As I already shared on the BDP Discord, some news about the development of Block, Dodge Parry going forward!

Version 1.31 is in the works. This will contain several new rules and systems, and a further expansion of the Complex Tasks introduced in 1.3.

With that release, I'll also release the Block, Dodge, Parry Systems Reference Document (SRD). This will contain all the rules contained in the 'store' version, all the Skills, and 6 of the Careers of the full version, as the Careers can be seen as an 'interpretation' of the base rules, and a categorization of the Skills. The SRD will otherwise be 'stripped down' a bit, focusing purely on the rules, and none of the accompanying context and examples. Most importantly (and perhaps obviously, since it's an SRD), it will be freely available to everyone. It will also be updated with every new release.

With that, I will increase the price of Block, Dodge, Parry to $10. That is not to squeeze out more money or get rich quick - I mean, I'm giving away the core rules - but more to reflect the value I think BDP has reached, and to make purchasing it more a statement of "I support the continued development".

So! If you've been on the fence about getting BDP, you can get it now for $5, or wait for the SRD. I expect that to launch somewhere next week.

I have more than a few ideas for version 1.4, so more on that later!
