Discussion concerning new corpora
Zander - The corpora team (Zander, Ryuujin, Black Bart (Blackimus), and Gagiepoo have written a new corpora which is a real upgrade from our current playtest corpora, it simplifies a lot of verbage, and streamlines it, bringing it to a modern corpora that is comparable to other kingdoms. Fixes some issues, and removes other items that we were the only kingdom still using. It has been recently been updated taking all kingdom feedback into consideration. A current copy is available on the kingdom page (google docs).
