You wouldn’t believe.

One reason for playtesting isn’t getting the mechanisms right, it’s the assumptions. It’s the things that you unthinkingly hold to be self evident, that during playtesting get rigorous questioning

Still trying to beat the Indigenous Warfare rules into shape.

I long ago discovered that I was in danger of liking a ruleset purely because it reflected back to me my unquestioned assumptions, which often came from previous rules I’d used 🙂

Then there’s shedding the baggage from other rule sets that get imported, unasked, into your playing. My first game of Twilight of the Britons involved a serious amount of imported crap. And I have a co-author credit.

That works both ways, the stuff that gets in without being invited, and the rules you don’t put in because you know what happens because that’s how you do it in three rule sets you also play 🙂
