Thanks Torben for posting my text. I got confused yesterday and actually posted my reply to Caleb before my membership was approved. Tricky thing, these Yahoo...
Count me in! I'd be happy to help in any way I can. I agree that a Journal format (monthly or bi-monthly) is best. It'll be more structured & formal. For...
I'll sit down tonight and start to get a message-board going on my site. Don't know how much time I'll have today (suddenly my day gets very busy), but I'm...
Just noticed that the citation immediately above yours is for a book by 'Ann Paludan'. So it's probably more of a copy/paste error or oversight than a true...
I just love phpBB2. Amazingly simple to use, even for a relative web- idiot like me... The journal message board is up and running. People need to register and...
Manuel, THANK YOU! First because you came with a bright idea: a ezine about Britannia. Second: because you MAY SAVE US FROM THE ENDLESS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ...
In "History of the British Isles", the Saxons (the English, actually--Saxons and Angles merge) can build "Burhs", fortified townlets, which have the effect of...
... I have worked on a Brit-like Fantasy game, in which nations can learn "civilization abilities" (which, however, make them more decadent and, hence, more...
... The existence of house rules is in the nature of the beast. Giving them official status, and thus creating conflicting expectations whenever players from...
... It is my contention that almost any set of rules is open to 'misinterpretation' (by which I mean some interpretation that is different from what the author...
... If the webpages are mostly used for scenarios and variants, where these are clearly marked as such, I don't see any problem as long as the "standard game"...
Torben, That seems like a good compromise. Do you consider the AH rules to be too 'verbose' for today's gamers? I ask because it seems like, with a few notable...
... I think they would be O.K. ... I agree. It also depend on the number of illustrations and examples used in the rules. Though these take up space, they...
... examples ... easier to ... I tend to favor minimal examples. For me, they break up the flow of the rules more often than they help (unless the rules...
There's about 8000 words in the AH rules and a little more in the WEBC rules. The wording and structure of the WEBC set is clearer. Even if the 'official'...
It is a pity that the TRC on the AH board contains errors. The TRC, VPTs and other rules should be easy to update and therefore not part of the map. Leave some...
... Agreed. The errors on the TRC would definitely need correcting. I'm not saying we should use the AH rules as the base; just that I don't think they're...
... And this is harder to do when it is printed on the map. A separate sheet can more easily be replaced with a corrected version, and it has the added...
... I'd have to say that if we can't be certain of getting the TRC printed correctly, then yes, I agree it should be on a separate sheet. However, this is not...
Don't nobody move. I want you to take this yahoo discussion group to Cuba. I am very much in agreement with Torben that a separate TRC is more flexible and...
... There are a number of things that are explained poorly and incompletely. For example, the list of units in thegame mention that Normans and Norwegians...
Hi, I have been reading the discussions with interest. I have to agree with those who say there is no such thing as an ironclad set of rules; where language...
... Greets, I would take this a step further. The author/designer should actually state his/her intention, rather than rely on a legalistic form of rule...
Some GMT rules include designer comments within the rules. (Berg does this a lot; but then Berg seems to be regarded by some people as weak in the rules...
I guess that all that needs to go into the box is no more or less than someone needs to play the game. Given the -in all likelihood- (initially) ephemeral...
