I wish I'd ordered the Blade Runner dice! They look cool!

I was hoping the whole Starforged book was wirebound. That's such a useful format for use at the table. (The Roll & Play books are that way, which makes them a lot easier to wrangle for a GM.)

Once you play it the first time you really only need the reference guide.
