being currently deployed in Mali, it's a bit difficult for me to update the site and even reply to personal emails, not to talk about advertising our products. Our aim is not to make money but to try to promote our common hobby.
Perhaps you should delegate such things to someone on your team who is not located in such a remote place. You have been using the "I have no internet" line for
quite some time now. And yet the LFT website does get updated in other areas. From what you say it would be impossible for you to do that, so clearly
somebody has the necessary access. I really don't understand why there should be as long a delay as there has been. (Of course, MMP has exactly the same problems in keeping their web site up-to-date, and I don't think we can blame their internet access ....)
As for the refund: that's a very kind and generous offer but completely unnecessary. I think that maybe you think it's the various errors that have put me off. Not at all; I play ASL, I can live with errata.
However, that errata has to be made available, and in something resembling a timely fashion. The v2 charts have been around now for so long that you've replaced it with a new product. (A very nice-looking new product, too, I must say, having seen some copies in use when I went to CanCon last month.) I guess that now you don't even see a need to publish the errata at all, which would be very disappointing. That's kind of a side-issue though; the real reason why
I don't find sufficient value in the Rat Charts is purely personal -- the format doesn't suit me. I have all of the original rules Charts & Tables (plus extra stuff) in a small binder that is very portable and I'm more comfortable with that than with the Rat Charts. I suspected that might be true even as I placed the order ... but I wouldn't
know until I had one in my hands (and at the time, no-one near me had one available to study). It's nothing more profound than that -- just a matter of personal taste. In a sense, I took a small gamble and it didn't pay off for me. I'm not going to cry about it. I
am going to complain about the lack of errata though until something is done about it, because that shit is
important.
