Holy crap I won something.

Ah – the chair stress test? As a large chap myself I know the perils!

It’s been a while since the ‘inclusive’ discussion Warren initiated kicked off. This week – sexism… A senior female executive leading a big player such as GW would be a great message to the world. Here’s a few statements to trigger matters: – Joel (from Anvil) commented in the weekender about their depiction of females in mini form. He alluded to other manufacturer’s unrealistic (and dare I say mediterranean mysogenistic) depiction of female minis. Having just showed my new Op:Ice models to my daughter I felt slightly uncomfortable. – There are lots of stories in the press of online female… Read more »

What’s this on the MYth delay.
Last news from megacon is that it cleared customs and is on it’s way to delivery would start monday.

Is there a new delay or was this the delay you where talking about?

So? Warren you are suggesting a tabletop version of Calvinball? (Calvin and Hobbles fans will understand, but essentially each player changes the rules on the fly). I am severely disappointed with GW rebranding, Black background with white letters and serif on top of that? it feels more like a newspaper than a wargaming store, good observation that they have burned their brands goodwill and now try to use the relatively untarnished and better known Warhammer brand forward, but also well spotted that it will end up the same if they do not change their tactics, of course this will only… Read more »

My weekend is now complete thank you

Does the re-branding mean they will be moving even more to only pushing Warhammer & 40K? We know they are more and more reluctant to support their smaller games. I’d like to see (and I know this will never happen!) Games Workshop using the advantage of their “bricks and mortar” stores to stock games from other manufacturers. Imagine going into a Games Workshop store and seeing Warhammer, 40K, Bolt Action, FoW and others. Surely that would bring more people in. It’s not unprecedented in the industry, we see Warlord stocking some Perry and Perry stocking Blitzkrieg. Once again I KNOW… Read more »

One mechanic I’d throw into any Franken-Game? Three words: Sustained Fire Dice. One of the elements of 2nd Edition 40k & 1st Edition Necromunda that was immensly tense, especially in Necromunda where sustained fire weapons were hideously expensive and jamming could **** up your whole plan, and in 40k if you had Assault Cannon, where rolling three jams meant you exploded. Hilarious when paired with the old rules for the Cyclone Missile Launcher on a Wolf Guard as exploding could potentially mean your remaining payload (you only had twelve shots total originally) either all fired off in one humongous salvo,… Read more »

happy sunday, even if I am a bit late to the party….

Whatever the latest state of play with the Myth omnishambles, predictably they’ve not condescended to let us backers know.

Treat your customers like this, you lose customers. I’ll not be giving Megacon another penny ever again.

Great show again guys thanks.

I think the thing I would switch into other games without hesitation is the Bolt Action order dice mechanic. Apart from infinity, which is a bit too complex in its turn construction to do it and due to ARO’s doesn’t really need it, all the games I play, from 2nd edition 40k and above, would benefit from that sort of variation in turns.
