Well, it is as simple as I implied, but I accidentally wrote "kick-off table" instead of "weather table". I did include that line specifically to account for the Winter Pitch, but then goofed.CyberedElf wrote:I'll jump in on both sides a little.
Previous editions had a lot of optional rules, in time we (as a community) got used to a basic set and considered them normal. In time this will happen again. Just growing pains, so to speak."I want to use the Winter Pitch weather table, can I?" It's not as simple as you implied.Milo wrote:"Special Play Cards are not used. Star Players available are as per CRP rules pack. All pitches use standard kick-off table results. No special referees are allowed for this event."
Agreed -- but part of my point is that this was a problem way back when when GW was putting out new rules too. We just got used to a static environment, with no changes whatsoever. That's great for tournament play, which expects stability to ensure that a 2-0 Halfling win over Necromantic TODAY is worth the same as a 2-0 Halfling win over Necromantic five years ago.CyberedElf wrote:Most of the people here know what all has come out. Expecting every TO to be aware of all GW released options for BB is a tough demand.
Not that I have any desire for GW to quit BB again, but as long as they are actively publishing new options, this concern will be a problem.
But frankly, I think it's going to be good in the long term, and for non-tournament types of play, to see what GW is putting out in the upcoming Death Zone seasons. I'm excited about it. I hope everyone else is too.
