Hi there, loving the starter so far! I just have one question: do quickstart characters just have less, or did I miss something? For a quickstart kit, it says to choose 1 edge, while a young gun begins with 3 edges. What happens then if one of my players goes for a quickstart and the other goes for freeform? Should I tell them both to choose 3 edges regardless of what the quickstart kit says?
BOY I hope you either got a side-reply or otherwise figured this out in the last month +. But in case anyone stumbles on this seeking the same info I* wanted to quickly reply that you pick three separate character parts, a Bloodline, an Origin, and a Post, each contributing to your character sheet in roughly equal measure. So you get three edges, because you are choosing that "1 edge" three separate times.
*I am just some dude playing the game, not any particular authority. But I feel confident enough in this understanding to hopefully help you out with your specific confustion, here.
In the character sheet, there are 18 skills, but in the currently available 08 version of the quickstart, only 16 are listed and described. Concoct and Harvest aren't listed on page 52. However, Harvest is briefly described over on page 61, under Specimens.
Yeah, that's just a minor error on my part (and entirely my fault) as I tried to cut those skills out of the free basic to slim down some mechanical stuff... Apparently not perfectly :P
Still V.8 - the 1.1 update notice was a copy and paste error from the actual core book, which was indeed updated. sorry for the confusion, edited the page description for the future.
They're a part of the appendix of the full book, I'm afraid! The whole section is about ten pages long (iirc), so it was a bot too big to fit into the free version.

Thanks so much! That really helps :)

Is this still V-0.8 or is it V-1.1? The files still say 0.8.

Are the rules for playing without a GM in this book? I can't seem to find them.
