I just read your call for players. I like the Rhine tribunal. I like Coll. But your request for players contains a long wall of requirements, all of which are relevant, that personally deters me from reading and following up (because I'm already in a campaign, I don't troll that part of the forum, either ). Also it's only been two days; making a decision on a weekly commitment is challenging for me
. Maybe others have similar constraints. Finally, a total of 12 players expecting more newbs when you already have 3 newbs is a tall order, IMHO (but maybe I mistake your "new" player recruitment(?)).
If you've followed ArM 6th discussion, you'll notice that recruitment of newbs is a particular concern with specific barriers. I think when recruiting new players to ArM5, those barriers need to be reduced as much as possible, which in my mind implies fewer options and fewer rules, mechanical or otherwise.
