A place to ask "stupid questions" about the game, without looking stupid.

Some would call it the fecal gravity effect, privatize profit and socialize loss.

But anyway, a tournament organizer's responsibility is to make things run smoothly and attempt to keep things as fair as possible if its a competative tourney. If that means restricting forgeworld to "friendly" or "fun" tournaments then so be it.
Cinematic.... Narrative....

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It's one (relatively apt) summary of the trickle down effect.

"Give beer to the bourgeoisie, and they will kindly provide their urine for the proletariat to drink."

I can't remember where I heard it, probably just a random econ prof.

That's what happens when someone makes a weird and incomprehensible comparison between people who don't like Forgeworld rules being used and politicians who dislike taxing socially irresponsible corporations - we'll tend to talk about whichever one is more accurately compared to urinating, apparently.

I just found the perfect image for Thunderst's comments... only too late.

If I could, I would have done this:

But I didn't. I hate when that happens.

Anyhow, back on topic:

Wraithseer FTW.

It's a sweet Wraithlord, and I think the current range Wraithlord is already quite an awesome kit.
