Current events
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference
2/1/08
--Edmiao 18:24, 28 January 2008 (MST) same old same old, present, no pizza and 6pm magic.
--Gdaze 21:22, 28 January 2008 (MST) You guys wanna hold it at my place then since Ben is gone? I have a spiffy table for gaming!
BEN: ben is NOT gone.
--Gdaze-- Oh dur, I read the 1/4/08 date, heh heh. No pizza for me this time but yes magic.
Brandon 10:30, 29 January 2008 (MST) Pizza & Magic!! Do you want to try and order pizza from that place Dieter found? I could pick it up again, but there is a job talk this Friday which would slow me down a bit.
--Matts 12:22, 29 January 2008 (MST)Definitely there. Pizza is good. Is our pack's totem Bear after all?
--Edmiao 13:54, 29 January 2008 (MST) yes it is, we decided to make our totem in the image of Gabe's mom. I thought that the most appropriate totem thus would be boar, but ben was adamant that cockroach fit the bill while Brandon's experience pulled for Rat. Deiter abstained from the Gabe's mom debate and was voting to make the totem Starbuck (vintage). So we had to settle on bear.
btw, bsg is coming back in march or something.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Edmiao 13:29, 27 January 2008 (MST)Today we heard a thump on the house which we later presumed to be a bird hitting a window. a short time later cheryl saw a squirrel running with a bird in it's mouth. apparently squirrels are carnivorous when given the chance.
Gabe: Sweet! So regarding the 40k rpg that was suppose to come out... check this out. [1]
Yup, they won't be making ANY more rpg material for 40k after Sept, no word on the fantasy aspect yet. What the fuck man?
--Matts 17:44, 29 January 2008 (MST)Cool, now I don't need to buy their really expensive 40k book and can continue to cook up my own wacky 40k RP systems!
--24.16.98.34 18:58, 29 January 2008 (MST) You mean some system you go off on a tangent for for like... 20 minutes but comes down to rolling D 8's? MWUHAHA! Well I for one think it sucks. I imagen fantasy may be next. I guess Warhammer isn't doing so hot... concentrate on novels? Fucking fantasy novels based on a game? I'm sorry but those usually blow.
Gabe: Aaaaand I didn't make it into the Jet Program... fuck.
--Jason 22:03, 29 January 2008 (MST)I just read something on this. They are certainly discontinuing the fantasy as well, and neither are because of lack of performance. In fact, the 40k rp sold out in presale and was back ordered heavily, but those got canceled. The dirt is they dont want to take away from their miniatures and related games sales. Those greedy bastards dont care one lick about consumers and what they want, they just want the skrilla.
--Gdaze 22:24, 29 January 2008 (MST) Thats what a lot of people were saying. They were all shocked because like you said, the main book sells out everywhere in like a day. Its a shame too because I really do find the WHFRP books to be of quality. Granted the skaven book and monster book had low content they were still written very well. Fucking English.
--Gdaze -- So yeah... everyone is sold out and there is no word if more copies are going to be made... what the heck man? This really sucks. I hate games workshop, I hate their money grubbing ways.
--Matts 10:47, 30 January 2008 (MST)They can go ahead and do whatever they want. As cool as the 40k universe can be, I think it needs heavy modification to be suitable for anything other than a combat game, and there's shit like Inquisitor or regular 40k for that.
FRP is something of a shame. The creative guys at GW obviously have a soft spot for it, but the bean-counters don't see any margin in it - the books take a fair amount of work to make, are relatively expensive to print, and don't encourage the purchase of way-overpriced miniatures, so the niche product goes out the window and they keep selling books to 12-year olds.
