is undamaged. Advanced play In addition to the basic guidelines defined above, each character has additional statistics. They include manna, strength, con, dexterity, per, wil, ctr, wtg, and specific armor and weapon statistics. The Revised Rules In 2005, American game designer Paul DeStefano joined Adiken and created the wholly revamped Core Rules. These rules corrected numerous errors in the original game which were the result of both poor translations and poor playtesting. The new Core Rules streamlined play tremendously, removing the need for most record keeping, enhancing gameplay and revamping the magic system. Overall, the new rules created a far superior game which was nominated for an Origins award for best miniatures rules. Unfortunately, the company would not last long enough to release the many planned expansions. Comment from the Authors The Game Nin-Gonost was nominated for an Origins award for best miniatures game and not miniatures rules in 2005, months before any collaboration with freelancers.
