Traditions!
Page 73 has a statement that when you leave a tradition, you may {with DM approval} *restart* the tradition.
I presume this means paying 1,000 XP and gain the rank I abilities and then work your way back up... doesn't this make every tradition 'repeatable'? Take SuperStar Athlete and rake in the money over and over again..
In OLD, assuming this rule translates over, you could make a monster spellcaster by switching back and forth between two casting traditions on the cheap.
Also on that page is a statement that you cannot train-up a skill/ability twice in a row and have to train up another one before coming back. Can this be changes to 'cannot train-up a skill/ability beyond the point of adding a new dice to the pool'? That way you avoid the 4 or more adventure delays in boosting your skill from a 6 to a 10 and getting that 4th dice...

I'd love to see the new races and stuff!
So they are! Awesome!
I just managed to look at this on a PC rather than a phone, and I must say -- I think that's a great way to summarize a setting. A map with stats around the edges.
I think it might be cool to add some info for folks that want to make their own races. It was pretty easy but we originally had a couple characters come out with 0 for some stats because we had given them an initial minus that was too high.
Maybe you could include a small sub section that describes total bonuses that could be awarded and the types of special abilities they could come with.
Feel free to use any of the ones we came up with. It was pretty fun and the characters are very invested in the different races.

There's a whole chapter on that sort of thing! Check out page 269! It might be a tad outdated now (there should never be minuses).
