Hello Everyone, After a bit of thinking, I would like to welcome a woman to join Dale and I in the G*M*S Magazine RPG podcast. Currently we are three people in the boardgame podcast and, apart from having great fun, the podcast works a lot better. Since I am a big advocate for bringing more...

There is something in that, I think. Though that's probably quite a few years away. The cost of mass production will always be a lot cheaper, and I can imagine them lowering the prices if push came to shove. Also, if they had any sense, they'd probably install 3D printers in their shops and...

Uhmm... it might come close, but I still wouldn't call them bad. I would say some of the things they do are bad. I'll talk to my friend next Saturday and ask him which ones to make sure I get them right. OH, what I meant with that is how they pro-actively cast away any other games products from...

Except that, as I have said in previous posts, I am only advocating for GW branded products, not Privateer Press or Pathfinder products, or any other. That's fair enough. I understand the debate bit! :) I bet they fire anyone in their office who has this sort of conversation... they probably...

If my cat ever hears you say that, you'll be in serious trouble! It's thumbs that separate him from us! I always add my reasoning or a justification to my doings or thinking (most of the times, at least). It doesn't always avoid cofusion, but it helps sometimes. Actually their targeting...

The reason for any shop to be there is to sell. If the reason for a shop to be there is not to sell, then they are being stupid. It is an incredibly expensive way to maintain a presence and there are other ways to do that more cheaply. That they don't want to go with it is clear, and it is also...

I am with you on that one, expect on one point. I have never labeled GW bad. I have said they are not good. I know it might sound like that means they are bad, but it really doesn't. They are bad at quite a few things, but that is a subject for another thread. What I really wanted to...

Several arguments that could be had. If a shop is not giving enough selling a specific product, there are various things to do. Either market the product to reach more people (within the same demographics or expanding it), reduce the overheads (not always possible if one is running at the bear...

Your tone comes actually a lot softer than mine, so I shan't complain! :) I am not trying to be rude or anything. I do have a rather harsh style of writing. Partly that English is not my mother tongue, partly that I am a rather blunt man and partly because I am used to use the tone of my voice...

There are various reasons. However I will admit that it was a rude thing to say and I apologise for that. I know someone has asked me to do that before and I haven’t. The reason for that is because I refuse to apologise to someone who requests the apology on someone else’s behalf. Since my...

Getting it from the source, I will stand corrected. For the record, even though I wish the magazine were still a multi-game magazine, I have absolutely nothing against WD. The few times I have come autocross it, I have thought it was a very good publication. Just one that doesn't interest me. I...

Well, no, but then, you are not an opinionated bastard like I am! :D Uhmm... I’ll have to write another article about living a life of being secretly manipulated by a corporation then. Even if I don’t think I am! The ones I can recall, at similar sizes and similar shapes, come to my mind by...

BTW, thank you very much for contributing to the debate. I realise this would be a lot more fun in a pub with a beer and having a laugh, but I really appreciate your insight on this one and the sense you talk. Would be great to discuss this or something else in person sometime.

Apart from being rude to me a couple of times at their shop in Brighton, nothing really. There are a lot of companies out there I don't like (like McDonald's and Nestle) and they haven't done anything to me either. I just don't like them. Err... no. My opinions are my own and based on what...

Why could I ever take offence at someone turning his back on me in a shop? That is not just poor customer service, it is also bad manners. I have worked in retail in the past. The company I currently work for has a very strict customer satisfaction guidelines that we put in place to make sure...

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. I would say that the many posts that are present in this thread are more than enough debate. As to how I have offered little in the way of debate considering how I have engaged in this conversation, you'll have to explain that to me. About...

Oh well, to reply to your questions about who they should address: Everyone else they're not addressing so far. Did that really need a reply? Because it was pretty obvious to me. As for the "nonsense"... please point it out. I think we've established in this thread that this sort of claims...

Btw, I just saw the Texas tornado in the news. I know this is a tangent to this conversation, but I do hope you guys are safe. A friend of mine lost his house last year during the tornado season and I know it can be horrible. Hope it doesn't happen to anyone this year, though I realise that's...

I will only reply to your last paragraph. Main reason is the one that I found the most interesting. Also because I need to finish a few things at home and I really don't have as long as I'd like. I am more than happy to criticism. I haven't shied away from it and I haven't complained about it...

Uhmm... I can see why it seems I was making a case. It wasn't my intention or objective, though it seems it comes naturally (if clumsily) to me. Maybe a new talent to explore! I think you've just convinced me to write more articles and post them here! Thank you! As to why I provided with...
