Writing board game rule books is my dream job. Writing directions? Yes. Designing the layout? Yes. Board Games? Yes! It is so much more exciting than my normal directions.

I found the Flamecraft rulebook easy to work through with the way sections were color coded. Having the dragon and shop clarifications at the end was also easy to reference.
City of Games has a FAQ section on their website for card clarifications for The Isle of Cats. I think that works as a nice ongoing supplement to the printed rules. Not everyone uses or knows what BGG is, so having the resources on the website is great.

17:04 Teach guides, yes PLEASE! In the book, or on BGG with a line in the book to remind people to look there. This would be awesome. Set the trend!

18:55 - I wonder if making a PDF version of rule books with "everything included" could be a viable way of doing it since there would be no printing/distro costs involved. Granted there would still be layout costs, though.
