I don´t use edges and flaws. I think they´re to much trouble. Of course you want an explanation. Hm. Well, I think they bring the rules into areas that are best handled without rules. And they tend to make characters silly, because it´s so easy to go over the top. However, there are things I like about them. The drug thread made me think of that. It would be nice to compencate a player who decided to throw in an addiction in his character´s concept. I guess I could introduce a heavily rationalized edges and flaws system. Take away anything that could be even moderately problematic...
