[QUOTE="MEAT, post: 4924254, member: 84297"] [FONT=Verdana]I just released a new version with clickable links that the first version was lacking. I apologize for not writing up a more in depth review of the many pros and cons this set of homebrew rules contains. I felt that almost 95 pages of pure content would be difficult to explain in a single post and thought letting people who were interested in a different way to play the game would be best accomplished by allowing them to see what we created on their own. Was that a bit narrow-sighted? Perhaps, but because I'm new at this kind of thing, I really wasn't aware of a "right" or "wrong" etiquette. Currently, I'm trying to make a wiki for this book that others can view and then perhaps that will give them more refined insight into what these rules have in them. As for not wanting to make any more changes, you completely misunderstand my point in releasing this to the public: we enjoy our system so much, we were excited to share our thoughts and idea on the net, but currently none of us has much time to continually check forums for comments and make alterations to our book. All of us have children and meet up, if we're lucky, once every two weeks, so between a heavy 6-day work week, kids, bills, and wives, this is not high on our priority list.
