Does anyone else think that HW really could do with more examples? I found myself reading the rules and having to stop and work out examples in my head to make clear what the rules were saying. I would suggest that if HW gets to a second printing the 4 pages in the handout in the deluxe set which currently have a bunch of runes and a couple of pictures on them be changed to have a comprehensive example of play instead. Perhaps a two column job with narrative description on the left and a game-mechanical description on the right. (If this sounds a bit WhiteWolfy don't let it scare you off. It's helpful... No, really.)
Particular examples I'd like to see would include the use of affinities and feats from the more popular keywords (so we get a better idea of which feats are augmentations or whatever), an oratorial argument or bartering session and, of course, a detailed example of a fight with followers, lots of magic and the works.
In the meantime, would list-members be interested in putting together a collection of examples on a website, where we could point interested parties looking for an explanation of augmentation, missile combat and so on? I can't offer a site myself being firewalled at work, but I imagine it could fit nicely on the www.glorantha.com site. Would the rules consultants (can't remember 'em from the front of the book right now, except Alex) and Roderick be willing to vet examples for rules-kosherness?
Cheers, Myles
