More Playtest Changes in Update 0.1.2


Some more redesign coming out of playtest feedback — this update makes some changes to the character bonds subsystem and the teamwork maneuvers. 

Another fragment adventure pamphlet has been added to the downloads as well!

Layout work is moving slower than expected, though a summer slowdown was bound to happen. Will have a better idea of progress and timelines once fall puts schedules back into a reliable order once again.
