• I don't not every game needs to have deep lore Some people just want to play fun games Some people want to take the lore from game a and bring it into a game B where they like the rules better
• lore is interchangeable so you know one of my favorite games out there is space weirdos it has literally no lore it's fine I make up lore on the Fly
• I like the fact that they're giving you options to play with the models you already have without having to go through and go geez I don't know what are they trying to get a point like what is this again you're like well these guys are supposed to be tyranids oh well it didn't come across as tyranids or whatever I have a whole bunch of tyranids and so I should use this
• the rules are generic not the lore
• Are they officially model agnostic I mean sure yeah you can use whatever ever models you want I mean to be fair every game is officially model agnostic even if they don't say it is it is
• I just don't like moving them in a chunk I like being able to move them separately I don't like that that just here's a thing and the the type of play where it's like well this part has to wheel over and do this and then then you're attacking from a flank
• rivenstone is the game that you're talking about
• the problem is this well it's not the problem here's the most recent answer they still haven't produced the stuff yet but the most recent email I got from them which I think was in July was them saying another company is basically buying the game from us and they will do the production and the the Fulfillment

Quotes (from this video)

• If you see something and you want it, get it right away.
• It's kind of like when Nova used to be in the old place when it was in several years back it was in Crystal City. Technically, there was like one restaurant within three blocks of the place and that was it.
• The benefit to this being in downtown Milwaukee is that it's in the convention district and there's a lot of restaurants and bars and all kinds of places around there. So uh it's going to be real nice.
• I think that the number of people obviously that go to conventions in comparison to the number of people who are in the hobby it's a very small percentage that go to conventions and I think there's a lot of folks that are just not that are either unable to due to distance or you know cost or social anxiety or just you know they just never have the the um the you know like they they got you know, several kids and two jobs or stuff like that. You just don't have the time to take off and go to a convention or whatever. So, I think that that happens a good deal.
• The reason they moved out of the old place was because they just literally had outgrown it. um when they moved to Shamberg I think adept to con was about 5,000 people maybe six and then over the years being in Shamberg like last year they hit 10,000 people so
• I have found that you get less of that overlap with speed paints. They they maybe don't I don't feel like they dry quite as quickly or something. I don't know what it is, but they don't seem I don't have a problem. They What do they call it? tide marks, coffee stains, something like that. And it's because you've taken a transparent color that dries so quickly that when you bring the other transparent color over and you have them kind of overlap a little bit, so there's not like a space in between where you, you know, on this thing, then you get double transparency, which means it gets darker. So you get this line where you stopped and then had to go and get more and then come back.
• The benefit I think what happens is almost every single convention gets to a point where it can no longer be in a convention center and hotel combo. It gets to the point where they need a convention center and then hotels around the convention center. It's the way Gen Con does it. It's the way that, you know, Adepticon's doing it now.
• It's like you're colorizing an old black and white movie or something like that. Um, but it does make things quicker and simpler and it still looks pretty good in most situations.
• Am I doing it right? I mean, I don't know. It's up to you.
• Would love if GW re-releases Mheim, but I fear this will also cause most people to overlook unofficial fan-made Mheim content, but who knows, maybe GW will open to unofficial content.
• Horus Heresy is basically a civil war story. So, it's all about we're not even paying attention to the aliens right now.
• It's because they were spending 50% of the time working on stuff for Warhammer Fantasy, but it was only 18% of sales and they were like, 'Well, this isn't going the right direction.'
• It's been a long time since GW's made a Kill Team box where I liked everything in the box.
• I find that I have the best um luck with OSL when I'm using my airbrush.
• The difference is is if you are like, 'Well, I would rather do something a little bit different and tweak things differently that way.'
• Overall, Army Painter Speed Paint wins for me, but there's um always a couple of the contrast paints I love, like the Blood Terror Red. It's just a gorgeous deep burgundy.

Quotes (from this video)

• But this is a neat little kind of gateway game.
• You get two forces of five miniatures each.
• everything in the box for, like I said, 66 bucks or less.
• The expansion called Mutantyear Zero Zone Wars: Robots and Psionics, which you can probably guess what that adds to the game, right?
• The Last War is kind of a World War I game, but there's been like a horrible plague that spread across the globe like during the war to end all wars and now things are like twisted and weird and the fighting has kind of changed to like frankly fighting for survival.
• It's a not too difficult of a system
• The models are great
• There's solo play and a campaign system and tons of scenarios and all that.
