Who is PSC ?  Is that Simon? Is that his company?

I suppose you are Joking

I didn’t know that “Simon is PSC” as you say.

Digital version would nice. Then if people want a hard copy they can indie print. Worked well for ReG

PSC is interested now is a question of : do people want it ? if yes you can tell them or tell Simon who is PSC

Simon is most definitely NOT PSC, just as Warwick Kinrade (who's rules they also publish and sell) is also not PSC.  Simon has a business arrangement with PSC regarding the sale / distribution of MeG related goods but PSC is PSC.  It's a bit like saying that the guy that supplies the buns to Burger King is Burger King, clearly he's not.

Ok if you want to ... just know that Simon AND PSC are very positive regarding a digital version. So now can we stop beickering about the huge involvement and cooperation between Simon and PSC who work together on MEG and other projects !

The question is : when do we get a digital version, such a simple thing to do

Turns out it isn't quite as straight forward as you might expect, plus some other factors. I'm sure Simon will expand on this at some point.

There is a difference between starting digital and switching from analogue to digital.

Sort of this - although we're not quite talking about pen and paper documents thankfully  ;D

Those with good memories may recall some of the issues Simon had with files disappearing with somebody - that has a knock on effect it turns out  :(

Of course, should the players wish to pay for the volunteer time on MeG projects such as this I'm sure we could come up with an acceptable (to the volunteers) hourly rate ...  8)  ;D
