Hey all,
So, I just finished the monumental task of actually writing down everything in my head, at least as far as it pertains to the rules of my card game. I've been in an on again off again relationship with this game design/child of mine and it's honestly amazing how long i've had parts (see: whole chapters) of the rulebook only exist in my head. Today actually marks the first time since I started the project the whole rulebook has existed in writing at the same time, both a shame it took so long and a blessing its no longer the case.
I've opted to use a wiki style site for my rules hosting since I think that style of paginated rules works well for a CCG style game. You can find the rules site at www.siegescg.com/rules
If any of you are willing compatriots, I'm asking for some feedback on any or all of it. The short and easy stuff is layout and readability. I've been staring at the dang templates for so long i'm numb to them so getting some outside eyes on it might be helpful. If you are a real glutton for punishment and want to actually read the words I wrote, then feedback on the game is more than welcome.
My goal with the rules was to be a nice mix of strictly formal rules and something more towards the "okay I can read this" side of the spectrum.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Proof reading my own work never works. It seems like by brain caches whatever I type so when I read it over for errors it always looks right.
I almost always have to print out my work and edit with pen and paper, which isn't practical for this amount of material. i'm actually recruiting some peers to help me with it, so it's own my "to doing now" list.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it went over most well for you.
