As most of you know, some in the community were disappointed with Days of Wonder’s release of a couple of expansions for their Commands & Colors (C&C) games before they headed off to GenCon. Within 10 days of the outcry summarized in this thread, DoW announced the complete sale of all things BattleLore to Fantasy Flight Games. While shocking nearly everyone, most seemed to think this was a good thing. However, concerns linger over the direction of the game and what an FFG BattleLore might look like.

I do not claim to speak for the majority of the BattleLore community, so I would like the community to speak for itself. This is the only C&C game that I followed from the first hyped press release to the inception through the mixture of expansions and continued to hang with until last week’s announcement of the sale. I plan to follow it over to FFG and do what I can as a fan to help promote it through this transition and alleged rebirth. While this is not my favorite title in the series (though I still rank it high), it is the one I feel closest to in watching the development.

What this GeekList attempts to accomplish is give FFG what I feel have been the hot topics of the BattleLore community and show what the community in general wants done with these topics. Different issues have different priorities for me and what I expect to happen in each topic is my own opinion.

What I hope the BattleLore community will do is help by expressing to FFG how important these issues are to them:

1) By thumbing the entry topics to show importance/priority,
2) By selecting their preferred result by voting in the poll, and
3) By adding their own entry topics to include topics I overlooked.

I attempted to capture what I felt are most people’s range of answers but unfortunately will not be able to add more answer options in my polls.

Please respect everyone’s opinions on this list. It is not meant to start a flame war or lengthy debates on what is the right or wrong path for BattleLore. It is meant to showcase the variety of possibilities that is out there for the system and collect our opinions in one thread for FFG. Remember, they probably haven’t had the chance to ride the roller coaster of the past 2 years and read all our thoughts before. Let's try to gather them all here so nothing gets missed.

Thank you for your participation,

EDIT: For some reason, the list is displaying that answers were already selected when you first open this up. As best I can tell, this is a display bug only. It is not registering any data until you actually click on the options and select "Vote." From what I gather, it has to do with the interface between GeekLists and the thread the poll was created in. (It is also not automatically refreshing the number of votes either - so you may need to toggle back and forth between Questions and Results.)

Trust me, this is not a conspiracy on my part! If it were, my answers would be winning.
