pagan8thSpaceballs getting a reboot seems odd to me. The original was fine at the time, but the jokes are old… as are the actors and Barf is deceased. Pizza the Hutt almost put me off pizza!
On to the other stuff.
Pledge: Paint more Mythic Battles: Pantheon… maybe…
Buy MCP X-Men Starter Set… probably…
Get some use out of the second hand digital SLR I just bought because I used to enjoy photography (but film is very expensive now)… hopefully… weather permitting.
Refresh cycles of games… when it’s necessary.
I bought a couple of Kickstarters that had 1.5 rules later (Mythic Battles: Pantheon and Endure the Stars) and only updated one (Mythic Battles) because just buying the upgrade was expensive with shipping (I eventually bought the upgrade kit on ebay). Kickstarters of games are pretty much beta tests with the first edition.
Errata on rules (RPG and other games) annoy me. The whole point of having an editor is to make sure there are no typos. When designers change a rule during the pre-production step they should make sure the changes are applied.
Continually releasing new armies, or factions, or heroes tends to break the rules, but I understand the need of game makers to churn out new stuff as they need to keep money coming in.
GW and their constant release of new rules… followed by updated faction books… then when all faction books done they redo the rules.
It would be nice if a company did one game and released everything they wanted to do… and then… done… move on to a new project. Keep printing stuff for new players of the old game so it stays in print and doesn’t end up on ebay at scalper prices.
