Wow, so little activity

I came back after many years to see if there is a TW game finaly worth it (since RTW imho...) and all I got is depressed.

There seem to be two subjects being talked about here:

a) Warhammer. I do not mind the game being non factual and phantasy based. In fact I hated all those silly units TW released when it should be creating accurate games. A phantasy world allows for such experimentation. However, from what I hear none of the issues with previous games (boring gameplay, bad diplomacy etc) have been fixed.

b) As for the forum. 2 things. First, we are the obsolete mid 30's - mid 40's who stil use forums etc. We ll be getting less and less numerous. The old folks who still use internet forums and IRC and remember their model dialling and such. Second, someone goes to a gaming forum and will stay maybe for a couple of months and move on once they stop playing that game. What kept the .org going were the non-gaming sessions (general discussions, politics etc). Some decisions there were, lets say unfortunate (to put it very mildly) led to on occasions to either a mass exodus for members or key members leaving. That sped things up...

...now I ll just go and wait for a decent TW game for a few more years.

Actually, the gameplay, especially campaign-wise is the most simplified one. Simply nobody minds, because many new fans don't compare them to previous games and their historical counterparts had very low expectations, simply wanting a fun, casual game to spend their free-time enjoyably.

I suspect that we're all going to wait for quite lots of years.
