BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

[ A boring old tidying-up proposal; I don’t mind enacting this one when it comes around. It’s just putting some rules in better places, making ‘killed by werewolves’ easier to reference, and tidying up the slapdash usage of the word ‘target’ (which allows for some weird unintentional effects, like ghost doctors still being able to save people). ]

Move the second, third and fourth paragraphs of “Life in Zahndorf” into a new rule, placed after “Life in Zahndorf” and called “Town Meetings”.

Change the “Occupations” subrule into a rule by itself, with the same name and subrules.

Rename “Gaol” to “The Prisoner”, and copy the text of “Werewolf Prisoners” rule into it. Delete “Werewolf Prisoners”.

Rename “Alchemical Studies” to “The Alchemist”, “Doctor” to “The Doctor” and “Beer Seller” to “The Beer Seller”.

Move “Silver and Gun Occupations” to a subrule of “Occupations”.

Add a new subrule of “Occupations” called “The Swordsmith”, and give it the first paragraph of “Swords”.

Delete the first paragraph of the rule “Swords”.

Create a new subrule of “Occupations” called “The Apothecary”, and move the second paragraph of the “Poison” rule into it.

Move the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs of “Werewolves” (or third through seventh, if “Time to up the ante?” passed) into a new subrule of “Werewolves”, called “Werewolf Attacks”. In that new rule, replace “That Villager is now Dead.” with:-

That Villager is now Dead, and has been Savaged by Wolves.

In the rule “The Night Watchman”, replace “killed by Werewolves as a result of the Rule called “Werewolves”” with “savaged by wolves”.

In the rule “Acuity Points”, replace “killed under the Rule called “Werewolves”” with “savaged by wolves”.

In the rule “Ghosts”, replace “killed as a result of the Rule called “Werewolves”” with “savaged by wolves”.

Replace “the target continues as normal” with “the attack continues as normal” in both “Military Occupations” and “Swords”.

In the Rule “The Doctor”, replace “target” with “patient” (except for “may not target the same villager”, which should become “may not have the same villager as their patient”).

In the Rule “Poison” and all of its subrules, replace “target group” with “susceptible group”, and “each type targets a different group of Villagers” with “certain groups of Villagers are susceptible to each type”.

In the Rule “Ghost”, replace “target” with “focus”.
