Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback so far, or left a review! I am reading everything, so please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. I'll be bug fixing and tweaking for the next week or so. Then, keep an eye out for a larger update adding a new die class. It'll be worth your time (or money...)[/p][p][/p][p]Till next time,[/p][p]sofamire[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
