"Root!" didn't really take off at my house. I thought it looked fun, but it's a bit too competitive for my wife. Settlers of Catan has been making a comeback. It turns out my son's school library has a copy and he sometimes plays it over lunch with his friends.
I've taken a pass at updating my character, here

I also noticed that there is now a bunch of initial skills you get for "free" (stealth, persuasion, etc) at character creation in the Adventure's Edition. I vaguely recall I had to pay points to get those. Should we be getting some "free" skill points too?
To be transparent, the min-maxer in me is intrigued by the Leadership Edges. In particular Tactician and Master Tactician with Natural Leader seem pretty amazing for making the entire party better in fights. So if I can redistribute some skill points to pick up Battle d6 and swap out 2 of my edges (Beast Bond and Common Bond probably (i.e. the 2 I just picked up)), I can pick up Command and Natural Leader. Then I can start to pick up some of the interesting Leadership Edges.
