[Suggestion] Original archetype/series posts should be encouraged to include a summary of their playstyle in the beginning

[kevintriedge 1]

Archetype/series posts have a lot of cards to read through, and this can seem like a daunting task at first glance. By first giving a summary of what their playstyle is, the readers know what to expect and have an image of how they work together, instead of needing to first read (at least) 3-5+ cards and piece together themselves how the cards work and synergize. This is also already a thing in the Archetype Game workshop thread, and I believe this should be--while not to the point of being an iron-fist requirement--encouraged more.

Part of card design critique is being able to glean what cards do without context. Advanced cards on ycm already displayed why this isn’t a helpful idea, despite being a good one in theory.

There is no rule forbidding this, no need for one forcing it.

@Black @The Warden Would likely be better at commenting on this than I.

[Blake 312]

That’s just more restrictions for no good reason. You should be able to figure out what cards do by reading.

I think a short explanation is helpful to explaining the gist of what you’re trying to do.

Agreed with The Warden, an explanation can assist the reader with understanding what the archetype is intended to do, especially when said archetype wants to be designed to allow 2+ playstyles for more options, or the card maker asks for suggestions to better focus towards the playstyle of interest.

I don't think it's needed. I understand why it would always be helpful to add a guide to ease on the reader, but why should it be mandatory? It sounds like it'd make things more of a pain and just serve to bring down activity. Are there a lot of threads desperately lacking it?
