    ### Start of shameless copy and paste ###

    First time visitor to OTT? Then please introduce yourself in the New Member Thread and look around in the Project System. Then come back and read on…

    Read all of this before you start as it will save you any trouble later.

    First thing you must do is make your “pledge”. It can be anything gaming related, big or small, and you don’t even have to finish it. No, in here, happiness is the road. Have fun doing whatever it is, but it is not a race. Accompany your work with pictures or we might think you are do something sinister and just using us for cover.

    You are also presented with a few questions. It is to get the conversation started. Try and keep your answers ‘conversational’, no text speak, and certainly no “basically”. This is how we all get to know each other better. While you are here feel free to tell us a story, show a picture, joke, tales of love or woe, or just add your own little bit. This is the whole point…in here it is just us.

    If you have never taken part before we may bark and bite, but we also like a cuddle! It is all done in the best possible taste and it is character building. feel free to give as good as you get.

    A few other things to note: NO RELIGION & NO POLITICS! Glasgow pub rules are in effect. If you need to make a better point then it is fine, but don’t take the piss. And always keep it civil. This includes no philosophy, no home computer culture wars.

    Play plenty of music to go with your work. Loud and through proper speakers. Write us a playlist of things we might not have heard before.

    Now, after all of that there is only one ‘real’ rule in here and it cannot be broken: NO DICKS! (Exceptions may be made for little fighting men with little plastic/resin/metal wieners)

    And don’t forget the highlights of the weekend: The Weekender on Friday and XLBS on Sunday. And the little show that is The Hobby Hangout over at twitch.tv

    If you fancy to see some nice WIP pictures go to the WAYPN thread https://www.ontabletop.com/forums/topic/what-are-you-painting-now-2025-edition/

    ### End of shameless copy and paste ###

    Question of the week:

    • A company does a new edition of your favourite miniature game and “kills” a sh*t load of your lovingly collected and painted units and minis. What is your reaction?

    And now back to the show.

    Pledge: paint more MAWM [witness me!]

    Answer: Aside from The Emperor and his guard in SW:L nothing like that has happened to me yet. I might be really annoyed. But at the same time I don’t play tournaments any more so why bother with a new edition.

    No music today, the daughter still sleeps. Bloody teenagers and their long sleeping in!

    Oooh … easy answer this week.

    (1) I stop giving a damn about whatever comes next from that company
    (2 a) not buy the new version so you can keep using your army
    or
    (2 b)  learn to improvise, adapt and overcome the ‘missing’ rules

    It’s not like the new version used a 100% new engine that completely re-invented the stats for units.

    Such disregard for existing addicts *eh* customers can only mean that they’re going to do it again in the future unless the new version is a catastrophic commercial failure.

    Your best bet is to find a company that hasn’t done that yet or learn to predict these rug pulls.

    It’s at times like this that you have to remember one critical aspect of this hobby :
    It is your game and your hobby the moment you get those toys.
    There is not a single thing any company can do about that.
    It is why we have to avoid app-driven games like the plague they are, unless the apps are open to modification by us as customers.
