Creating Your User Manual: Part Five
Proof That Even Small Changes Matter
This past week, Jon Mollison posted a video at The Joy of Wargaming about Chainmail.
This video concerned a conversation among members of the #BROSR regarding melee in battle, specifically that this got misinterpreted and thus played wrong.
Jon’s video goes over what that is, and how a shift in language between editions made material impact upon play at the table.
It also shows the importance of competent technical writing; this would not have been an issue if the manual for the game had been properly reviewed and edited prior to publication.
