Old Player, New Rules

[tksolway]

If it's in the rule book, then it is NOT CHEAP. Just like I don't believe there is a such thing as "Cheese" in 40k

QFT. :rolleyes:

On one level it seems true. On the other hand, as a dev, my feelings get complicated.

 

I suppose that the real problem is that cheese doesn't exist for the player. The player uses what has been given; any problems that come from what has been given are not the fault of the player if there happens to be a glitch. Cheese is the act of the developer or writer who consciously or unconsciously produces rules and abilities that take advantage of the larger structure of a game system in ways that cannot be countered, balanced or otherwise solved. That's basically negligence towards their work. War games are supposed to be glorified chess, not rock-paper-scissors-wrecking ball. And so I can happily lay the blame for all of our problems on writers like Mat Ward and Robin Cruddace, and on Games Workshop management.

 

but mostly Mat Ward
