on the back of that last post.

what kind of character do/did you play at the LT and what kind of things do you think you should be able to do?

feel free to use as many first hand examples as you want, as long as they are characetrs that you have played.

I'll keep this one public so anyone can post, but I don't allow anons on this journal. sorry.

Sounds like a good idea. Well, actually perhaps not the rulebook, because these are things which will be quite fluid, and you'd want to avoid releasing new versions of the rulebook to avoid confusion over whether the old rules were invalid. It might make more sense to have a Rulebook (with the OSP system taken into it), a Setting Book, and a How The LT Works Book.

The kicker, I think, is to make sure they're available to the players. Compare and contrast the LT, where getting hold of a rulebook took quite a lot of effort and luck (and there's confusion among players about how some rules actually work), with Profound Decisions, where every new player gets a rulebook, they're easily downloadable and I'm pretty confident they have a pile of spares behind Games Control. Also, of course, they're produced to a much higher quality. Even leaving print and binding quality aside, they're written in good English with self-commmissioned photographs and artwork rather than random clipart. I really think there's a major lesson to be learned here about presentation.
