I'll sign up for one or both of these games this weekend. Regarding Renaissance -- it does NOT look "basic". The rules are fairly elaborate and extensive, and I suspect the player-created content base is ten times more so. Is there any decent onboarding process for new players? It's been running for 30 YEARS and doesn't appear overly welcoming to newbies. How did you hear about it, and what made you want to sign up?
And as for Victory -- looks like something vaguely similar to Flying Buffalo's Battle Plan (which is good). Is it? It looks interesting, but also expensive. $6 per turn-sheet, and you can submit 2 per turn up until a certain point when you can submit 3. $12-$18 per turn is steep. So same question to you, Walter, what made you want to sign up for this game?
