Policy Update for Murders at Karlov Manor
There’s a new update to the MTR and IPG, but I’m not going to go into it, since the only policy change is to note that Disguise and Morph are basically the same thing as far as policy is concerned. This should not be surprising. I’m trying to get another tweak in to make it […]

Policy Changes for Core 2020
[cets_callout_box style=’yellow’ align=’right’ title=’The New Docs’]IPG | MTR [/cets_callout_box] Evil schemes. Blue-coated figures. Carnage in the streets. Sacrifices being made to save the day.
