So, in case you weren't keeping up with the 20 page Lunar Playtest thread (that is upholding the storied tradition of Lunar Threads) a straight up Lunars Preview dropped! (I wasn't, I actually first realized this existed because of a post on FivePoles, but the playtest thread was the only place I saw it mentioned)

It may be due to the fact that I still have the sense of humor of a 12 year old, but how succinct and nonchalant the flavor text for Heart-Drinking Allure is made me giggle.
The corollary that Memory-Drinking Meditation requires you to keep an intimacy of your targets to maintain their memories is flavorful and fun. Maintaining the memories of all of your victims carries a price on your personality and that is awesome.
Devil-Pleasing Chiminage is straight up a fun session hook, with weight in the social system, and also made me break out my dictionary.
I knew that there had been some cards tipped on Steel Paw Style, but I don't know if the fact that it could only be done with certain weapons was known. Regardless I think that's a smart move, although there is another Lunars Thread™ going on right now related to this style of charm that I also stopped following.
Stalking Nightmare Hunter is bonkers awesome. WOLFMAN FREDDY KRUEGER IS GONNA TAKE YOUR SHAPE. Am I missing something, or is this for permsies too?
So a nice taste of some of the alternative methods to steal human forms, and some nice displays of Lunar power. I was hoping for a peak at some of the beastman making, territory, or cache charms, but we have to save something for the actual book I guess.
All in all I would say they felt very Lunar-y, for whatever given value you have for that. I enjoyed them, and found they clearly presented their effects.
