The scenarios I turn in are fun to play! I like to complete battles/wars, that is why Saipan will have Tinian & Guam to follow it up and complete the whole Mariana Island Campaign and the Pusan Perimeter will be followed up with two more games and a supplement to complete the whole Korean War. I like to complete things but trust me for the hundreds of hours of work for EACH game designed, getting one free game copy and your name on a box isn't worth it if the gamers don't enjoy playing your game designs. So my goal is to make sure they do enjoy them. I do enjoy telling the history of the battles however and think by gaming them we are not forgetting the memories of the battles and men who fought them.
Away I am looking forward to not only to my designs being published but all the others as well. I know I have some really good products coming out but I'll let the gamers here decide for themselves.
Jay,
I am sure nobody is doubting your good intent. In fact, not even the part about "designers rating their own" is about YOU.
Its about the subject per se.
I would like you to write all you can on each of your plays because I read AAR's. I simply choose to ignore yours and any other designer ratings for reasons explained above. In fact, I am pretty sure that if you were not 'forced' to rate your own scenarios by way the HQ AAR system works, you'd happily write up all of your plays and scenarios 'view from the designer'. Seems a shame this is holding you back.
