New to PG

[Shad]

Welcome!

I am from Southwest Virginia. I think I'd enjoy sitting in on a game and watching how it is played. Usually when I want to learn a game I'll watch a YT video, but YT videos on PG are fairly limited. If it were ASL I'd have all kinds of videos to watch. haha.

We have a lot of members in the Virginia area. I used to live out there, did my bachelor's degree in Lexington. Lovely country.

Thanks for the advice. I guess daunting isn't the correct word. It's more something different. I am traditionally a PC gamer so the rules are all handled within the game itself. I lost interest in video gaming so I want to take up wargaming so myself and a friend will have something to do besides MtG.

The PG rules are repetitive and a bit wordy. If they were strictly boiled down so no concepts are repeated elsewhere I bet we could knock 40% of the length off. That would inevitably lead to more questions though.

I also started with PC gaming and took up wargaming after needing something different. The tactile component is what I enjoy most.

As for VASSAL, progress is being made (slowly) on that front, but it will be awhile yet I fear. The series owner fears and does not understand modern technology, frankly.
