Just something for us to decide about this board.

Should it be used, like the army list boards, as discussing possible changes or amendments to the core rules, or it should be used to discuss how the rules work as well?

I think that it would be best to use this board only to discuss changes and amendments, and have actual rules questions, i.e. 'how does rule x work?', or 'I don't understand rule y', posted in the main NetEpic board. This would also be consistent with the army list boards, which are currently used to discuss amendments, changes, and typos/errors.

What do the rest of you think?

If this "NetEpic Core" board is intended to be just for discussions about possible rule changes, then shouldn't it be a sub-board of the "NetEpic Platinum" board? To me, being placed where it is currently says that it is intended for all questions related to the Core Rules in any way.

I think that a review of all the boards that have been created would be a very good idea, as I think that we've ended up with too many. A proposed restructuring could go a little like this:

Net Epic - This is the main board which should be used for all rules questions, general questions/discussion, tactics, and army lists.

Because there are fewer players for NetEpic than EA, I don't think that separate boards for tactics and army lists can be justified.

Net Epic Core Rules Amendments, Changes, and Updates - This is a child board for discussion of possible changes to the core rules. These would be minor to clear up ambiguous wording or fix errors in the book. Major rule changes would belong in......

Net Epic Alternative Rules (Could rename this Net Epic Platinum or Net Epic Rules Development) - This is a child board for major changes or reworking of the NetEpic rules.

Note that I think that we need to merge the Platinum and Alternative Rules boards. Having two boards for development of rules outside of Gold seems a bit over the top to me, unless I'm missing something. If I am, please say so .

Net Epic Army List Development - This is a child board for development of Gold, Platinum, and Alternative army lists. Please tag your topic as either [Gold], [Platinum], or [Alternative]. Note that Gold lists are fixed for the most part, so only mistakes, ambiguous wording, or minor changes should be discussed in relation to these lists.

There isn't enough activity to justify a separate child board for every army list.

Net Epic Battle Reports and Net Epic Background - These would remain as they are.

Finally, The EpiCentre board seems dead, could that just be archived?

I disagree in part. In my view, the Army Lists do deserve their own board. They probably do not each need their own child board however. Having all of the individual threads, so long as they are clearly named, in the same board should be sufficient.

Similarly, the Alternative Rules and the Platinum boards should not be merged, as they have different purposes. The Platinum board is specifically for the development of Platinum, whereas the Alternate Rules one is for development of rules and systems that can be used with either Gold or Platinum or even with neither (IE Evolution).

That's exactly what I was suggesting, isn't it? What I was outlining above was for army lists to have their own board for development with appropriate tags. The main NetEpic board can be used for posting army lists for review though. That way we keep development and other changes to the list separate from everything else, which is what you're indicating you would like. Or have I misunderstood what you're saying?

Because there are fewer players for NetEpic than EA, I don't think that separate boards for tactics and army lists can be justified.
