Age of Sigmar

[Phoenixguard09]

I have well and truly fallen out of the hobby, something I never thought would actually happen. 8th ed shook me, and I stubbornly clung to 7th like a drowning man, but this new direction the fluff has taken is too much for me.

I refuse to give Games Workshop any more of my hard earned cash.

Have you considered getting into more skirmish gaming? There are some nice settings out there.

[Phoenixguard09]

Between cash constraints and a lack of settings which capture me in the same way, no I have not really. It's a pity, but that's the way it is.

[Jubal]

Is fair enough. I'm not doing much gaming at all; I got to the Uni's tabletop society sometimes but mostly end up boardgaming rather than anything else.

[Phoenixguard09]

Yeah, I'm getting my gaming fix from the 3 Coins sessions, which are a surprising amount of work to organise, run and then recap.

Back on topic though, I don't think I will ever reconcile with this new direction.

[Jubal]

Yeah - Warhammer was always meant to be a bit of a mix of low and high fantasy, but it's now... so high fantasy it's getting to "arsonist on a weed farm" levels.

[Phoenixguard09]

I loved that line.

I think my biggest disappointment is with the loss of the world itself. I had a lot of time invested in the setting itself. It was a fantastic setting, but it has now been reduced to a heap of bubbles floating around...

[Jubal]

Yes - agreed!

You should check out 9th age PG.
It's pretty good. Not excellent, but it works.

I do wonder whether AoS will get more world building over time - I feel like without it they'll have difficulty keeping people coming back.
