Could we get some updated Nap. Boards. Seriously Empire has been out of print for I don't know how long. Can we get some of the more recent and popular rulesets with there own thread like Blucher, Et Sans Resultat etc?? |

Our group still plays Empire on a regular basis. There is also a sub-group that plays an Empire campaign, meeting weekly. To get "more recent and popular" rules their own Board, the normal procedure is to make a Poll Suggestion. When and if the poll is run, there is a threshold of 40 "I would support this board", and it is then set up. If you feel your preferred rules deserve their own Board, go for it! Voting to "support a Board" means that you are willing to start threads and contribute to that Board. Interestingly, voting against a Board in a Poll means nothing. Getting 40 positive votes is all that is required. So if you think your rules will get 40 votes to support it, go for it! |

BTW, if all you want is threads is there anything stopping you from starting them? |

You can also check the threads on the Rules Directory entries for those rule sets. |

Anything you want, on the Rules Forum, you can even start them yourself from the Rules Directory: TMP link |

Many play Empire including me,and seems a new version could be coming and very hopeful it will. |

I never said Empire wasn't played I said it was out of Print and those of us not lucky(HA) enough to have a copy are out of luck unless we want to buy a used copy and convince our group to do the same.( unlikely) I know I can start a TOPIC. What I want is a board dedicated to some of the new rules like Empire has. Going to the Rules directory is a fine idea except many of the newer rule systems are not listed. Why is this so difficult? I thought this was the board to discuss ideas that would improve TMP. I think this would improve TMP and make it more relevant and attract new members. |

I told you above how to get a new Board started. You have to demonstrate a need for one, and also that there is an audience. That's exactly how I got the AWI Board started. If you think that's too much work, well there you go. |

The Empire board will be exported to the Rules Forum one of these days. |

John the OFM I do not own the website. I think the need for updating this site has shown itself over the years. I think the person that finds it too much work is our much maligned Editor. Example "The Empire board will be exported to the Rules Forum one of these days." |

Some people are never happy unless they can criticize and whine about something. |

I am not whining I am making a suggestion. You know TMP has this reputation and I am beginning to see why. |
