Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously, though, never heard of it. Sounds suspicious, anyway. Why PowerPoint? Not the best way to communicate detailed information. But I'd be curious to know what was in it…

Well, clearly it's not official and looks Home made. The disc shown is CD-R. And CD cover 'art' looks like it's been done in Publisher or similar. My advice would be to avoid like the plague and be much happier for the guides and advice available here.

Wow, just.... wow....
The guy seems to be unaware that PowerPoint files can be compiled to run without having PowerPoint installed. So you're getting a (probably unprotected) PPT file with between 32 and 35 slides. The only saving grace is that shipping is built into the cost of the item
I'm sure we could easily produce our own Advanced Strategy Guide right here and make it available for free. Maybe as part of the user content that Matt was talking about for future versions of the CAR?

I know it's a little hard to find (improving this will be part of our site updates), but we already have a pretty darn good strategy guide in our articles section on the home page: clicky |

And a very good startegy guide it is too. I like David's work. Makes for some interesting reading.

That's exactly the sort of thing the expanded CAR should include… We'll have to talk to David about including it. |

Won't that make the CAR even bigger?
Also, it's something I'd like to read once maybe, but not to have handy in a game as a reference guide like the CAR.
I'd prefer if it were a separate document, but updated in the same manner as the CAR.

I thought about that, but multiple documents would be a pain. My view is that the Incorporated/Depreciated section should come out of the CAR and moved to the FAQ. It's too academic. That would make some space… But I also think that the CAR would work well with a variety of things supplementing the rules. A strategy section would make it more rounded, just as a guide to setting up would. Also, think of the Introduction I added last time—it won't be read often, but it's useful to have there. I wouldn't want too much strategy in there, but some would be a good thing… |
