Welcome James!Shadow Demon wrote: I have to give huge kudos to Charlie Mason for his White Box update. I would encourage him to not be fearful of branching out from Matt’s shadow if it will improve the consistency, presentation, and playablity of the game. I have a few thoughts on this that I plan to bring up in another post under the appropriate forum that may be useful to include in a future update or not. I am a lot of more mellow about rules specifics than even just a few years ago; this also means that the cows are not nearly as sacred as they used to be. I think fun and community should be the paramount concern although I love to discuss the whats and whys of a ruleset.
I'm completely open to any and all input regarding the game. I would love to read your feedback. I'm currently working on some other projects that I want to finish (S&W Fanzine, updated quickstart rules and a Hex/campaign expansion for White Box) and then I'll look into really doing a nice update to White Box: FMAG.
I completely agree that fun and community is the most important thing. Which is why I choose White Box! If you're not a rules purist, it's the perfect game. Hopefully, the zine and the updated quickstart will help build the community so we all can have more fun!
Anyways... Glad to have you on board!
