Added the concept of 'alternate' scenes, so scenes unlocked on one branch can unlock scenes of corresponding story progress and intimacy level on another.  Memory entries for scenes will now include a ribbon/banner in the upper-right corner that indicate the type: 'Main', 'Mini', or 'Alt'.

First few instances of the 'Proficiency' system.  These choices should look pretty much the same as spell selection selections in Encounters, only I added a tooltip to these showing the spell's name.  Might do the same with Encounters if folks want it.

If you run into any bugs/issues, please report them on this page or in the appropriate role channel on Discord and mark any spoilers until the release has progressed to the next stage (ie tag spoilers in #master until the Mage release, after which anything in #master doesn't need tags, while anything in #mage does).

The primary download mechanism this time is a restricted Itch page, the url and password for which are just below.  The links on this page will be updated regularly with any typo/issue fixes.

Non-Itch links on the Practitioner post for those who have trouble with Itch.  Barring a patch for a major issue, these links will not be updated in between tier releases.
