I mean, yeah kinda. Having children present does change the tone of what you are doing, and it is good that there exist no-children-allowed activities or areas. But A) declaring an entire hobby off limits to children is dumb and B) "ya ever gently caress lasanga"? Seriously? That's your idea of fun that you can't have without children present? gently caress off

My favorite thing has been the comments of "the little girl on the cover has a loving hijab!" A. Who cares. B. No really who cares. C. God forbid a non white being exist in your prescious 40k universe an wear clothing on their head. D. Wonder if their heads would explode if they knew what the Tallarn legion of Imperial Guard was.

Reminds me of a tournament I went to (where I knew absolutely nobody) and my opponent was a total stranger who apparently thinks the word 'oval office' is punctuation. I don't really get offended by swearing (I probably swear too much myself) but it was to the point of being weird. I try to moderate myself a bit when I go to events so that I don't accidentally upset anyone (at least until I get to know people a bit), but I feel this would be a good rule of thumb for anyone really. If you want to verbally abuse your mates, maybe do it at home?

Wouldn't the "lore-friendly" version of this already have been set on fire?

One is a guy's 12 year old he brings along on game day. The kid is wild. Doesn't actually play games and just runs around screaming. More than a few models have fallen off the table and broken. Another is a friend's 9 year old. The kid paints and plays, and is fairly well behaved. He's prone to forgetting rules and bouts of immaturity, but, ya know, he's 9. I don't dread gaming when he shows up. Basically what I'm saying some kids are fine to game with and some aren't. But IMO it's more on the parenting.

Everything bad that has been presented as an example of gaming with children in this thread and probably on reddit too can be matched with an anecdote of a full-grown adult doing the same poo poo, unfortunately.

That's your idea of fun that you can't have without children present? gently caress off I'm guessing from the over the top tone that Steel Mentor was being facetious. At least, I hope so. On the one hand, the basic idea of having kid friendly way of entry into the hobby is good - except this is GW, and is extremely over priced, from I've heard has a pretty toxic fan base and has some pretty adult/gross stuff in the game. If this was almost any other company, I'd think this was great. (Though, having a on-cover main character in a hijab is a good sign, I'll grant.) Maybe if there was like a kids version of the game, or something like heroclix where you'd have to really go digging into the comics themselves to find the weird stuff about certain comic book characters, but this it just feels weird, since my impression the stuff mentioned is in the game's lore itself. Like saturday morning cartoons or toys for Robocop or Alien weird. Though, I'll grant, maybe I'm misunderstanding and it's only in the novelizations, and it is more like heroclix's relationship to the comics.

It's too bad all these wargamers who hate this idea of YA stories invading their forged narratives can't appreciate the potential of starting characters as children in a lighter toned 40k universe only to slowly evolve them and their surroundings naturally as they have more adventures and grow up to face the grim dark reality of a galaxy filled with only war and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Honestly I find the constant nihilism of the 40k universe kind of eye-rolling and wouldn't mind seeing it cranked back a bit anyway.

I find it particularly amusing that all those people probably entered Warhammer as kids. I was 13 when I first became interested in Warhammer. When I was 13 I thought the setting was the raddest poo poo. Because it's full of what edgy 13 year olds love. lol if you get into Warhams fluff as an adult and obsess over it. The website says it's for ages 8-12. 12 does not feel very far from 13 to me. 8 is rather young for the grimdark, but that's why it's more light hearted. Someone who gets in in that age bracket is totally going to enjoy learning all the edgy fluff afterwards.

They'd have tattoos of the main characters within a week and be posting porn of the main characters within hours.

I said this in the other thread, where I first saw it, but I'm planning on buying some of these little books precisely because they piss off redditors so much. I'm going to give GW money for the first time in my life because they're pissing off the right people. For books I'll probably never read.

If they really are kid friendly and not absolute garbage donate them to a family with kids or a library.

Definitely do the library donation. They'll love you and it's tax deductible.

I told my wife about the nerds losing their poo poo over Kid's First Book of Grimdark. "That's the game with the rape priest aliens and power armor that you Josh play?" "How is that kid friendly?" "Dunno" "And they are mad at build they haven't read?! loving nerds." I actually want to get them and read them. We wouldn't need to indoctrinate kids to our hobby if less of the players weren't toxic pieces of poo poo. And who the gently caress gets mad at trying to get kids to read, and play a cool loving game? I was amped when last summer, right before going back to school, my son randomly wanted to build models and try a game.

It's almost like everyone forgot that this is a widely shared and beloved piece of fanart:  This doesn't need to be set after the fall of the Imperium or death of Chaos or whatever. It could just be a world where some Space Mans came down and saved the population and a century later some kids play in the ruins. No one seemed to have a problem with this picture. But you tell one of those kids that they're psychic and need to go on an adventure to save the planet from space robots and everyone loses their goddamn mind.
