This new edition is great - I love it! Congratulations to Luke Crane, Pete Tierney, Thor Olav et al for their wonderful work.
I also appreciate whoever put the effort into those appendices. Thank you. I'm gonna have to celebrate by burning up somebody.

I did come up with a couple questions, though:

First, is there a seperate resource point cost for firearms, or do they cost 3rp / 5rp / 20rp like melee weapons?
Mickeroo's firearms and munitions thread seems to be about manufacturing your own.
Maybe I could extrapolate myself if I knew how many sous to a resource point.
There's a chart on page 93 but the ratio seems to vary a lot.

Second, in the wife lifepaths, is the marriage ceremony at the beginning or at the end or in the middle?
Am I a pervert if I 'burn up' a 22 year-old country wife? Sounds like a dumb question but I had to ask.

I don't think you're going to break anything by declaring the ceremony at any point in the 10 years. Besides, I'm pretty sure the average age of a bride in the Middle Ages was 16, with 14 not being terribly rare.

Heck, in some cultures marriage is arranged at birth... ;)
