It's ok if you buy flock or whatever from Woodland Scenics, but lol forever if you buy their water effects or their sticks or pretty much anything else.

I assume they sell sticks for the ancient railroad dudes who never leave their elaborate basement setups and just spend off time carefully paging through catalogues for things to add to their tables. Also, as hilarious as they are, their trees and stuff were always way cheaper than the GW ones that were basically the same thing.

I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with wanting a lot of figures to represent your army. Some people live the visual appeal of tons of soldiers going at it. But the rules need to be able to cope with the model count. Things like a squad leader or standard bearer or musician or any kind of squad upgrade are probably best thought of as generic upgrades to a sqad with that play style though. Getting caught in the specifics for each model drags everything to a crawl.

I think my favourite thing about Warmaster is how multiple different independent companies recognised the simple genius of the Warmaster system and ported it to many different time periods - Napoleonic, ancients, cold war, WWII, future fights, you name it. The rules are used as a jumping off point for more games who tweaked and improved on the original formula. Meanwhile GW commissions this system, takes a look at it, goes "NOT SELLING ENOUGH ELVES" and shitcans it after 6 months, never looking back.

I even have an all-GW Warmaster army so can play at warhammer world.

Who the gently caress wants to play Munchkin in 2016? I see it in game stores but no one is ever playing it. I ask the same question about Flux but I think that is to scam parents into buying stuff for their nerd kids based on the box theme.

I've used Munchkin as a gateway game to other stuff with some people. As long as you only play it once you're ok.

Radish posted:Who the gently caress wants to play Munchkin in 2016? I see it in game stores but no one is ever playing it. It's a great "babbies 1st or 2nd game" hell, I went crazy buying expansions and sets for it when I first got into games. I can see why it sells, there's a reason you'll always see it or Catan at every bookstore. It can still be loads of fun with the right group* *Monopoly will be fun with that group, but that doesn't make monopoly a good game either. edit: Actually it's terrible for introducing an actual child to gaming. Really it just fits the role of showing an adult board/cardgames can be fun but it still requires them to be in on the joke that the rules are intentionally vague and it's a "Remember how you used to be a brat and have to argue about how games were played when you were a kid?"
