As a newbie, I'd like to see step by step tutorials to explain basics. I.E..
1) Have as few counters on a map as possible, and take me step through step on how to do firing, LOS etc.
2) Show me how all the phases work.
At the end of each tutorial, I should have the basics explained in that section down, and if not, I can go back through it again till it sinks in.
So ideally this type of tutorial workbook would be broken down with the least amount of complexity. So, tutorials explaining basics - and I'm not talking about covering 10 sections of rules in one tutorial. You need to break it down and make it both readable, doable and educational, without bogging a new person down with simply Reading Chapter A, C, J etc. at the same time.
As purdyrc just mentioned, reading the rules is like reading a legal brief - which essentially says to me, what am I supposed to read next, and in what order.
Yes, I can read all the pdf's on the "getting started " page at Webdex, and I have, but it still doesn't sink in.
Heck, you guys need a guinea pig, or someone who will create a help guide for ASL, I'll do it. I've created help files for NWN Aurora Toolset - over 500 pages in length, with tons of tutorials, examples and the like all in a 7 meg download that works just like a normal Windows help file.
Thats my take on it anyways..8)
