Basically its WAAC. Wargames vary on the game and community, e.g. 40k is FUBAR but I find that Malifaux is balanced and fun. Warmahordes is the same as MtG in terms of community and fun. Since I play TT games for community/social interaction/fun I find that I'm leaning towards RPGs a lot more than TT (also waaaaaay less expensive) since TT require a higher buy in and an equal amount of time for a lot less fun on your 'investment'. A lot of it depends on the people but RPGs tend to be 'pre-screened' - I don't play with random power gamers and we can always say 'sorry table full' whereas with war-games it's expected that you can play anyone with the same points value (which doesn't balance it anyway!) With war-games / mtg the person with the better army-list/deck usually wins (exceptions being idiot players and balanced games e.g. malifaux and to an extend warmahordes though it has hyper power-creep too). I'd rather play chess and be owned by kasparov rather than loose to Nooby McGee with his Eldar-Inqusition-Tau-Chaos cheese ball army of doom or similarly win to Nooby McGee with his 'all on foot assault imperial guard army'.TLDR: I'd rather play a game that involves fun, story/narrative and skill as well as dice as opposed to 'list hammer' and in a game that encourages social interaction above being 'that guy'</blockquote>
