Thank you for the feedback as well Don. Pat Sweeney and I are friends. I've worked on several of Firefly's projects either play-testing or even co-authoring. That's all I'll say about that.

We played sessions of FT with my kids (boy 11, girl 12) and several adults and had a great time. My son enjoyed it, but he is already a roleplayer so that might have something to do with it. Pat ran the game, and it didn't really have a 'girlish' slant, but there was a fair amount of action going on as well.
