2011 Goals (Not Resolutions)

I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions. If you keep up with them, they are a great way to make changes in your life. Most of the time, they lead to disappointment. Good intentions and high energy come crashing into Real Life.

So instead of resolutions, I’m setting some gaming goals for 2011:

Hello everyone! We've taken a look over the last few polls at what level of painting you're comfortable with before the models hit the table, how you like your tournaments, and what you think of GWs recent eyebrow-raising FAQ. On the whole, it looks like most people out there are in the same boat with painting ...

New Poll: What type of tournaments do you like?

With the a New Year and new tournament season beginning I wanted to gauge people's take on Tournament design.  A lot of the "major" tournaments, especially 40k, have begun to eschew "soft scores" such as comp for a more "Ard Boyz" or Warmachine style system.  Warmaching/Hordes philosophy has been the "play like you've got a ...

TFG, better known as "That F%#@ing Guy", is known and maligned by pretty much everyone in the gaming community.  They also exist and can't be ignored.  Their favorite habitat is the competitive environments of Tournaments and competition based leagues/campaigns, normally where prizes and bragging rights are in ample supply.  TFG can ruin your day/game if ...
