Yeah, the main thing GW has had going for it for years has been the rich
background. The reason why I got into WH40K:RT and WFBIII (to a lesser
extent) was the nice, dark storyline. The games were at least as
colorful (not to say cheerful) as they were good games. But now GW seems
to have lost the feel (heck, there aren't even any cheesy heavy metal
bands advertized in the WDs these days). As a result, I have been running
around independent game & hobby shops and scanning all sorts of newsgroups
to get the good stuff from years past. I took a couple years off and when
I came back, things went downhill. Ick. I like the od games but don't
want to put too much $ into it as I am afraid of losing players (as Sauron1
seems to have). Double ick.
