Well, firstly I have to say thanks for taking the time to let us know of
your views. I (unlike some others who apparently can't find their delete
keys) really appreciate hearing how others play the game. I like to receive
information from different styles of gamers. I especially like to get the
insights that experienced gamers (both with and without SR) can give. One
of the best things about this list is it's diversity (on most issues, the EI
excepted :-)) - the differences between peoples opinions, their games, their
styles of gaming, and so forth. As TC says, if everyone was the same, and
we were all cut from the same mould, then things would be extremely boring
indeed. I can sympathise with those who get sick of ongoing threads (I do
too quite often), but one has to take the good with the bad, and often by
the end of such threads, quite good quality summaries are produced on very
touchy topics. Besides, mail filters and kill files can be wonderful
things. Anyway, also kudos to TC too for (fairly) nicely expressing his
views. Even though I may not agree with them all the time, I still like to
hear them.
Anyways, you mention that you have various house rules for some of the more
"unrealistic" SR rules. Many of these are also things I find troublesome
(such as the 'dodging' rules, grenade damage, autofire, and so on), and I
was wondering if you have the rules in electronic form? And if you do,
might you be able to post them? Or perhaps have them placed on a WWW site
or FTP site? Thanks.
