	*'''Card Combat Decks:''' You will now be able to build and equip multiple decks to try out different strategies and play styles. To support this flexibility more skills and more AI combat behaviors will come online		*'''PVP:''' We will introduce some simple PVP rules / mechanics including scoring and the concept of teams.
	*'''Damage Types & Resistances:''' Damage types and resistances (fire, ice, physical, etc.) will begin to affect combat		*'''Combat Systems:''' We will be iterating and adding to the fundamental systems that support combat, including more secondary effects like bludgeons damaging gear. Magic will now require reagents to cast spells at full strength (current thinking is you can still cast without reagents but the effectiveness of the spell is reduced for each missing reagent). We will also be adding the ability to execute combos and we will add functionality to positioning and cover.
	*'''Player Housing: Exterior Decorations and Permissions:''' Do you desire even more from housing? Your greatest desires will be answered with advanced features that greatly expand the player housing system including exterior decorations, house purchase in game, and player lot access permissions so you can control who can visit your space (everyone, friends, or kindred)		*'''Combat Skills:''' For Release 9, our goal is to flesh out more of the schools of [[Water Magic\|Water]], [[Bludgeon school\|Bludgeons]], and [[Gambeson school\|Light Armor]]. We will also make a pass at adding innate skills to all schools.
	*'''Crafting Expansions:''' Crafting will expand to include enhancements and events during crafting.		*'''Scenes:''' [[Ardoris]], the waterfront city on the main continent filled with canals and framed by two opposing castles, will now be available to players. Other adventuring scenes on the main continent will also appear. These new scenes on the mainland will be accessed via the [[Lunar Rift]]s which will now change destinations based on time of day. The player town island will now come in two additional density levels that increase the number of lots on those islands.
	*'''Player Made Books:''' For those aspiring writers you can now write books in the game. These original manuscripts will be one of a kind items that can be traded or sold or submitted for publishing for a small fee. Published books will get copied and placed throughout the world.		*'''New Creatures:''' Several new creatures will come online including a new [[mimic]] and an [[Ice Elemental]], as well as variations on existing creatures (liches, kobolds, etc.).
	*'''Character Creation Improvements:''' Do you wish you could style yourself even more? Well wish no longer, as we add more options to modify, more content to select, and improvements to the interface.		*'''Crafting:''' Durability and Repair will come online. Attacking will have a chance to decrease durability on weapons and damage received will have a chance to decrease armor durability. Durability decreases will NOT decrease the effectiveness of items.
	*'''New Creatures:''' Several new creatures will come online including clockwork creatures, gremlins and female elves.		*'''Overworld Animating Avatars:''' Players will now see their avatars (along with their party members) animating on the overworld map.
	*'''Encumbrance:''' Weight limits and values will come into play		*'''Intro Cinematic:''' We are making an animatic version of the intro with narration by our very own Bill Johnson (aka The Guardian).
	*'''Overworld Roving Encounters:''' Encounters will now move around the overworld including monsters, NPCs, gypsy wagons, etc.		*'''Character Customization:''' At least one new facial feature will come online. Additionally an update to how we handle hair and facial hair will add layers, transparency, and animations.
	*'''Combat Skills:''' More combat skills will come online		*'''Minimap System:''' Tired of getting lost in Owlshead? Well you can now rejoice, for in R9 you will now have maps (as inventory objects) that when used will bring up the map of the scene you are in and mark your location on it. This will be the first iteration of the minimap system, so only a few maps will be available.
	*'''Party Loot Rules:''' Set how loot will be divided amongst party members. Leave the party leader in charge or random distribution? You decide.
	*'''Scenes:''' More adventuring scenes, player towns, and plot areas on the main continent will also appear.		==Trivia==
