Re: Why not close down the Brainiac TFT forum?

Hi all,
  Edward, you are right.  I have pictures in my section of the Brainiac 
website so if a picture is wanted it can link to some other part of the 
website or to some other site.

  I do not believe that the forum at SJG allows imbedded files and the
like either.  Likely for exactly the same reason’s Joe disallows them 
here.

  Good thinking.

  Warm regards, Rick.

David, please link the pics to your website that kills two birds with one stone and get your website more hits.  I love your site by the way.  I still haven't played the bridge scenario though I have to get to it.

Thanks Rick!

I know people here are open to new things. After all we’re all gamers who really like this 30 year old game!

However, since the future of the list came up it’s got me thinking. I think the biggest barrier to me is trying to describe what a piece of terrain, or a game setup, or miniature looks like, with out posting a picture of it. It handicaps this aspect of this list, that’s all. Which means all we can really talk about are tweaks to the rules, new spells, new talents. I find that limits what this list can achieve. Most of the discussions really seem to run together here, they’re so similar.

And I’ve had this discussion in the past so I know this will never change. This list will never accept photos being posted, for a variety of reasons. Which is why I lurk here more than post. I still find what most members talk about to be of some interest. And I still hold TFT close to heart. However, most discussions get a bit too number crunchy for me. You guys really like minutia when it comes to rules. I guess I’m more of a casual gamer that likes to wow people with cool looking terrain and miniatures.

And because of this I hate to think that we’ve scared off the more creative, dungeon “craft", TFT players. That would be a shame.

So, any other members of this list have a creative flair when it comes to playing TFT? Do you play it with miniatures, stone floor printouts, model furniture, etc, similar to other "Role Playing Board Games” such as HeroQuest, Descent, and others?

Hi David,
  This list has also had some adventures posted to it and for a 
while I was posting new monsters.  If people were to have long 
discussions on miniatures or lego TFT, I certainly would not 
object, (tho I have little to say on the subject).  Someone a while
ago, had fairly long write ups on things that happened in his 
campaign some years ago.

  I don’t think that there was any rule about what should be posted 
on this site.  Rather, some stuff was of interest to people, (e.g. new
rules, new spells, new talents), and that sort of post generated the 
most responses.  Posts that get active responses are more likely to
generate more posts on similar subjects.

  Warm regards, Rick.
