Re: [eia] EiA rules online

Yeah, but unless I have the complete rules, how will I be able to participate in the mudslinging debates over same?
 
Besides, (1) my anal retentive nature makes me desire completeness, and (2) I might want to try out a scenario or two outside the group to familiarize myself with things.  You wouldn't want to stand in the way of my development as a prospective player, would you?
 
:D

    Hey, Tom.  Glad you've made it to the list.  Thanks for doing this for us!  It looks great!  The last 3 chapters of the rulebook are Scenarios, Campaigns, and Playtest Notes, respectively.  So you really don't need to include those.  As far as the rules of the game go, you've got everything there already.
    I wish that there were diagrams to send to you!  Unfortunately, the game designers decided not to include any pictorial examples of their rules, which I think would have helped a great deal.  (I suppose we could make some up ourselves using Cyberboard screenshots, but there are so many rules that could use an illustration, I wouldn't even know where to begin!)  So once you get the cross-linking done, that will essentially be everything.  Oh yeah, we also have some House Rules, but I no longer have the text of those, and at least 2 of the 4 are redundant with the written rules anyway.
 
Thanks again,

I've webbified that portion of the rules (up to section 12) that I currently have.  I've got the internal links for the table of contents ready, and while on vacation this next week I intend to try and get some of the cross-referencing done (see rule 4.9 for an example of what I mean).  I also want to get the table of contents done up in a little more manageable fashion.  Anyway, take a look, tell me what you think.  If anyone can forward me electronic versions of the last few sections, or point me to some graphics for various rules, I'd appreciate it.
