I agree that cards should do what they say; however, I disagree that cards should be written less-simply than they need to in order to confirm something that is already a rule.
Who is to say that, in the future, someone won't want to create a Tale event that is playable in the regroup phase?
My point is, there was no confusion with events as it is meant to play any Tale in the regroup phase--even regroup events that are tales (of which none yet exist). There is already precedent to the card as I wrote it (
Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled) which is written just fine and the CRD is a resource to confirm, "No, you can't play
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom in the regroup phase."
