My only concern is that the fundamental FRINGE task resolution mechanic 
needs work to bring it up to the FUDGE standard, i.e. compared to the 
simplicity of FUDGE dice, FRINGE is decidedly complicated. Or not? What 
do you guys think? How complicated and easy-to-use is the basic FRINGE 
mechanic?

Your pirates game seems pretty interesting. Care to let us know more? :)
