As far as combat goes I understand how good i am with a gun but do not know what I need to actually shoot someone. It does not specify what attribute goes with the skill to roll or how hard it is to hit someone in just your run of the mill gunfight. Did I miss it?

I am new to this whole message board, blog thing so I always have trouble getting thing to come out right. I don't even know what blog means. Whenever a new game comes out ( ones that I hear about anyway ) I am trying to discern how easy it would be to get people to play it. People who have seen the movie will have a leg up on the game. The people who have seen both the sereies and movie even more so. My concerns are for the getting people who are unfamiliar with the setting interested. Serenity as it stands now puts all the pressure on the gamemaster, which if you have a good gamemaster is not a problem. But like I said its early in the game so we will see. Hell there have been so many incarnations of dungeons and dragons I am still complaining about...lol

I think your Subject line is quite misleading concidering your stance on the game. While it does have it's problems, I think it's an absolutely fantastic system. The creation of characters is well laid out, the combat is quick and it gives tons of information for simple stories, along with great tips for storytellers. I've been role playing for about 15 years now and the book's advise to storytellers opened my eyes to things i never even concidered before, and it's information i've been able to apply to my World of Darkness games andd Shadowrun games. Two thumbs way up, and all that jazz. The book rocks. The game rocks.
