MMP has a number of ASL-related projects that are finished or soon to be finished. Which one is most important to you?

Mark;

What does this really matter? MMP is still draging their feet on finalizing the layout contract for thier "bottle necked" ASL projects. And they have already said time and time again that our input is a moot point.

Well, we vote, but don't think it will matter much.

Most probable order is:

ASLRB Oct-Nov
Journal 6 Dec-Jan
ASLSK#2 Feb-Mar
AoO Feb-Mar
BV Mar-May

:cry:

For the hobby to flourish, the RB has to top the list. While I am functional with my annotated RB1 and I would prefer to have RB2, I voted for the hobby rather than my personal interest ... AOO. Second in line for the hobby would have to be SK2 followed by SK3. A smattering of SK scenarios in J6 and future journals would also serve to suck in ... introduce ... new players to the games multiple pleasures.

Ron, one product every two months! :surprise:

What gives you the impression that MMP could ever live up to that production schedule?

ASLRB


Personally, I'd prefer AoO, as I've got the other core modules. For new players, however, getting into ASL without the rulebook in print is a major exercise in frustration. Been there, done that a year and a half ago. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, especially those slavering ASLSK #1'ers that want more.

Looks like the poll is currently split between those who are hooked (and bought everything but AoO) and those in waiting to be hooked :)

I am sure this does not surprize too many but those pushing for the ASLRB should have at least in the back of their mind, AOO has been "on the list" for quite along time and it is still vaporware. BV is just starting its quest "on the list" . The rulebook is useless without the core products (excluding e-bay for the moment) and the support it implies.

From that perspective it is an interesting dilemma.

Well, currently giving them the benefit of the doubt and taking them at their word from here, ASLML and ConSim.:crosseye:

But, I do know where you are coming from, and can understand the rising frustration in your tone here. Between you and me, and what we knew of the status of AoO, back in Nov. 2002, we both would have bet large amounts of money that AoO would have been out for Xmas 2003. Sigh.:nervous:

The only problem is that AoO has been promised since before the last time the Rulebook was printed, that is where the frustration arises!1! :laugh:

I would suspect the only people who want this out more than us is Perry Brian and Curt.

I suspect Keith actually enjoys defending MMP on this.

I rather think that if MMP had really wanted AOO out that much then it would have been gotten out sooner. Personally, I don't think AOO had anybody at MMP who was interested in working on it.

I also dont think MMP has the playtest resources like AH did. Of course, there are alot of underhanded things MMP did to turn away veteran playtest groups too. These are not nice people to PT for.
