Rules & Regulations
-
Keep it civil
-
Submissions don't have to be directly about tabletop games, but they should be closely related. For example, posting that Amazon has a sale going on would be off topic, but posting that Amazon has a sale going on that includes RPG books would be on topic. Spam (blatant, such as mh101 or Irish dry cleaners) will be deleted.
More will be added if they become necessary.
Publishers
TBD
- /v/dungeonsanddragons - The name says it all. If you need in depth discussions of or information on D&D, pop on over to this subverse.
- /v/turnbased - Every now and then video games will be mentioned here when they relate to P&P games. /v/turnbased is dedicated to, you guessed it, turnbased video games.
- /v/rpgmaps - Sooner or later your game is going to need a map of some sort. /v/rpgmaps can help you out with that. They encourage everything from a global view down to the castle you're currently pillaging.
- /v/boardgames - If you're itching to talk Arkham Horror, RISK, The Settlers of Catan, or any other board game then this is your destination.
Resources
DriveThruRPG - If it's a digital RPG book, they (likely) sell it. They've even started providing Print on Demand for certain titles.
RPGNow - This is a sister site to DriveThruRPG, but it has an emphasis on indie RPGs.
Pen & Paper Games - If you're looking for a group, or advertising a group, and Voat just isn't producing results give this site a go. While their forum isn't exclusively for matchmaking, their extra features (ie: search for users within certain geographical areas, days available, etc) are geared for it.

I agree, modern rules make battles unmanageable. I know GW made an attempt with Shadow War to allow normal minis to be used in skirmish games, but that game died off. I’m planning on playing either Necromunda or something like Void 1.1 using my existing minis, since anybody I play with isn’t going to be pedantic about WYSIWYG for every little thing.

WYSIWYG is part of the rule lawyer crowd GW manufactured to sell more sprues. Back in the day they had rules for lots of wargear that never actually had models or models that were long out of print for years. The old guys who moved on to smaller shops were all about 'spirit of the game' and 'make up your own rules.' Doing what was fun and making a good story was way more emphasized. Then came the tournament play and the rule lawyers.

I only ever played at an official GW store a couple of times when I was younger, and I hated it. The rules lawyering and WYSIWYG nitpicking drove me crazy. Especially since the worst nitpickers for WYSIWYG are always the people with the ugliest paintjobs that just barely meet the requirements for play.
For me as long as it is clear which model represents which character I don’t really care how they look. Especially since I’m all about kitbashing models from different brands, which is a HUGE sin when playing with Games-Workshop tournament mindset people.
