pledged Undying Devotion to a comrade and you suffer a compromise. Youāre the compromise.
Ok, that is how it reads. Brutal, but thanks for the clarification. Love the book, btw. Lots of cool and innovative ideas.
A few more questions:
Are the game mechanics for preparing prayers the same for assassins as they are for clerics? I understand it is a simple process of washing their hands with water, but do they make a Theologian (or Ritualist?) test to prepare them?
Shadow Intiate says āYou may invoke a first circle prayer from you class prayer list.ā Then, under Assassin Prayers, it says they āgain access to specific prayers at level 6.ā Does this mean, when they prepare during town and camp phases, that they can pick from the list based on their upcoming needs, like a cleric? Or does it mean, when they pick the class abilities at L6, 7 and/or 8, they pick a prayer from the list and that is the only prayer they have access to from that level. (Access to three prayers maximum.)
Lastly, can assassins scribe scrolls?
