I was wondering why they were out in the street trying to hand out free samples (not a done thing around here)

do itttt

Yeah that's more or less exactly what I meant. What prompted my parentheses is that the ASTRA ARCANUM "quickstart" is simply not playable and thus I'd call it a preview

I like quickstarts - I read and play them before backing/buying whenever I can. But I actually prefer a good preview (that doesn't call itself a quickstart!!) over a rushed quickstart.
