Origins focused on simplicity, not balance.Requires Origins. Replaces all base origins.
Also try Statures and TooManyOrigins(Minus)!
Temporary Notice: Origins Minus 1.21 is only compatible with Origins 1.13.0-alpha.9 due to issues in subsequent versions.
Origins Minus is a collection of simple origins designed to replace the built-in set. Each origin is designed to:
- Be easy to understand and easy to remember
- Add something unique to the game feel
- Reduce the friction and difficulty of a specific aspect of the game
- Invoke no drawbacks (1 dot) or have a small implicit drawback (2 dots)
- Be opt-in fun, without punishing details you can forget
- Invite different builds via traversal mechanics
- Be ambiguously themed so you can add your own personality!
With this in mind, the new origins aren't at all balanced against vanilla (or eachother!) - they're just for fun.
