<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm sure we'd all like to see P&P back out there. I do think we need to collape the number of rules mechanics down so that we don't have these special case resolution systems for each skill (or so it seems), and to make it easy for new people to pick it up. What I saw of the "P&P v2" draft looked pretty much like v1...I hope this is not what you were thinking, Richard.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Any way you can throw some of the "stickier" rules to the list to hash out and polish up? Perhaps even go through the books a subsection at a time (perhaps one sub section at a time, discussing it for a week or 25 messages, whichever comes first :).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I want to play in the Perilous Lands, and I want to use a system tailored for it. But we do need to smooth out the existing system...us old-timers have no problem with complexity, but rules make-work doesn't sell very well nowdays, and the new gamers are too lazy to dive into needless rule detail.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>That and the fact that the new rules should not look like a military manual in layout. :} See rule 1.0.403. :}</FONT>
