Wrecked Man's Promise


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


So, when Man's Promise is wrecked, the text states:

Man's Promise wrote:
When commanding this ship: Other characters may not move with this ship.

The rulebook says (page 18):

Rulebook wrote:
If you move while commanding a [wrecked] ship, other characters cannot choose to move with you.

So am I missing something, or does the Man's Promise not change anything when it's wrecked? Technically speaking there aren't any rules contradictions here, but it's weird that its "when wrecked" text states something that's already a rule.


I believe one of the designers said something like, "Yeah, we know it's repetitive. We had to put something in that box, though, or people would complain that there's nothing in the box."

yeah, this threw me as soon as they released the rule book

but don't read Vic's response though, as the plan sounds like it has changed...

That's exactly the comment from Vic I was thinking of.

Yup... quoting UHF on a message board for a card game based on a role playing game. Not sure what that says about me...

Removed my previous comment. With Vic out of town, we're not sure what the details are here, and will get back to you when we know. For now, play it as is.


I know what is not in the box ;)

By the way, the quote was made by this guy: http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2008/mar/in_character/donger_1.htm l
