Who is writing the codex? is it A-D-B? If not, why? He knows what the hell he's doing...

 

MR.

Really? You really think A D-B is a prime candidate for codex authorship? I'm sure the man is a fantastic author able to churn out all manner of scintillating black library pulp, but games design is a very different skill than writing a novel. This board, nay, the fandom as a whole, is crawling with hacks who would debase and destroy the system as a whole in a misguided attempt to 'fix' some perceived minor flaw that has more to due with the errors of their perception than any real defect. Over time, and it's taken a number of years, I've come to understand a little better why the studio makes some of the choices it does. I don't agree with all of them, but the answer is not to shove the job onto the untrained, uninsightful, and ill prepared, and I've seen nothing to convince me of our superlative authors games design credentials.

 

In five years Messers. Ward and Crudace may have finally learned how to handle the complex systems that are the games workshop brand of games, with in ten years they'll likely be working somewhere else. I look forward to seventh edition with some cautious optimism.

 

By the same token, why do these designers suddenly think they can write novels?
