I played in my local store's campaign. The game died before GW made it
official. Sure, there are some people who still play, as I do, with my
friends. We even made a bunch of new rules (Bunch means around 30+ pages)
What GW saw was a large boom in sales, and then a huge drop. "Hey!" they
thought. "Maybe people don't like this game!" and maybe that's why they arn't
adding anything new.

What they didn't realize is that there current target market has no attention
span. Should have thought of that. Of course, no attention span is good when
kids don't realize that the Necromunda they got bored of last year is the
same thing they're playing now, Necromorka, Gorkamunda? What is that thing
called.

Not to disrespect GorkaMorka, and certainly not to defend GW. The game looks
cool, and GW is still a money grubbin' corp. I say the designers should
retake control! Don't be slaves to the company you created! Fight the power,
Hack the Planet.

Speaking of which, I hacked (well, cracked) my way into my friend's apartment
when he thought he'd be a smart ass and not pick up the phone. Shoulda seen
his face.
