Hello, everyone!

I’ve just published the Elegy 4e Beta Manual.

It introduces the core mechanics of the 4th Edition while the official rulebook is still in development, allowing players to play, test, and share feedback.

This release is a major improvement over the Playtest Kit I shared a few months ago. It includes, among other things:

• A standard action roll mechanics for all actions (no more Beats or Moves, though sample actions and specific rolls like “feeding” remain)
• Completely reworked rules for Edges, including freeform Aspects you write yourself to describe your character’s unique traits (somewhat inspired by Fate)
• The option to include werewolves, witches, and fae in your universe
• Ambience oracles

The PDF file contains all the rules, sheets and oracles you need to play, but I also made a file just for the sheets. The rules will mostly remain as presented, though minor updates and refinements may occur based on playtesting and community feedback.

The official 4th Edition rulebook will feature expanded flavor text, original artwork, story hooks, gameplay advice, and other extras. I don’t have any release dates planned yet.

If you’d like to follow the game’s development, share your gameplay experiences and chat with other players, feel free to join the Discord server!
