My only concern is that the fundamental FRINGE task resolution mechanic
needs work to bring it up to the FUDGE standard, i.e. compared to the
simplicity of FUDGE dice, FRINGE is decidedly complicated. Or not? What
do you guys think? How complicated and easy-to-use is the basic FRINGE
mechanic?
Your pirates game seems pretty interesting. Care to let us know more? :)
