    Retinues 2.0 Forge of War Development Group Foreword After the success of the First Edition of these rules we received new Retinue submissions from several gamers. This increased the overall number of retinues to a level where the rules book would have become an unwieldy volume. So the decision was made to split the rules into three volumes; the Core Rules; the Campaign Rules, and; the Retinues. This book now includes all the Retinues from the original Appendix 1 of the Rules, as well as more that were submitted after they were written. All example retinues are based on around 200 points.

  • Players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain（Paul Mason）
    A Case Study of the Influence of Fandom: How Role-players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain（Paul Mason） A Case Study of the InÀuence of Fandom: How Role- players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain Paul Mason Abstract Fandom is widely regarded as a form of excessive consumption, an essentially reactive activity. Work in the ¿eld of fan studies has drawn attention to its creative aspects, but these are still often deemed to be expanding on or embellishing the work of creative professionals. The present study explores the ambiguity of the boundary between fan creators and professional creators in order to illustrate how fans were instrumental in the creation of a new form of expression. It charts aspects of the history of computer games development in the UK, and shows how that development was driven by the interplay between fans and professionals in related ¿elds. Introduction In a basement room at a school in Britain in the early 1970s sits a strange machine. At ¿rst glance it seems to be a large typewriter, but closer inspection reveals it to be a teleprinter. It is connected to the mainframe computer of the city treasurer’s department. A schoolboy is operating the teleprinter, periodically typing in short commands, and then watching intently as the results of those commands are printed out: a grid formed of dots occasionally replaced by other symbols, with some terse accompanying text and data. The boy is playing Blake's 7, attempting to steer the spaceship Liberator and successfully defeat pursuing Federation craft. The teachers at the school are aware of student use of the computer terminal and its teleprinter, but allow it, perhaps because they are unaware that it is being used to play a game, or even because the whole concept of games using computers is so new that it has not yet been recognized as a bad thing.
