I want to say this is the fault of the original #40K#creators, being young, edgy, metal loving British men who thought things "happy endings are for girls," or "the Grim dark future is serious."
I WANT to, but I CAN'T. Because at the same time #Warhammer DID have a sense of humor, and it did have a sense of fun.
I'd swear to god if I wasn't an atheist, but "the #WarhammerCommunity" used to be different. At least until the middle to late #2000s, when many of "the old guard" started leaving.
No argument on Andy Chambers, but I disagree on the #Necrons with extreme prejudice. #ThirdEdition Necrons were the ONLY good version of Necrons.
1: They were simple. A Wraith was a Wraith, Scarabs were Scarabs and a Lord was a Lord. No "canoptek this," "hexmark that," just because some stock bro got a bee in his bonnet over #intelllectualproperty.
2: Necrons were cooler as unknowable ancients enslaved to cosmic horrors instead of Tomb Kings in space. Infinitely cooler.
@FatherEnoch Perhaps there's a way around that, if the Outsider is brought back as the last intact C'Tan and Oldcrons are his foot troops.
Regarding creators and talent, GW does chew through them at an alarming rate. The most recent example of this, of course, is fan fave Louise Sugden, who is, fortunately, doing well on her own now.
The #GM would be me. I have no experience with #WHFRP and my last experience as GM was a #Vampire#Chronicle that went down in flames before my old gamer club closed (more than a decade ago)
