I thank you for the answer Ian. In no way shape or for is this meant as a put down but I placed this question in the "North American" section for a reason  After all, as it has been in the past so shall it continue to be that regional areas of the world will continue to do things differently. |

I will.
Yes, sure, not all the isues will be ironed out (especially for tourney play) but it'll be fresh. Besides, little LRB changes over the years always mess things up anyway (Pro should have stayed a trait grumble, grumble) so there's always changes anyway and besides, I am a jaded coach who will enjoy something new (I do believe that way too many LRB5 changes were decided by/for jaded coaches but since it is here now, I may as well enjoy it).

I agree with Doubleskulls says. To me the tournament is a chance to play the game I love and to get together with friends, some of whom I only see at these tournaments.
I am not going to let something like a rules system get in the way of my enjoymennt of the whole tournament experience.

Nope it's ruining the game IMO!
A bunch of new assinine skills....
ok you have this skill?..... well I have this skill & combined with this trait..... ah but you also have thos 2 traits that cancle out my other trait!.... aha I have this other skill that voids that other trait, .... Wait what was I going to do again?
Ok so I'm obviously being sarcastic, but IMO its becoming too much like 2nd eddition. (too many rules, too confusing, too frustrating)
Why reinvent the wheel back to a square?
Thats why I voted no.

That's why I voted yes. 
Seriously though...it's the game that we are getting together to play...there is no real point in getting in a twist (Sorry Cam) over the rules. The rankings are misleading anyway, so the specific rules only set the context of individual tourneys. Go to have fun...if you don't like the whatever a given tourney's rule set is...don't go. Save your money/time for the tourney rules you do like and enjoy the time you spend with your friends.

I agree, LRB 5, LRB 4 or 3ed, whatever the rules good crowd of people will get me there. |

Other than the standard fix of Dirty Player I was unaware there was a laundry list of house rules. Such as? |

so what, mummies get block, thats one team at the tournament, maybe two, oh well. Its still a team where the best agility is 2 and the fastest player goes 6, I don't think it makes a huge difference.
The KO table in 4.0 is fine. The only change I've seen made is to limit the length of get the ref to d6 turns. Pitch Invasion is fixed, no more riots, blitz isn't nearly as bad. What else is there to complain about on the 4.0 KO table?
the long and short of it is that the rules of the tournament shouldn't matter, if it does, maybe you should think about why you're playing the game in the first place. Tournaments are about meeting new people, having some fun. |

Mummies and the kickoff table constitute a "laundry list of house rules"?
The kickoff table in 4.0 is fine for tournamet play. Some people adjust it for personal tournament flavor. |

There-in lies the truth and the problem. The rules of the event should almost be background noise. A beat to the rythm of the event referenced now and then to keep in time with the rest of the group. We've spent years getting 4.0 to the point where we can show up at events without even having looked at the rules and jump right in. 5.0 is now bringing those rules out of the background and putting them right in the face of everyone who wants or doesn't want to use them. After reaching almost perfect harmony we've decided to toss out the conductor and half the orchestra. Some of the new players have talent but the new conductor has suspect loyalties and is sleeping with the bosses daughter  |

Yes. Plus with LRB 5 some one may actually bring DEs to a tourney, skill selections may not be the same old boring ones always taken. If a jostling of the rules sends things into chaos please explain why tournies like the Challenge of Qermit and (gasp) Death Bowl use their own unique rules and seem to do just fine.
Never said I wouldn t attend a LRB 4 tourney. Just said I d gleefully attend an LRB 5 (because personally I think they re a big upgrade). Just as I d gleefully attend an all stunty tourney, or whatever other themed tourney happens to be within driving distance.
You can t have it both ways... saying the rules are secondary to the event and then stamping your feet about LRB 5 is a contradictory argument! |
