Re: Variant Game Bank (was RE: [DipKnights] New Game and Alpha Variant)

The Variant Bank is supposed to be an independent source of variants,
that were designed and played in any acceptable format (FtF, email,
juge, web etc.) 

What exactly is the gap that you're thinkling that a Cat23 variant Bank
would fulfill? There's a lively DVWorkshop group on Yahoo that seems to
be where most of the variant designers are - does Cat23 need its own
really?
