<< The biggest advantage of 2nd over 1st ed is clearer
description of systems, not better systems, imo.
Amen. I'm glad they took the time to clairify most of what they did.... It
helped nearly all my players understand the hows and whys of parts better
than I could explain.
>>They're not much simpler than first ed, nor really clearer (those who had
a problem with variable staging raise your hands).
Variable stageing was one of the first things I read which i really
liked....Never had a problem with it.... but then again there might be a
reason I had to explain the concept to many of my players :)
And a game written toward young teenagers prolly won't hold my interest
long, honestly. If SR3 continues in that direction I won't care for it,
even if it makes FASA richer, because I'll have watched the quality of the
game diminish, and that's why I liked SR in the first place. I don't *want*
it to be complex, but simplifying the rules further doesn't seem necessary to
me.>>
Put it on a 3rd grade reading level (what most teens today read on) and I'm
afraid FASA would Lose more buyers then they gain..... their best bet is (as
it has always been ) "word of mouth" (Which BTW is how I haerd about it when
it first came out)
