Poll results

OK, so the poll has closed and the results are in. The most popular preference was for a combination of story and actual game detail, followed by people who prefer straight narrative.

I will be working on a format that allows readers to follow the story without being too interrupted by game details, but making sure those details are available for people who want to see them. I have not entirely decided how I am going to do this yet - I may even just resort to using different colours for the narrative and gaming aspects of it, so people can skip a particular colour if they want to. This would, in effect, address all 3 criteria on the poll. However the emphasis will still remain on producing a proper story from the game.

Hopefully I will get a chance to have a bash at this method sooner rather than later.

Thanks to all who responded to the poll.

Poll: Battle Reports

OK, as I alluded to at the bottom of my previous post, I have added a poll on the top right of the page, asking people what sort of battle reports they want to read. This has come about because I figure there is not much point putting together an elaborate report when readers would really prefer it was approached in a different way.

I understand that the same style will not suit everyone, but if there is a clear majority then this will make it easier for me to give you what you want.

If you have any particular suggestions or feedback, you can always just respond to this post with comments. For instance, if your vote is dependent upon particular conditions (such as you only want a players' perspective report when the players are worth listening to), you can let me know here.

The poll closes in a week, by which time we should already have played another report game - so I will be able to get on with delivering it in a way that people want to see it...
