ComplexityHow much there is to learn
Medium
The core is fast and forgiving: roll a trait die plus a wild d6, keep the higher, and beat a 4. Bennies and card-based initiative overlay most rolls as light extras. The real breadth is Edges, Hindrances, and Powers, surfacing mostly at character creation.
