[Freelance Traveller] Seeking Assistance: Proposed Column

[FreeTrav]

The column would be titled "Run and Find Out", and is intended to be a place where players or referees could ask questions about The Rules - in any incarnation - and get answers based on what has actually worked for others in actual play.

First: Would there be any actual interest in such a column?

Second: Would anyone here be willing to commit to being a source of answers for the column?

Third: Does anyone have any 'seed' questions for it?

1 Yes I suspect there would be a lot of uses for it, do you intend to condense the answers into an FAQ sort of thing?

2 Erm.....

3. Well just from this forum we have had life support costs breakdown and how to do spot rolls in combat in the last week

It's nice of you to want to do this but
1) Personally I think the web site forums handle this quite well. The forums give a faster response than a periodical. There will probably be multiple opinions, which is good because you can pick the one that suits best. There is also a chance to discuss things to get a more thorough understanding.
2) Unless it is Mark himself or someone like mongoose answering the questions....
3) Search the "The Rulesmasters" section on this site for unanswered questions

Captain Jonah mentioned a FAQ. Don't know if you can get or even need permission, but a nicely organized faq built from questions and answers on the forums would be something.
