Feedback Welcome

I'm fairly settled on the layout and presentation now so the main focus will be on polishing, editing and balancing elements based on feedback as I aim to move towards the 'final' (if these things are ever final) version 1 of the system which leads me to...

If anyone has downloaded and started to read this, then any feedback would be much appreciated from simple spotting of errors to feedback on game balancing for example. 

There is a community forum on the main page (link here) if anyone has any comments, thank you.
