Traverse 3.0 has just been released. This major update mainly tackles the issues discussed in my "Stereotypes in Fantasy Worldbuilding" post, so I encourage you to read that.

In particular, these changes were made:

- The Kazejin heritage has been edited to not rely on the "honour" stereotype of East Asian cultures.
- The Kazejin heritage skill has been changed from "Calm Center", which was not relevant to the heritage summary and instead relied on stereotypes of meditation and Buddhist monks, to "Wind Whisper", which is more canonically interesting.
- The Kokuum heritage has been completely rewritten. Instead of being a questionable amalgamation of Central and North American Indigenous tropes, they are now a fantastical and inventive mix of wood elf and Ent.
- The character illustration for the Kokuum heritage page has been edited to reflect new information.
- A selection of character illustrations from the heritage chapter have been mirrored. This is because they were first drawn in pairs of "female" and "male", with the "female" always on the right.  After modifying heritage descriptions and including far more inclusive language, this is just a little change to step that tiny bit further away from the gender binary, hoping to simply represent two different characters of a heritage instead of "one female character, one male."
- Various characters from Chapter 1: Heritage and various locations in Appendix A: Locations have been modified to reflect the new canon.
- Appendix C: Inclusivity now includes a header called Cultural Flavour, which encourages players to invent and inject cultural specifics into gameplay and character creation to deepen the necessarily shallow descriptions in the chapter on heritage.
- New art has been included at the end of Appendix C: Inclusivity and Appendix G: Tables & Charts due to new material opening up blank space in the formatting.
- As always, a few grammatical and formatting corrections have been made.
