Update Status Effects for May
Norvendae status effects, updated for May. These are no longer intended for use in games other than the Norvendae roleplaying game, though I imagine you could easily adapt them for use in other game systems. I know I certainly will at some point.
Anyway, reading through the list, you may get a clearer picture of the system just by reading the status effects. I mean, or not. I guess it depends on how nitty-gritty, into-the-depths you get with your game system analysis. The great big revelation I had recently was actually how dying was going to work in the game. And how!
