After a few weeks of putting this thing together into a cohesive format, I present the first set of organized play rules for anyone that wants to run RRT events. Everything you need is contained in this packet to run events smoothly. Click on the link to download it and get started. www.dropbox.com/sh/wgj4zw8uj3sf3r1/AAC__UfAKiMrQ2vJUwmgy-LUa?dl=0I will be posting a League Packet at some point as well. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. |

I took a quick look at this last night: very well done, looks very coherent and official.
This is an element I am a little concerned with: this is a fan made packet to help with organized play correct?
I would suggest updating the document to make it very clear that this is not a Palladium endorsed document.
I saw someone already commenting on the Kickstarter page to this effect of your posting on the Palladium site.
palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=150356#p2904631 I would not actively discourage any efforts to help improve the RRT experience, I just would hate for you or us to run afoul of PB protecting their IP. Please let us know if you update. Thanks! |

I don't see how they can stop me from making a rules packet for organized play. They could probably make me remove the artwork and that's about it (which I would if asked to). Ultimately with any wargame...the game designers have no say in how people choose to run events/ tournaments with their game. Additionally, they'd be stupid to do so since these kinds of things are essentially free marketing for their game system. If they were smart...they'd take what I've done and make it official. Just short of gift wrapping it...I've given them a completed document that's been proof-read, vetted, and tested on a silver platter. For them not to have something like this given how long the game has been out is ridiculous. I did this in my free time in addition to all the other life/ job obligations I have. Writing it and writing the missions took about a week ...and the formatting of it..I did it in 4 days. If a staff of 5-6 people can't do it in 2-3 years...then they should take this thing and run with it and thank their lucky stars.
Soon I will be completing a League packet. That's more intensive..so may take longer.

Ask mike1975 how well giving them something "done and on a silver platter" worked out.
And this is Palladium. A company well known in the past for attempts to shut down fan sites and trying to stop people from doing something they might want to do themselves.

I again say the work is appreciated, I like it, just please add a little blurb at the beginning.
You do not have to, I just hate waste and PB does not always follow the logic you outlined.
Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your other work.

A company well known in the past for attempts to shut down fan sites and trying to stop people from doing something they might want to do themselves. Which is why I probably won't submit it. First, they probably won't accept it thinking that they can do better (which they can't). Second, if I did submit it...you know that they would change something to make it worse. Lastly, we can't depend on them for organized play. Thus, if the community gets behind this WE have control of organized play...not them. No gaming company can really control how their customers decide to organize and play their games. Like I said, if PB was smart...they would accept this document as is. However, they aren't..so they won't. But that's not going to stop the players from deciding how *they* want the organized play to be. As a comparison,40K tournaments are thriving now without GW having any say in how the events are run. The Las Vegas Open was this past weekend and drew in 40k players from as far as Australia. |

Looking forward to seeing your other work. I will not add it as there is nothing in there that they can make me remove other than the artwork. They can't stop someone for making rules for organized play. Otherwise, GW could shut down anything individuals are doing in these large events. I actually thought about removing the artwork from the document to make it generic. If the community unites and adopts it...it makes it even harder for them to do anything if this is the method a group of people have decided how they want their events to be run. |
