While I am a fan of the single, updated online subscription based rulebook, it has one big problem that I fear. If my league doesn't want to change rules for a season, how do we tell new coaches which part of the book is in effect. Writing a comprehensive rulebook will be daunting to begin with. While updating it with each new thing is possible, I hope they date stamp each of the changes. Otherwise it only goes a small way to solving the problem of explaining to new coaches which rules we use.Babs wrote:Incorrect.

Please see information from Andy Hoare:
"Rulebook:
* Do you plan to collate all the rules into one document, rather than the current five places to look? (Blood Bowl rulebook, Deathzone Season one, Errata, Teams of Legend, Q&A)
AH> Yup, this is being done right now! "
The best way would be an update to the app/ebook purchase, that gets updated with each new release automatically (after all, we are in a Web 2.0 world) but we will have to wait and see how it will work.
Does that answer your question Voyagers?

Happy to be called backwards as that's what I'm doing. As long as I'm running our league we'll be using the CRP, at least until there's one book to worry about, rather than the 5+ documents there are currently.voyagers_uk wrote:you acknowledge that the current path is a mess and that people should use the LRB 6.0, however if you were faced with a bunch of potential players who want to join the league and have been attracted by the new release it does seem a bit backward to request that they use only old rules and have to keep manual recordsa for any "house rules" or experimental whims of FW.

And even then, I'll probably stick to the CRP, as I think the league/post-match changes are awful.
If that is alluding to me above, that was my own self censorBabs wrote:Mods! Seriously, stop censoring needlessly....
Exactly my issue with the new set of books and rulebooks. We will be using CRP rules until there is one source for all the rules (if this ever happens of course). After compiling the list I mentioned before and crunching numbers using the new post season system (which isn't a bad concept but for a league playing 10-12 games max) is pretty unforgiving and punishes players for wanted to keep hold of top players.Darkson wrote:Happy to be called backwards as that's what I'm doing.

1. Nope, I have no idea what you're alluding to.Babs wrote:Mods! Seriously, stop censoring needlessly. (and Darkson, you know what I'm alluding to here!)
I think it's important that we are able to complain appropriately on a forum that Andy Hoare and others actually read (ie they come to TFF to look).
This is doubly important since complaints on other avenues (such as their official facebook groups) are deleted.
I personally would like to see what Darkson wrote. I can also act as a conduit for constructive criticism back to 'where it matters'.
