Chaosium has outlined the rules changes in the new edition of Credo: The Game of Duelling Dogmas, answering questions from players familiar with the original ziplock release. Designer Chris Gidlow’s comparison describes a streamlined game with options for shorter or longer sessions. Players now receive a version of

each article of faith in their initial deal, replacing the old cycle of drawing and discarding each turn. Card draws also determine outcomes such as persecution, taking over from dice rolls and reference tables. Using a Church Father to teach or refute is now a standard action. Accusations of heresy subtract votes from

an opponent, replacing heterodox books that previously added votes. The revised game also mixes new events with familiar ones. This is a specific explanation of the new rules, rather than another announcement that the edition is available. Read the official source. Image: Chaosium; official comparison image of Credo
