In the rule Turns, change the text of the Adjust action to read as follows:
Take an Dice Face Action as per the rule Adjustments.
Change the first two paragraphs of the rule Dice to read as follows:
Each Island has a number of Terrain Dice (which may be referred to simply as Dice), which are held on the Great Sea page of the wiki. A Die takes the format of ‘Name: {1,2,3…}’ where the name is a single word of flavour text, and each item is an effect or outcome on the gamestate.
These Dice default to: Brown: {No effect,1 Land,1 Land,1 Land,2 Land}, Green: {No effect,1 Foliage,1 Foliage,1 Foliage,2 Foliage}, Red: {No effect,No effect,1 Animal Biomass,2 Animal Biomass}, and White {1 Mana,1 Mana,1 Mana,1 Mana,1 Mana,3 Mana}.
Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Mana:
Each Island has a quantity of Mana, which is a non-negative integer tracked on the Great Sea page of the wiki.
Add a subrule to the rule Dice, called Adjustments:
An Island taking the Adjust action must choose from the following Dice Face Actions and carry it out. An Island may carry out as many of these Actions as they would like, provided that they can pay the Mana cost:
* Spend 1 Mana: Increase or Decrease one Basic Effect on one of their Dice by 1.
* Spend 2 Mana: Add a Basic Effect that appears on any of their Dice to any of their Dice, or remove a single Basic Effect from any Dice.
* Spend 3 Mana: Remove a No effect result from one of their Dice.
* Spend 5 Mana: Start a new Dice with a name randomly selected from the names of chemical elements (re-roling results that give names that already exist for Dice for that Island)
* Spend 5 Mana: Create a Compound Effect, joining two existing Basic Effects on a single Dice into a single Effect.
* Spend 7 Mana: Destroy one of their own Dice.
Give each Island a red Dice and a white Dice.
Move the action “Seed” to be above “Make a post to the blog summarising their Turn” in the atomic action in the rule Turns, as its own top level action, rather than being part of either indented list.
the mana thing just isn’t my vibe.
Kevan: he/him
For “Start a new Dice”, does that die have any faces? It’s also maybe left a bit too implicit that this die is created in the ownership of the creator.
I don’t see why Seed should be a compulsory, when we’ve already had Jumble asking on Slack if there’s a way they can avoid performing it (to which the answer is usually going to be “yes”, if one of your stats matches Schwingrasen).
