Help! I have been converted!

[DMG]

With few exceptions, the Warhammer games lead to antagonistic gameplay. I've seen far more arguments and ill-feeling across games of Blood Bowl, 40K or Necromunda than I ever have over any RPG I've ever played. The gameplay is aggressive and sometimes frustrating, and so often leads by default to an aggressive, frustrated atmosphere.

In GW games, there will be a loser - either you or your opponent, so ideally everyone involved must be good sports. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. GW games seem to be as bad as Diplomacy in the "starting arguments" stakes. RPGs are far superior in the "having a laugh with your mates" stakes.
Warhammer games: 0. RPGs: 1.

I've actually found the opposite. I've nearly lost some good friends over something as simple as a game of D&D. We all found we didn't enjoy the game because we were all expecting something different from it & couldn't work it out. That's one of the main reasons I'm not playing now. Two of us decided to break away from the group & play the Games Workshop games instead.

It's better to not play, than loose good friends.

Plus, I like painting things that are impossible to dust! Your points do have a lot of merrit though rounser & make sense.

Consider yourself lucky....

The only game I can land right now is a Vampire: The Mas. It's just not my D20 Oh well. I'll convert these blind sheep and send them with arms wide open to the flames of D20!
