Hiya everyone and Happy New Year!

Over the break, my wife and I binged Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. By the way, you should all try to SAVE LOWER DECKS on Social Media and other venues! Anyway, I wanted to play a BW and Offworlders-type Star Trek game with my friends and I found this little beauty called Strange New Worlds by Dave Chalker. In his game, Chalker adds a cool personality dynamic to each class and I thought it'd be cool to add that to BW so I've made the Virtues, Vices, & Quirks Expansion. This expansion rewards roleplaying and making character-driven decisions with XP. It is not needed to play the base game, but I'd say that it may enhance the experience for many. You can download the new page of rules and a tweaked Character Sheet that includes space for Virtues, Vices, and Quirks on this page!

In addition to the expansions and Star Trek binges, I also had the chance to playtest BW some more and made a few changes that change the game a bit.
- The Skills are changed around quite a bit- some have been added (like Skullduggery and World Knowledge) and some have been taken out. After playing, I noticed some skills got far more use out of them than others so I tried to update them so that they could all have more potential.

- I updated the Character Sheet. While the content hasn't radically changed, this is more of a quality-of-life improvement. Content that is more likely to be referenced consistently is towards the top while content that is more specialized is organized at the bottom. I hope you like it.

- I changed a Conjurer Ability in order to help balance out the Calling.

- Changed Agility to Dexterity. This one's personal. When I GM'd, I ALWAYS said Dexterity instead of Agility. It's a word that is used so much amongst the TTRPG community that I decided to just conform because even I couldn't escape saying Dexterity. Plus, Dexterity is a good word.

All the tweaks also made me have to correct the wording in several sections but most won't notice it. But, because there are so many changes, I have decided to say that this is the v. 2.0 update.

If you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them on the Typos and Comments form! Or join in on the conversation on our Discord!

For more from me, check out the TTRPG podcast, Minions & Misfits, at https://minionsandmisfits.podbean.com or wherever you get your podcasts. We're about to start our 5th Season which will feature Offworlders (and probably my new Virtues, Vices, and Quirks ruleset)!
