Cinemechanix: Edges 2: Hammer Fight!

Steve Johnson6 years ago2 years ago02 mins

Last week I talked about the specialization rules for Edges that I’m hoping to start playtesting soon. Just as a reminder, there are 3 levels of Edges: The Edge itself, which gives you a number of die bonuses equal to the rating and cost 5 points; A Tag, which gives you an extra die bonus…

Visit them at www.atlas-games.com) You know how my answers to the last couple of questions have been short? Well, this one’s going to be the exact opposite of that. I’ve…
