    No word! The first priority is getting MFØ out. Then the RPG and space battle rules.

    They sure do add up! A correction: you don't add the white dice. You can optionally replace any die with a white die when it's better.

    Movement dice work like the rest of your dice: you roll them when your Frame is going, then you can move with them or with white dice. Movement dice make a frame move more reliably. Spot dice increase the efficacy of subsequent attacks from other frames. So an attack that would have done 1 hit die of damage might do 4 instead.

    Mark, I encourage — nay, INVITE — you to bring that company to the table while I'm there!

    I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea, but sure! Invest heavily in weapons!

    For the record, no one on this project is using a pseudonym (not that we'd admit it if they were), with the exceptions that Vincent is really his middle name. Online, sometimes he's Lumpley. Richmond is Ryujin online. I don't know what Thor goes by. I don't think he's been to the Hangar yet.

    Rob, that's really neat! It's a license thing, which means The LEGO Group would have a lot of red tape to crawl through, but I'd love to see the guy get them in production somehow!
