This is great. Thank you, Harlath!

In my experience fatigue just varies depending on the luck of the roll. You'll be fine.

You're missing the fact that each 6 rolled on a success gives you an additional success.

I know the corebook has an adventure in it, but about the other products? What adventures are in the boxed Starter Set?
