I admit, I'm a sucker for structure.

What do you guys feel about having a sticky thread, one for each theme? The idea behind this is to have a central archive for recurring theme-based discussions. A lot of good information goes lost by all these separate threads and questions/answers disappearing to page 2, 3, 4............

We could compile info on your standard lists, strength and weaknesses, Q&A, scenario play, current place in the meta, etc.

If that's your aim, I'd rather someone wrote a tactica called 'Basic guide to Khador Themes' and got that pinned. Combining them all into one would save space at the top of the page.

I'd keep it fairly simple/broad though. Things like standard lists are only temporarily useful; Vlad1 rockets was all the rage for the longest time, and now it's not played much at all. A little over half a year ago people were calling me daft for thinking Sorcha1 was a viable caster, and look at her now.

Any meta comments would get made redundant by any change in the meta; advice from before the Devourer's Host CID might not be be much use in the current climate, for example.

The more people tell me Sorscha0 is required to play jack lists, the more determined I am to never run her.

Not a big fan of the sticky thread per theme - themes are going to hang around for a long time but the discussions in the thread will either:

(1) Veer wildly all over the place, meaning we gain structure on the front page of the forum but lose it within the thread; or

(2) Stay more tightly focused, but is then not a thread for the theme as a whole.
