Hi!
As far as testing it, I'd suggest you try them as they are, since much
of how it plays will remain the same. Most changes are organizational
the only real change is the new initiative rule, which is more of an
optional add-on at this point. In any event if you decide wait for me to
make a change, I'll try to do it quick, it's not really a lot to do.
Heresy has undergone a lot of changes since the first release and
scrutiny. I have streamlined it a lot and got rid of quite a few bugs.
It's always a pain to get someone set in their ways to try out a new
game, but you may find he'll like it a lot.
To tell you the truth I play Heresy with my son more than I do net epic
nowadays. It just has more chrome (suppression, morale rules that mean
something and well defined skills).
Peter

Hi,
This looks very interesting. I havnt really looked at the
Heresy rules that much, but i feel an urge to study them
more carefully coming on :) How long do you think it will
take before you have an updated version?
The only problem will be to get someone in my gaming group
to playtest with me. This will be the hardest part i guess :)
