Check out my blog volleyfirewargames,blogspot.com I just got back from Scotland where I spent 4 months last year. I got to game a lot over there.

I've never thought it out as cogently as presented here, even though those same concepts have always been in my thoughts when doing scenario design or rules ! Interesting and insightful.

I don't know if it was a technical glitch or what, but here's the 3rd principle that should be in the article. If anyone reads this and it's looking like no one does anyway, since there are no comments, I'm paranoid about making sure everything was properly edited. I don't know why the first paragraph was mangled either. 3. A rule set is merely a mechanism to allow the player to focus on the tactical problem. Rules provide the framework to play. They should never be the focus of the game. Remind players that are no “new rules”. All games have the core elements built on the foundation of fire, move, modifiers, morale, and environment (terrain/weather). The only difference is how the designer incorporates, combines, or cloaks these elements for different historical periods. Keep these elements in mind and it’s easier to teach the game, the players pick it up faster. Ok.

Who knew RPGs were the IN thing at the vomitorium? I had no idea we had a FBook page (obviously). Ahhhh, the Roman D20 (referring to image on the FB page).
