Steamforged announced pre-orders for the game back in January, riding the coattails of the commercially successful but critically middling tabletop game it Kickstarted in 2016.<\/p>\n<p >Last week, players who bought in early reported serious inconsistencies in what they were reading from their rulebooks.

In another, Casters couldn\u2019t wield a recommended weapon.
