In response to repeated requests over on BoardGameGeek, I've been working on a series of tutorial articles to assist ASLSK players in learning the ASLSK rules. The ones that I have completed so far have proven to be very popular... even to the point of convincing people who have never seen or played ASL/ASLSK to run out and buy a Starter Kit to try it out! Whether I'll have similar success in explaining the armor rules remains to be seen.
Of course, I fully agree that the best way to learn ASL/ASLSK is to have an experienced player teach you, but this is not always practical. And even if a mentor is available, the tutorials will still allow a new player to study the rules and learn on his own time, and at his own pace, thus hopefully making the mentor's job easier.
I thought it might be appropriate to post links to these tutorials in this new ASLSK sub-forum.
I do have the ability to edit these articles, even though they have been posted for some time now, so I would be grateful for any notices of errors or suggestions for improvements.
