I like this idea - as mentioned in the big email I'll work on it (it won;t
be quick to get something I am afraid), and get back to you all in the near
future.
Incidentially it was not, nor is it,my intention to have a go at players - I
generally find that players who put effort into a game enjoy the game more -
so conversely those that don't don't have such a good time which is to my
gaming maniac mind, a shame. I understand that many players play at
different levels of commitment (I for one have had to drop a game that I was
dying to play due to that sad thing called a "Real Life" most annoying). and
I can only hope that we can cater to all levels of interest.

We have tried to ask the players what they would like
to see that way and so far got one return of ideas out of 250 ME players
that is extremely poor.I'm not sure I like this repeated whinge about the players here.
I commented at the time, but I don't think I'm the one in two fifty. I
seem to remember being told that this couldn't be done, that couldn't be
done. So I gave up at that point. Your problem Clint was that you
asked for ideas, but then didn't make it clear as to whether or not the
GM was prepared to study the position in order to make an intelligent SS
turn.For a TURN ONE SS turn, it strikes me that you have a very simple and
obvious solution - next time you have a turn one in any game (or one
where you have experienced players) keep all the turns on file and ask
the players if you can use them as "default turn ones". You could
actually keep a selection, so that if a FiK 1650 misses his turn, you go
to the appropriate folder and pluck at random a FiK 1650 turn one order
sheet. Doesn't work for 4th Age of course.Regards,
