 ====== Extensions ====== ====== Extensions ======
-<WRAP center round alert 100%> +Extensions are **optional** rules that add to or modify mechanical behavior from those presented in the [[core:start|Core Rules]]. Most [[content-packs:start|Content Packs]] rely on one or more Extensions. 
-This is just a scaffolding for the future rules extensions landing page... Most content is currently deprecated while I'm working on a major rules revision.+ 
 +__They:__ 
 +  * introduce new systems, not new fiction 
 +  * define resolution methods, constraints, or affordances 
 +  * are setting-agnostic by default 
 +  * may be enabled or disabled independently 
 + 
 +__Examples:__ 
 +  * Equipment rules 
 +  * Hit locations 
 +  * Social conflict mechanics 
 +  * Vehicles 
 +  * Magic systems 
 +  * Sanity / Stress 
 + 
 +Extensions never contain setting-specific lists or lore. 
 + 
 +The GM shall determine which Extensions are in use for their game world. A [[checklist|checklist]] is provided that the GM can provide as a handout to players, so they are aware of which Extensions are in use.
