Another one to add to the list... it would be nice to have the Menu Selection mechanic added to Hindrances as well as on Edges. The reason is that Hindrances are free and it's a useful mechanic for adding certain in-game effects that might otherwise be considered Edges but are not available for purchase as an Edge.

Alternately, and maybe this is a better way to handle it, add another Edge-type setup that is available for free in the same way Hindrances are... maybe call it In-Game Effects or something like that. I've been using it for various non-Hindrance/Edge type things like the various Deadlands "Veteran of the..." effects, the HoE Mutations, the Weird Wars Rome Legacy effects, and so on. It's not always clear to the players that such things are available as a "Hindrance" so adding another item there could be pretty helpful. Just keep in mind that they could be positive or negative effects so you need the capabilities of both Edges and Hindrances to be available there.
