[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4621427, member: 2020"] (sighs) Why couldn't they make Star Fleet Battles into a full computer game? Even if only for player on player? Everyone thinks the D&D rules argument is big? The Edition mess is big? I'll tell you what's big: the number of rules in Star Fleet Battles. How big? THREE THOUSAND PAGES, IN 6 POINT FONT, BIG. Nobody ever did understand all of the rules (including me), and we could only guess at what the rules were. Yes, you heard that right: we had to GUESS at what the rules were. We did, and we had fun, in spite of it. And people complain about the rules in D&D not being exactly this way or that way? lol ... A computer game, would have understood the rules, and required everyone to abide by them, and we at least would have known what we were playing. As it was, we were ALL Newbies, ala 0 level players just playing their first couple of D&D games. And we could never progress much past that, because nobody could understand 3,000 pages of 6 point font rules (especially since they were *constantly* errating them.) [/QUOTE]
