Interesting discussion.  I agree that the feminist themes are front and center. Marxism seems like a very tenuous connection. There’s many different political theories that criticize corporate capitalism. You could just as easily see the franchise as pro-fascist — out-of-control corporations clearly...

what if a character with 2 strength hits the gym for while? or does that just allow an increase to their might?

If a character has 2 Strength, that probably means they aren’t the type to hit the gym in the first place.

I would be happy if it were done every three months. One cycle = one season. Maybe with some penalties to production in winter, that kind of thing. 

Good points Fenhorn.  We will have to wait and see for many of those things. Also, I thought of a few more things: - The chapter doesn't explicitly mention a water supply.  It seems too tedious track individual units of water, or being able to build a well.  Is the assumption that any stronghold has...

Hi Fria Ligan team, Just went through the beta chapter for the Stronghold and thought I'd give some feedback. - Overall it looks great.  Crunchy enough to maintain interest over a long campaign, but not so rules-heavy that tracking everything becomes a tedious bookkeeping exercise (which was my expe...
