The Legends II playtest is running (the UK Legends GM at Rhann is playing
in it), positions were by invitation only.  The question is what is it like?
Steve (Rhann GM) has said he may report on it from time to time to the
UK players, but then he might not.

The other question is: What changes to the rules would you like to see?

I'll give a rule change I'd like, it's one of my pet gripes.

Problem: Spys are useless, use a Seer.
Solution: Make Spys better or limit Scry spells.

I'd like to see a combination of both, I get fed up having to spy
three times on a location to get all the info that a Seer gets
in one very low cost spell.  And the spy has to be within 5
provinces.  Perhaps you could get more info depending on how
successful the spy is, anyway why can you only spy in the 2nd phase?

I'd also like to see the Scry spells limited by range, perhaps
0.5 pts per province or something.  Also I'd like to see more initial
towns with some magic protection, the vast majority have 0.

Anybody else got pet peeves?
