Captain of the Watch

Farsightedness: The Butterfly Effect states that a butterfly that flaps its wings in Malaysia could cause a typhoon in British Columbia. So too could minor variations in one part of the board affect play across the board. The Captain of Watch asesses the board for all possible impacts - both immediate and long-term.

Yeah - after I wrote the explanation I looked back and it seemed a little complicated - but once you're used to the process its really very simple. You just have to direct the RP program to use the variant files.

Once you've loaded the plug-in, you can click on and off which variants you want. Thats a good functionality. Most won't run into this problem, but at one point on my old PC I had so many variants loaded that the program bugged out on me. I think being able to turn them on and off without having to relocate the files on your hard drive is a nice feature.

Anyways, glad its working for you now. Cheers,

T.

Thanks Trout. Hadn't realized Variants configuration for the Mac would be that different from the PC version.Your comments did the trick and RP now includes the Variants I needed.
