I've never understood why gamers not only need a game to be in print to enjoy it.<br /><br />Of course edition hell seems to be the only thing keeping the RPG industry afloat so I guess stupid gamers do have a use of some kind.<br /><br />No wonder I get railed on for daring to play older and more niche games.<br /><br />Course they will take my copy of Squad Leader and Ogre/GEV from me when they pry them from my cold dead hands.Captain Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296697477771399357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-70975309374719594272009-06-04T10:16:12.391-07:002009-06-04T10:16:12.391-07:00to put another spin on an already great point-- if...to put another spin on an already great point-- if your favorite musician stops putting out albums, do you stop listening to them? i love bob marley's music, but i didn't walk away from his albums when he died. i keep playing them and like to think i help the spirit of his music live on. <br />if music fans can do this, so can gamers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-81535263040432735242009-06-03T17:57:22.401-07:002009-06-03T17:57:22.401-07:00Excellent rant Matt!

I'm with you 100% on this one. <br /><br />For the life of me, I could never figure out why people think something that's tremendous fun today is suddenly not fun tomorrow only because there won't be any more "official" expansions for it. <br /><br />I think it shows that so few people nowadays really THINK FOR THEMSELVES; they prefer to be spoon fed everything. Maybe it's the way of the new generation, which is MUCH different than the way we 40-somethings grew up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-23531304411969422182009-05-27T10:05:52.463-07:002009-05-27T10:05:52.463-07:00Heroscape is the game that got me back into gaming...Heroscape is the game that got me back into gaming and is still my favorite. I haven't been into the tournament scene but the guys I game with once a month demand heroscape damn near every month. <br /><br />I'll be disappointed when WOTC stops producing the game but I have everything released to date which will aloow me to play the game for a looooooong time. And I can always go to fan customs on heroscapers.com for more material. <br /><br />So I'll keep playing Heroscape after WOTC is done and maybe I'll be able to introduce a little variety into my gaming group. <br /><br />BTW, I check out the news section at heroscapers all the time and haven't seen the negativity and doom saying - where is all that coming from?<br /><br />Lastly, another good rant, my personal favorites are when you reply to people who took objection to your review, but this was good also. <br /><br />P_J_KellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-8034199223643095962009-05-26T07:01:08.962-07:002009-05-26T07:01:08.962-07:00The only issue I have with "dead" games is that if...The only issue I have with "dead" games is that if you've played it and love it, it's hard as hell to get a copy for a reasonable amount of money (see Warhammer Quest)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623599564665774177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-64787749844249859872009-05-23T19:59:48.254-07:002009-05-23T19:59:48.254-07:00Well said.

SInce I got 7 of the exclusives last year and well um - gave them all away ( yep even the ones I got signed to me personally ) I guess I may not be playing just for the free Swag. <br /><br /> Even if Heroscape stops getting new stuff - there is so much wonderful stuff over at Heroscapers.com that you could expand it for the rest of your life and still not see it all.Hendalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-39878823742229813472009-05-22T19:05:24.770-07:002009-05-22T19:05:24.770-07:00Damn!Damn!Tamburlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480426904259417157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-62180043730183306292009-05-22T08:12:23.625-07:002009-05-22T08:12:23.625-07:00I completely agree with what you're saying.

It's the game that got me into gaming and is still one of my absolute favorites. I still want WotC to keep releasing stuff, because it only adds to the wonderfully diverse universe we've already gotten, but there was a game worth buying and keeping in the rotation as soon as the original master set was released.Wind Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-32268531664012069842009-05-21T21:51:43.722-07:002009-05-21T21:51:43.722-07:00Bravo!

I originally started reading your blog through heroscapers, but I get tired of going there now because of the doom and gloom attitude. <br /><br />My friends and I still play Mage Knights every so often (especially dungeons) If we ever got tired of the existing figures, we sure as hell would be making our own too. <br /><br />If a game is fun, keep playing it.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684267722561301184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-19757806760517988242009-05-21T16:26:26.481-07:002009-05-21T16:26:26.481-07:00Attaboy, Matt!Attaboy, Matt!Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-24100416388742207852009-05-21T13:32:08.637-07:002009-05-21T13:32:08.637-07:00You can't make me play good games!!!
