Hello jj, I'm listening, and enjoying your offerings on net.frp.
I am running a Star Frontiers game here in PY, and may be contributing some
experience from running that campaign.
But up to this week I've been running short adventures, as a sort of warm-up
for the characters to get a few experience points, familiarize ourselves
with the combat system, and lull the players into the World View.

I find that combat systems are so complicated, with lots of details about
actions and roll modifiers, and it takes me a long time practising to be able
to remember the nits and grits.  Is this common?

Some of my players read the news, so I can't say more ...
