Why is no one doing a book on CHESS?
... or any of the other V&V acronym agencies?
With the other agencies (FISH, MEDUSA, GIANT, etc.), those are somewhat proprietary to the definition of their creators, not that CHESS isn't.
With CHESS, and I don't claim to speak for anyone but myself, any use or further definition through the group's mention in an adventure is fair game as an adventure device due to the organization's inclusion in the base ruleset.
And the group (CHESS) is begging for an update, imho.\
But, I think it's fair to ask: Would anyone accept
that particular update as official given all that has happened if it doesn't come from Herman or Dee? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do something, maybe certainly collaborating with some of the current writing teams, but I (again being careful to not be speaking for
anyone else) really think that no one wants to touch the material for fear of backlash.
EDIT: And I certainly want to respect the community by not going there.
My .085 sales tax. (edited because I want to be clear that I'm not trying to pick a fight, it's just the way it seems to be)
