Yay for non-blogging hiatuses. Lots of things going on. New full time job (yay!) with a new full time job commute (boo!). Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Stuff left is some random event charts in character creation, a Xeno chapter for the space critters, and some universe fluff. The system itself has remained remarkably stable over the development.
