@10centjimmy @jnewt @ShortKing @DJBillyShakes @dkh64 @Rezi @pman @Euri @Blockmon @matthewyoung123 @Arkansas Progressive Tagging all for both my playtests here so don't have to post twice. Had a bout of vertigo but much improved now. Will work on some things tonight and should be able to fully catch up tomorrow and resume playtests. Thanks!

Rules doc has been updated to reflect this.

Sorry for the delay. Feels good to be able to sit up without the room spinning!! Thanks for not killing me off yet. Presidential nominee dying from vertigo isn't very sexy 😛 I will hold a rally in PA on Reform; spending 6 WC.
