Gurth; I totally agree! I mean, I haven't had the issue of player
deckers yet, but that the way I read the rules. "Here are thd dice rolls
you make, and if you want to be more decriptive...here are a few ideas of
what some things look like. But you gotta make rolls to see 'em, make rolls
to recognize them..." etc...etc...etc....
