I don’t like locking movement behind the heartbeat, it’s unnecessarily slow especially when we’re going to have stuff like shops and the vault all in different locations

You might want to swap out Entity for Demiurge in the Home Sweet Home references, because the cfj has changed them now.

As for the change itself, I was actually considering dropping the daily action portion of the Journeying action since it’s already constrained by Provisions, and turning the foraging of food in the shops and forest into the beat action. This way still works though.

I also don’t like consolidating everything into Beats

beats should be for stuff like attacking imo, not for when you’re moving around

Beats will often be faster than daily actions, because you can save them up and use several at once. Otherwise it’s four Beats per week versus seven Daily Actions per week, where you won’t be using a Daily Action every single day anyway.

[SingularByte] Thanks for the Entity pointer. And fair enough, I missed that Provisions were proposing to constrain movement.

I agree with lendun that we should be selective about what goes into Beats and what doesn’t. I’d support making Journeying a free action with no time restrictions; you’re already having it cost Provisions so it’s not like it’s readily spammable.

I do like the double Beats though.

don’t really like this but if the players want it, sure

and I just edit locked it before properly reading josh’s comments

rip, at least we can make movements a free action in a later proposal

The idea of making beats tie into things is nice, but I do feel that it makes travelling way too painful. Also, transferring provisions shouldn’t really cost a whole beat since it’s fairly unpleasant to do already - unless you’re already around, you likely have to go to a player, give up the provision(s), then travel again which costs you more than half your provisions.

Seconding SingularByte’s objection; Beats seem like a nice mechanic but I’m worried about making everything rely on the same (very limited!) resource.

Whoops, forgot the 4 hours hadn’t passed yet.

It’s fine, lendunistus already voted so it’s already locked to edits.

Since there’s now a later-resolving referendum on the most controversial parts of this.

Withdrawn to keep things moving.
