I don't know what happened, but it looks like I completely missed that Kenny had posted. Weird. That, or I was just too busy to deal with it and forgot.
The freeform turn order throws me off on these forums, in person it goes a bit faster I think.
And no, turn order isn't fixed. Everyone gets a chance to pick who goes when during the turn, but can completely change that up in subsequent turns. I like it, because you can make someone doing something critical go first and get that done, before the big bad shoots them.
