[Canadians for AOS!]

Hi Chris.

I'm Chris from Florida.  It's not Canada- but lots of Canadians vacation here!  Send them my way when they do.  I'll host a "Canadian Vacation Age of Sigmar" support group!

[Events USA: Nashcon 2 Day Event in Nashville, TN June 3-4]

@David Griffin - thanks for the PM heads up about this.

I hope your event goes well, but after reading through the packet, I have decided not to attend.

I've played enough War Machine to know that I find a 2 list format tedious and just not fun.

I don't say this to cause any strife or issues.  I just know everyone always talks about "voting with your wallet" if tournaments have things they don't like.  I just wanted to voice that at least 1 person is opting not to attend based on the decisions in the pack.

I hope everyone who does attend has fun.  May your saves be filled with 6s and your Battleshocks be filled with 1s.

If I'm being honest, this packet is overly complex.

I get that the goal is to recreate Mordheim, which I applaud in theory.  Mordheim was a fantastic game.

But the elegance of AoS lies in its simplicity.  The rules are short, sweet, and easy to remember.  I can't remember the last time I've had to reference the rule sheet during a game.  Hinterlands followed that playbook.  The changes it makes are short, simple, and easy to remember.

That feature is so incredibly important - especially in a fan supplement.  It's hard enough t o get a grouo to try an "unofficial" supplment in the first place. Indeed, I've been trying for 15 years to get my groups to try things like the Goblin Ecology lists, the War of the Beard lists - both White Dwarf addons of old - not to mention the dozen or so fan supplements I've downloaded over the years.  In all that time, the only things that they were willing to try were Warhammer Warbands amd the new Path to Glory.  I'm on the verge of them accepting Hinterlands.  But they even scoff at the notion of learning the couple front pages of that packet. 

The supplements are generally just deemed as a poor time investment - they don't want to put the time into learning a rules set that they don't view as "mainstream."  

Not unless it's simple and easy to remember without reference.
