Full conversion to the MCDM Crows Playtest 2 packet. 123 commits since v0.1.3.

Content — every pack rebuilt from the Playtest 2 sources

All 11 compendium packs retranscribed against the pinned PT2 books and card decks — 517 documents: 276 traits, 71 monsters, 52 gear, 36 backgrounds, 27 spellbooks, 19 weapons, 16 consumables, 13 dungeon loot, 4 armour, 2 ammunition, and the rules journal.

boned is gone. PT2 replaced it with weakened and vulnerable, and Miasma's cruelty mechanic replaced the old boned track. The one place it survives is a source note on Soothing Candy, whose card MCDM did not update — see docs/MCDM-FEEDBACK.md.

Combat and initiative

Side-based initiative (R:706). Crows has no per-creature initiative: one 1d10 at the start of each round decides which whole side acts first, re-rolled every round, with order within a side chosen rather than rolled. Previously the system set no initiative formula at all, so rolling initiative threw an error.

  • A two-sided combat tracker replacing the stock one, with a per-round side roll and up/down reordering within a side
  • Surprised (R:704) — skipped in round 1, attacks against them gain +1, expires automatically
  • Stale rolls are shown as "not yet rolled" rather than silently reusing the previous round's order

The character sheet

Cards are the core of Crows, and the sheet could barely manipulate them. Now:

  • Cards are draggable — they were not, at all
  • Remove a card, add one to an empty slot without dragging
  • Dropping onto an occupied slot swaps the two cards instead of refusing
  • Valid, invalid and swappable drop targets are highlighted while dragging
  • Attacking is discoverable: every weapon shows the button, and when it is not in a hand slot it explains which slot it needs (R:392 — only a wielded weapon can attack, so belt weapons no longer offer a free attack)
  • Attacking with nothing targeted prompts for a target instead of rolling silently

Also

Player-facing pet taming and commands; character creation spawns and bonds a background's starting pet; background equipment resolves instead of stubbing; the Noble's bonus gold is applied; the rules journal now agrees with the runtime on all 55 backlash rows and 7 Miasma rows.

Verification

  • 1048 tests, verify.sh --strict clean
  • Gate D: this exact archive was installed into an isolated clean world on Foundry 14.367 — all 11 packs opened, zero errors across 1239 log lines — and every pack was unpacked back out of the archive and compared to source by _id: 517/517, identical document set

Install
