Does shifting into full wolf form (Using the Wolf Form talent) require a Hard Discipline check - like Werewolf Shapeshift does?

Yes, Wolf Form is a modification of the Shapeshange ability of the Werewolf talent.

Do you have Fantasy Grounds mods for Something Strange?

Have you considered releasing fantasy versions of your Vampire and Werewolf talents as a standalone cheap product? I realize Fae would probably have to change a lot, or may already be covered by other parts of a given Fantasy setting, but vampire and werewolf could probably entice a lot of people who may not vibe with modern settings :)

Check out Inquisition by Guilluame Tardif. With permission, he applied my supernatural talent structures to his dark fantasy setting.

The talent Magical Discipline says you can choose any effect, and it's free... Did you mean to put only effects that increase the difficulty by one, or is this intentional? Adding Empowered, Grand Summon, or even Ressurection for free for example?

Love the setting btw; just played a one-shot. I'll be tweaking and mixing it with noir for a 1920 Cthulhu-esque mystery in New York.

That talent is not restricted by the effect difficulty.

Thanks for the answer! It's definitely a powerful talent. One of my players is using it with Doom :O

BTW: How would you change the Fae technology aversion if I were to place this into an earlier time period (1920)?

Quick question: How much of the content can be used to cover earlier-than-21st-century stories? Could it easily stretch back to the mid-20th century, or even earlier, to the 19th century? Thanks!

Yeah, everything should work just fine. You'd probably have to just rename some gear items to their era equivalent and keep the stats.

Is there a changelog explaining what the latest updates add or change?

oof. No. I'm not that organized. Usually when I put out a new version I'll announce on the Genesys Facebook group and Discord server and I'll say what changed.

I receive an error that reads, "Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server," when I click the link for the full-size preview.

Not sure what that could be. Full size preview seems to be working for me. If you have further trouble DTRPG support might be able to help.

I'm actually experiencing the same issue. I'm on mobile browser in desktop mode and i get file not found with this listing. I've tried a couple others and full size preview worked fine but not this one.
Not sure why it's intermittent like that and working for you but not myself or matt.

I see it not working now for me also. Seems to happen when I update the PDF. Not sure what I can do to prevent it or even fix. I think the preview eventually just gets recreated but I don't know how long that takes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
