Legacy Changelog 2 - 2025

As a side update: I've been debating whether to push back the release by a month, given how much has been worked on/reworked. Ultimately, I've decided to do so, keeping the Changelog Sandbox as up to date as possible as I move between programs and phases before releasing anything. Been trying to keep things more organized. Or, as organized as they can be with everything that has been happening. To this end, full notes will be released with a bit more polish than usual. Sidenote: It's not AI, just avid use of a spell checker. |> September 2025 - Dec 2025[/spoiler]

Ancestries and Heritages

Added Dwarven Feats, or equivalent, from 2e (Player Core 2)
Added remaining Human Feats from 2e (or added new ones, as per usual).
Finished Adding the Dragonblooded Feats (for Dragonfolk and those with the Draconic Legacy Heritage)

Due to the lateness of and scope of the changes, everything is being rolled over into 2026. > June 2025 - August, 2025

[spoiler] June 8th / 0.005.0
After a couple of huge shake-ups irl, some things are changing.
First of all, I was commissioned to make another TTRPG system, and ended up making 2 (One, a proof of concept, and the other its own game), both of which do not and cannot use the ORC License or anything similar. To that end, this game has been sitting on the back burner while I reorient my priorities and come back to this with fresher eyes and a better on some things. After such, as many may expect, I realized the core of CHASE kinda ran away from me. In the time it took me apply a couple of concepts and make two games, it would've taken much more bloat and complexity to do the same in CHASE due to 'the crunch' of it all. Much as I and many love other systems for such and more (and as fair and nice as Paizo has been in granting use of their system and other aspects of their game(s)), I've come to realize I made one of the biggest mistakes in gaming that I should've known. Incoming Waffle: If someone wants to do X thing, they'll go to X thing for it. Making a copy of such, no matter how 'better/more streamlined' it is, will only remind others of the other thing. Good if you're going for that, bad if you're trying to stand apart from it. One has always to find a middle ground, not just for bean-counting, but for identity. To put it another way, There is no such thing as a Perfect Sauce for everyone, only Perfect Sauce(s). Oddly enough, I learned this lesson without knowing about the Howard Moskowitz study. When I worked in the (video) gaming industry, it was MMORPGs, not Tomato Sauces. I was consulted on many, many projects on being 'the next big thing' for several years based purely on my expertise in playing many MMOs beyond what was known to 'work' at the time (Popular ones like WoW and Everquest to lesser known or non-Western ones like Asheron's Call, Dark Ages). Granted, I had connections in the industry already for other reasons, and at the time I was leaving (not finishing) the college I attended for Game Design, and being scooped up after that isn't too uncommon. As a consultant, I've told scores of people what to do and not to do when trying to find the mark for their game, with much of it being ignored for one reason or another (mostly, money), while others who followed the advice succeeded, while their games are still running or ran their course. All told, take all this with a grain of salt, but my 'silver bullet' advice always boiled down to "Know what you have, be the best you", and in my pursuit to make a good, all encompassing system, I forgot...it does not need to do all that. To that end, I think I'll try adjusting the game to be what it was meant to be, for me. A less crunchy version of Pathfinder 2e, a more in-depth version of Dungeons and Dragons 5e. A system that can do tactical combat and social encounters pretty well, like D&D 4e and with a less harsh numerical focus; where you can turn a class or character into an anamoly that 'just works' once you know the system, and all the systems you thought you discovered were already there, waiting to be used and further explored. All for free, because why not? Second, I kinda forgot how fun it was to enjoy these games for a while. Burnout was very real, and the step away gave me perspective to just...take things slow. Focus on getting a minimum viable product, rather than a playable one. I can technically have both, you know? Got back into my hobbies, etc. Finally, I got a new job, and my computer was broken for a while. Not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. A healthy change is a good thing, and hopefully, this will be better as we go. August 31st / 0.005.1
I got swamped with crap. throughout the last few weeks, namely, picking up another job. But I've been able to do a couple of things, and get the ball rolling on others. More than anything, I want to update this more consistently again. Game Changes and Additions
