I thought about that, but I worry that you can easily overwhelm a new player with numbers. But I think adding a "remember your wager" line under Be AGGRESSIVE would be good for this.

2) The areas for Initiative, Strain, and Avoidance are rather large. Is there a way to condense them or maybe just put a big circle and someone could put a d10 in the spot representing the number? I get that the numbers written could be used with coins, tokens, etc. but it's a lot of room to show 3 numbers that don't change a lot.
I came very close to doing this originally, but went with the number slides instead. The reason they use so much space is I sized it for a half-inch glass bead.
That said, I think I'll make this change and see how it looks. I think it makes a lot of sense and I'll need the space.

3) Perhaps in the "Dice Pools" you could have lines where people could write their own descriptions? So one player might have Unarmed Dice Pool, Casting Pool, etc.
Well, ideally these mats are laminated. So there's no reason you couldn't make notes with a visa-vie pen, or slap a post-it note full of combos on it. Again, I just worry about slapping lots of numbers and hard combos in front of the player. Besides, the GM is gonna call for a Melee+Strength roll anyway. Plus, I worry about tying the GM's hands with hard combo formulas. Yeah, I know they were prescribed in 1st edition but 2nd has moved away from that somewhat.

4) The columsn of "Action Speed" and "Action Type" look like they correspond right and left, that could get confusing.
Good point. I'll adjust that.

4b) Trivial might also have (with other action) or something to indicate how it's used.
Another good point. I'll work on that.
Thanks!
