It always rains in Nuln

Say what you want about Games Workshop and its subsidiaries. Their money grubbing policy may irk some, or rather most of us, but the quality of their products is a completely different thing. Usually. What I'm trying to say here, that while expensive, the stuff they are selling is usually worth it, and this is also true about Black Library, their book publishing division.   As someone who dosen't have a lot of time to read, I'm an avid fan of audiobooks. Fortunately Black Library has a huge selection of those and whenever they publish something new, I get in line to check it out. The quality is a mixed thing, but then again this can be said about all GW products, right? So without further ado, let us dive right into my first BL's audiobook, a review of "Vulkan's Shield" by Nick Kyme. "Above a war torn battlefield on a distant world, Ko'tan Kadai and his Salamanders are on a mission of mercy. As the city burns, the Fireborn rescu

The End Times are in full swing. In January of 2015 we'll find out what everyone's favorite furry race will contribute to this world-shattering event. Meanwhile I still have to finish my thoughts on the whole thing and review both "Glottkin" and "Khaine" supllements. So let's get to it. On my last post I've written about things that I didn't liked in the "Glottkin" book. There are a few of them, I'll admit that. Particualry as I'm an Empire player, many of these "revelations" irk me to no end, however they are nothing compared to the complete shitfest that is "The End Times: Khaine". Now, just as was the case with Glottkin, this won't be a review. I'm saving my full opinion on the book's mechanics and units for later. I just want to share some of my personall thoughts about the fluff and the direction that the End Times themselves are heading to. Also I won't be talking about the "

I've made myself a promise, when starting this blog, that I'd not use any major swear words. Not because I wanted to attract the 6+ demographic, but simply to avoid unnecessary cursing. However recent "revelations" concering the ongoing End Times event made me change my mind. Drastically. I'll state this plain and simple: they've fucked it up. There, I said it. End Times are friggin attrocious and what started as an interesting, nay fascinating, plot-driven, apocalyptic scenario, turned into a half-assed, lazy, stupid, uninspired shit-fest that rapes 20+ years of established fluff with a rusty rake.  Now if you've read my earlier posts, I was really ecstatic when the End Times debuted. Finally something happened in the good, old Warhammer world. Finally something moved forward. After the dissapointment that was the SoC retcon, us Fantasy enthusiasts had a chance to witness a brand new chapter in one of the most iconic settings in existence, and in w

I couldn't help myself and decided to start yet another category on my blog, focusing on role-playing games. I've been into RPG's for more than 20 years now, and during that time I've learned a lot about PnP's. Why not share some of that knowledge with others? Bear in mind that this articles will be long and rant-like so prepare yourself for some heavy reading. I hope you'll find my opinions both entertaining and usefull, should you ever decide yourself to try some good old fashioned PnP. One of the things I love the most about RPG's is being the Gamemaster, or GM as we are sometimes called. This mainly stems from the opportunity to create your own world, where you can do whatever the hell you like. Also I suck at playing. No really, I'm a terrible player whose every character is basically the same, no matter what system I end up in, and in the end I tend to do goofy stuff like headbutting important officials or ripping rat's throats.
