Instead, you are likely bringing the rulebook andat least two hardcover codices with you ... and that is if you don't want to reference something. That being said, Ilove the new digital format and above all, LOVE the quicker release schedule, which has really left all the usually complainers with only pricing to cry about, which is pretty fruitless in a hobby based on wasting money on toys. Nowall we have to do is get rid of Finecast and we are all set, haha.<br />TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-63206717615788836922013-11-10T09:17:53.534-05:002013-11-10T09:17:53.534-05:00I'm surprised your Heavy Bolter article didn&#...I'm surprised your Heavy Bolter article didn't draw them out in strength ;)Dezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794856460752007480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-4784136189427913142013-11-10T07:41:20.942-05:002013-11-10T07:41:20.942-05:00That's a great idea too (the sockets at the ta...That's a great idea too (the sockets at the tables). I teach as part of my job and when designing our class room, I had outlets put in at each table. I teach adults, so they always bring their laptops in during class. We have no cords all over anymore.

I do like rolling dice though, it's part of the gaming experience for me, like moving the miniatures. That said, fast truly random digital dice might be good for speeding up games. Perhaps plug sockets for each table will be needed for future tournaments?<br /><br />Personally I'm really enjoying 6th and the speed of releases. More varied opponents = good gaming!Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483874659853638814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-75913385315094054372013-11-10T00:22:02.445-05:002013-11-10T00:22:02.445-05:00They are legion TJ, they are legion.They are legion TJ, they are legion.Spellduckwronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562390052997011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-61227588506306409732013-11-09T16:11:38.256-05:002013-11-09T16:11:38.256-05:00An anonymous troll on the Internet?

The previous mantra of "knowing who's going to win before the dice are rolled" has gone completely out the window. I think it's great for us with disposable income but I feel sorry for those just starting the hobby.

There isn't anything like being able to flip through a book at the table and find exactly what you need without having cables running all over the place to keep your tablet charged. I had managed (until today) not to buy a single digital codex, but Codex Inquisition was just too good to pass up... Especially at $24.99!<br /><br />I really enjoyed the positive feeling of this post as opposed to the whiny cry babies that usually fill up the internet with complaints about GW's prices and the like. I agree that 6th edition has been remarkably well balanced for codexes published for it, but my poor Orks are desperately needing a new release before long. At this rate though, they'll be out before too long, which is the best part of 6th edition thus far.<br /><br />I particularly enjoyed you pointing out the fact that any decent human being wouldn't pull out a screamerstar on one of your good buddies for a casual game. The internet has built up this culture of racing to find the most broken builds for newly released codexes and its kinda disturbing... I mean, isn't this supposed to be a game...?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654226479062133617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-17907913091366960552013-11-09T08:13:15.528-05:002013-11-09T08:13:15.528-05:00I might be a dinosaur, but I don't think we...I might be a dinosaur, but I don't think we'll ever get away from the actual miniatures. I think that will be the only thing not to go away. <br />I hadn't thought of digital dice. Seems legit. I use online dice when I'm play testing ideas instead of math-hammering sometimes. <br />How come GW doesn't license a direct port of their game onto computer? That's bothered me for years. Don't get me wrong, Dawn of War was awesome, but I want to be able to practice not on a third party shareware program.<br />Thanks for the kind reply!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807431056233205147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-23729727928580479982013-11-09T08:08:24.289-05:002013-11-09T08:08:24.289-05:00What a cracking post, really enjoyed that.

GW is really stepping up to the plate and moving the business forward with digital downloads, and it recognises that whatever your business model people are not going to wait around for years for new releases. Now that most films, TV shows and music is instantly available through things like i-Tunes, people expect that all other sectors will catch up. I think the way we game is changing rapidly and your vision for the future in the last paragraph is not far off.<br /><br />Where does it end, in fifty years time? Electronic dice, anyone? When does it stop being a wargame and start being a computer game? Discuss.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
