List of Lores

None of the lores under "Creature" are cultures. You may only gleam some information about the culture of the creature you have the lore for at marshal discretion. Those are the only lores available from Commoner.

Okay, I'm sorry, would you mind taking just one more look, Matt?

Culture lores no longer exist

Since the new update is going to also include the option to buy a printed book, will trademarked materials like beholders and displacer beasts be removed? I don't want to see KR get a C&D letter, however politely phrased. It would mean, at the very least, removing them in an emergency edition in order to not get sued.

As for lores of your region: Matt, you phrased it as:

Matt D wrote: So as it is written right now, you cannot learn Culture lores without being a Scholar or have an approved history that indicates growing up int hat region.

I had thought it was a character's birth region/race. So does this mean that, if the approved backstory mentions spending a significant time in two places, a character could get the Lore for both regions? Or must they only have one for free?

Example: Bob grew up in Londwyn, but when he was 20 he moved to Coast Haven and has spent the last decade there.

Option 1: Bob spent his formative years in Londwyn, and therefore has Lore: Londwyn. Bob also spent the last decade in Coast Haven, and therefore has Lore: Coast Haven.

Option 2: Bob spent his formative years in Londwyn, and therefore has Lore: Londwyn. However, he will always be a foreigner in Coast Haven, and does not get that Lore for free.

Option 3: Bob spent his formative years in Londwyn, but the last decade is more immediate. He may choose to have the Lore of either region, depending on what he feels is best for his character.

One potential negative for either 1 or 3 is that, logically, any character who has spent enough time in Travance gets Lore: Travance. Because of that, I had thought 2 was the standard, but just thought I'd clarify. (It matters for my character, if the backstory gets approved.)

At this time the new rulebook is still in the works, but the concern has been noted.

As to starting lores, option 2 is what would occur.

Is Voodoo an accepted lore?

Thanks!
