This is all really cool. I run my game with a similar mindset, but you definitely go further than I do and I'm interested to try out parts of your system. I was wondering if:
1.) You could post the must current version of the Playtest rules (if you have them written up)?
2.) You could explain the Skill Combat system? I'm a little confused as to how it works (I've read all of your posts as well as the pdf, but I'm still not quite getting it).
Thanks! Nice work on all this!
