Pledge: now that summer season here in the north will be soon over, I will again become more active with painting hobby. In fact did a bit already as I was unable to exercise due to minor injury.

Not worth it. The only exception is if rules writing is the part of the hobby you most enjoy, then of course.

There’s plenty of good rulesets out there, rather spend your time playing more. Hardly ever the rules have gotten in the way enjoying a game for me. It’s much more about the table, the forces, scenario and of course company. Unfortunately gaming companies fall into this tinkering trap too, publishing new editions completely unnecessarily (leaving aside the commercial reasons, which mainly applies to that one company only).
