When I saw Ritterkriegs vid on CDG yesterday, I said damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead and spend the money for Dan's Opus. Hopefully I'll get it next week or there abouts and maybe have it on the table soon enough. Just have to one day cut back on GM'ing these two awesome modules Masks of Nyarlathotep and The Two-Headed Serpent:

You are so right Carl, without each other, nothing of any real value gets done, but with a fine group working in the same direction, fine products can result, Vic.

I'll make sure my collection of games and books is distributed amongst my hobby friends and local tournaments... Vic.

I just divested myself of a LOT of my things before my move to Germany. Some I "sold" in a blind auction where the winner donated the winning bid to Wounded Warriors in their own name, sent me a copy of the receipt, and I sent them the item or items they won on my own shipping cost. Raised over $2K for that. I had a lot of other games I gave to a friend in need. I gave away a lot of my posters and other ASL chachki. The most liberating thing I did was send all of the old scenario cards and such to be recycled. I have them all PDF'd. I don't need the hard copies any more. It was honestly very liberating for me. -- jim

I have a different view but hear where you are coming from, I just would want to find a good home for all my stuff after I'm gone, my friends deserve it for all they have done for me, Vic.

My sons will divvy it up. First pick decided by a dr. Then alternates between them. If they pick ASL they get a lot. C&C. Ancients gets all the expansions. I’ll be a Mote in God’s Eye at that point.

After a quick skim through the box, I had a query about the Dinant map ... I looked for a comment in the DN rules but couldn't see anything ... why does that little village in the middle of the map have a mix of buildings in different colours? I mean, the stone buildings are obvious, but why are there two different shades of brown for (presumably) wooden buildings?

They're painted with the lees of different grape varieties, silly.
Bruce, I assume you are speaking of the area labeled Saint Medard? Those are wooden buildings. Not sure why the shades came out differently. You are correct that the obviously stone ones are just that.

The buildings were drawn in different shades - I see it as a bit of artistic freedom.

Perhaps it is time we put those artists on lockdown. Too much monkey business.I see it as a bit of artistic freedom.

I don't remember him doing a song about putting those map artists on lockdown, but if he did he was a great forward thinker.

Now it sounds dirty
It's all good. At the end of the day all of Chuck's songs sounded alike anyway.

To heck with "artistic freedom". How many players are going to spend how much time poring through those rules pages wondering "why the heck are these buildings a different colour to those buildings"? (And make no mistake, we're not talking a "subtle shading difference" here.) What a mind-bogglingly stupid idea (whoever's idea it was). If you're going to do idiotic things like that then FFS explain your idiocy to the people who are buying the module. For stupidity it's right up there with "let's not include overlays so people can't play the scenarios that require those overlays"* and "let's give some counters special-coloured IDs and not explain why". I love the CdG2 package overall but honestly MMP must have collectively been drunk or high during some important planning meetings for this one. Proof-readers might have to take some of the blame, too, for apparently not asking what are clearly very obvious questions (unless the questions were asked and they were ignored).The buildings were drawn in different shades - I see it as a bit of artistic freedom.
* [which of course is combined with the Tapio-worthy idea of "they're essential, so we'll charge extra for them -- and here's the best bit -- we don't even know when we'll bother to make them available"]

That song wasn't written by Chuck Berry, although it was covered by him.
