Most people might not know that I was (and with 8th, am becoming once more) a huge Warhammer 40k goober. 40k shaped my game design approach.

The choice between arming a squad with a heavy bolter vs. a lascannon is like the best, most enjoyable question I think you can ask a gamer.Do you want to make lots and lots of weak shots to mow down infantry, or one big shot to blow up tanks/dreadnoughts/heroes?

Do you want to make lots and lots of weak shots to mow down infantry, or one big shot to blow up tanks/dreadnoughts/heroes?I love choices that are really flavorful and dramatically different in games. Makes your choice really matter and reflects game's reality.

My designs try to capture that aesthetic whenever possible. Big, impactful, dramatic choices. Don't always hit it, but it's what I aim for.

Ugh, the new 40K is so tempting!

It's the edition I never knew I was waiting for since I first picked up Rogue Trader in '91.

If I somehow manage to track down / replace your collection, can I get a pair of those awesome D&D sneakers?If only it were replaceable! It included Citadel miniatures that are no longer in production.
