There is no such thing as "common sense" when it comes to games.
And I mean that in the purest form of the phrase of everyone having a "common/shared sense" of how something should be or go.
Thanks for the response; and i do understand the approach you take towards expansion;
Being a bit pragmatic, long time war gamer, errata was always a sure thing, at times before I started a game I waited for the errata.
I also believe any enterprise taking on the challenge of expanding a game should take errata on. Not pleasing everyone isn't going to happen even if you think you've made the perfect unit.
Sorry but to me its just a crutch. I've always given the Sea God decks more credence because its a Team effort not just one persons ideas; and with its growth more Forum input.
To me the Teams are setting a new standard with every new card, new SA, new value so whats really the difference we take it or leave it anyway.
We know what works; what doesn't; what best for game play; whats not, we know when something is way out of line and as it gets closer to inline; if you have a problem call it quibbling. Happens here all the time.
The way you do and see expansion is fine its works well for you, just saying if I was at the Helm it would be Damn the Torpedo's Full Speed Ahead we're fixing the good bad cards.
Being somewhat pragmatic myself, we effectively are "fixing" the worst offenders gradually. But I think doing it without stepping directly on a WotC card does it without angering a lot of people. It also helps prevent confusion over card versions, and reduces the perception the game is busted. You may not have a problem with errata, but a lot of gamers do. RB put together a team of volunteers to errata a bunch of early Land Game cards. It was a disaster. Mainstream gamers did not want the hassle of printing off custom cards and debating their use with other players. The project just signalled to a lot of players that the game was busted as produced. We were very aware of that failure when we started this. I have one player in my group that particularly hates card erratas for this game. And he plays a lot of games! One of its big attractions was simplicity and few errata. I think we should do our best to at least try to maintain that. At least not go out of our way to make it unnecessarily complex when we don't have to.
