I don't think 40k a year is some insane amount for people to raise children on.

I've known a lot of single parents that don't make more than that and live happy lives. Get your priorities straight.

what the fuck is so great about living in cali?

really?

I've heard a lot of people going into crazy debt out there. Taking on 400K loans for shitty houses.

I couldn't tell you. I don't get it.

A lot of my friends are just moving somewhere else, if I get the chance I'll probably do the same thing.

ideally, if I get my way, I will pay for a house in Mississippi that is about 40 minutes to an hour from one of the cities (Tupelo, Jackson, Memphis, the coast, etc)

BUT, I'd like to rent and work somewhere else in the country. I'd like to own a house, but I don't give a shit about owning one in cali. Work where you want to work, and retire somewhere a little slower and safer.

er back to the 40k thing. The problem with 40k is it is a huge money sink with lots of drama attached to the company. Anytime a new model/book is released it is more powerful as a rule than anything else. While most things do this, it is very bad with gamesworkshop stuff. I'd suggest warmachine (steam powered giant robots, my personal crack), heavy gear (mechs/tanks in the future!), necromundo (GW, but still good, rules are free), Malifaux (magic meets board gaming), flames of war (ww2) or anything not Warhammer related.

Unless Warhammer is the only game in town. Look around and see if anyone else plays something. My town is lucky to have several great gaming stores with free to use space for gaming and organized leagues.

My primary problem with warhammer is the lists (the army builds) are outcome determinative without regard to the players. In Warmachine give a great player a mediocre list and a bad player the best list in the world and you'll have the great player win almost every time. Least that is how i see it.

I delivered some pizzas to guys playing warhammer at a comic shop the other day. They gave me a $20 tip.

...do you think they rolled some dice to determine your tip?

They did and they crit.

Hahaha. Did you decide to play, Opaque? If the hazing you got in this thread makes you feel any better, the wife got PISSED when she found out I got the D&D 4th Ed Core Rules box set. "I didn't marry a D&D nerd. That wasn't part of the deal!"

I didn't end up playing Warhammer, no. The guy I was going to play with hasn't really played since a few weeks after this thread. I'd play a round with him anytime using his pieces, because it's fun to drink a beer and hang out, but I have no intentions to ever own my own pieces.

I have been playing Gamma World with D&D 4E rules for a month and a half now. This Wed we start our second campaign!
