Welcome to EGG 15! This is an important EGG for me since it looks like it will be a good introductory book for referees wanting to run MGs at conventions. As one letter put it, it is hard to run a game you have never seen run. This is true. So this issue the articles are directed at teaching the rules to you by describing how to teach them to convention players. Hopefully this will work like the medical doctor's teaching method - see one, do one, teach one. Next month I am going to take a week off from work and do some serious writing on getting a military campaign matrix game product written and produced. This game will not only act as a beginners game (ala The Swashbucklers) but will also be a resource for campaign referees both for convention and club games. This game should prove to be more versitile than The Swashbucklers and may be the game to push toward a larger market. We will see. Included in this issue are three different people's views on MGs. This is a first for EGG. Due mainly to exposure at conventions people are trying out these ideas on their own. As always when other start following a path, new perspectives are described. I for one am excited by the different out looks. Howard's ideas have already helped me solve a problem I was having in making a generic political MG. Hopefully the variety of views on "how to do it" will make understanding the matrix idea more easy.
