GZG products/SOAP BOX WARNING!!

PREACHY GAME ADDICT ALERT!

Just a thought. This is a mailing list for GZG products. As long as a message
even tenuously can contribute to either a discussion of tactics, strategy,
miniatures, or design of and for games using GZG rulesets- I think
that's fine. If someone wants to promote another ruleset- by all
means contrast it against a GZG product so that we can make an
educated decision. To arbitrarily say "well so-and-so system does
this" in the midst of a discussion on adding to a system does no good unless
you provide a way in which to utilize that information for the betterment of
the GZG system. I LIKE the products that GZG puts out a Damn sight better than
anything either GW or West End games has
offered (including Star Wars miniatures-which I have played) The
reason for this is not only the quality and simplicity of the system,
but the user-friendliness of it's creator(s). How many games can
you name where the author puts up with a metric ton of e-mail on a
daily basis to get at the odd kernel of a good idea? The only other one I know
of is Steve Jackson. NONE of these games RECOMMENDS that you use whatever
minis you like. Hell, that makes me like the products even more! Back to the
point. If you are going to say something about another company's competing
product, do it in such a way as to add to the discussion on improving or
adding to a ruleset published by GZG.
OK, I'm done. (Damn, I've lived in the bible belt too long!!);-)

It benefits GZG rules systems to know where the limitations are of thier
games. One of the reasons I like GZG systems is that it does not try to shoe
horn systems into it that do not fit and prevents it from descending into the
depths that certain game products have. So the threshold for whether or not an
idea should be expressed here should be rather liberal, if you don't like the
idea, delete the message... Phil P.
