don't forget that one needs dedicated players to actually make any use of what makes HeroWars and similar games so special. call me a 'loser', but it seems my second game in line is about to crash because my players don't get 'it'.
maybe it's me, maybe it's them, but it's always 'new-style' [me] vs. 'old-school'[them], and after a while it seems we don't get together anymore.
it's a shame, but the only possible solution would be to go back to a RuneQuest-style of play, in which case the HW-rules wouldn't be necessary anymore or even worse, won't work.
recently I experienced the same when we tried to have a short
excursion to 'Donjon' - funny one-session chaos, allright.
but my players [the same as above] still didn't do justice to what the game is all about -
player participation and imagination.
[I might add that,while the game reads to be a lot of fun, it isn't
running smoothly enough, too many rules for this type of game, at
least IMHO]
is there anybody else with similar problems?
