…I had heard there was a FB group, but I am not on FB so haven’t looked. Is it good/active?

The quality is good – the posts are all relevant and stick within the themes but neither group is that busy:

• The general rule sets have had 9 posts (plus comments) in the last two months
• The OHW rules have had 15 posts (plus comments) in the same timeframe but three of these were painting examples.

Both groups have variations /new period rules in the file section and TBH they remind me of here rather than the rest of FB.

Neither group suffer from random posters putting spam on them but the new ‘AI’ spam detection does tie up posts for moderation all over so new items are delayed often!

I just created a link in Safari to the groups page and rarely dive into the main FB site – this worked great till FB ‘improved‘ the group view a few weeks ago by giving me posts I have zero interest in and not showing things in time order so I am afraid FB itself is a pain.

Honestly you are not missing much other than seeing folk play the same rules and a way to discuss your games with 3.4K members (no idea on duplicates in that number or active viewers though – way less going by the posters you see regularly).
