Temporarily coming out of my long social media hibernation to say...check...this...out!

It's been such a blast to work on this project. I even got to write some sections. I'm so excited we get to share it with playtesters soon!

Make your vice get in the way and play to take charge to hit a lot of your XP triggers. Make friends with a people who can patch you up (like Sawtooth) and then don't be afraid to get hurt trying to help your crew. Bodyguard is a very fun ability as is Savage!

Ah, thanks so much for the kind words Iain!
