v0.10 major update

TL;DR: This version takes Ventureborn further from its Into The Odd / Knave / Cairn / Mausritter roots, and hopefully makes it a more unique and more flexible game kit. It's more Into The Odd / Fate Core now!

~~~

For a long time I've been trying to integrate Fate's Aspects directly into the Into The Odd mainframe. Having it as an optional rule felt... tacked on, which wasn't great as that was my favoured play style. It finally clicked into place when I took a look at how 2d20 Dune did it: only a specific kind of trait would be used in attacks in conflicts. 

Managing item slots from Knave and Cairn were well and good, but weren't as widely applicable to multiple genres as I liked: space travel-y scifi, superpowers, etc. I loved item slots, but in my own play, they were going unused much of the time as (a) my characters didn't always go on delves and such, and (b) I didn't always want to manage items and resources even while delving. Those rules aren't gone: just changed to an optional set of rules!

In my opinion, the best part of OSR games (that Into The Odd epitomised) was quick and simple character generation. Fate Core doesn't quite have that, if a player doesn't have a strong concept from the start. I hope that the accompanying tables make character creation just as easy here.

In detail:

• Traits and PP moved into core rules.
  • Added a specific type of Traits, Assets, that would be used in attacks. 
  • Expanded random tables to give more fodder for making Traits.
  • Expanded explanations on what Traits are and how they are used.
• Slots and tracking of Items and Magic moved into optional rules. 
• Rearranging of rules sections here and there, clean up of wording.
• Added some illustrations.

I'm keen for feedback and ideas, please do share them if you'd like to!
