Especially if you hoped that stores would actually have these kinds of books on the shelves. Reprints suddenly seem less likely, and store owners less interested in a RPG line that is already defunct...Why would you want to boycott BL? I'm pretty sure they didn't make the decision, even if the press release hints at this, generally this comes from the strategic level and not the tactical level of decision making. As BL is a subsidiary of GW, expect that the strategic decisions are made at GW higher echelons. A boycott will only make the success of BL more difficult, as well as a return of WFRP and W40KRP. It was indicated that this might only be a temporary thing, GW acts in cycles, so it might return in a year or two...While I'm not always happy with the way GW handles it's business (or it's pricing policies), last year was an excellent year for that hobby. Mighty Empires returned (with awesome plastic hexes), while the rules were almost non-existent, they did release the original rules in PDF online for free. Apocalypse returned W40K to a hobby game instead of a tournament style game. And an awesome plastic Baneblade (enormous tank), and a plastic dragon (with rider).I started with the hobby when I bought WD 98 (UK), I loved the shift to exclusive use of GW IP a couple of issues later. While it has turned into more of a catalogue for their products, currently there's enough interesting material in it to justify the 2-year subscription. WD currently has a three month cycles, with each month focusing on one of their core lines (WHF, WH40K, LotR), with articles in each issue of each system. That coincides with their release schedule for miniatures and expansions.I'll probably order the WH40K RPG asap, and am concidering ordering the entire WHFRP line, even though I haven't got the shelf space to put them on.Ps. If you like WHFRP, you might want to take a look at Cadwallon from Rackham. I couldn't sleep last night (was suddenly awake at 3:00) and started reading. It's pretty grim like WHFRP (I only really know 1st edition), but instead of being low-magic, it's pretty high-magic (but in a different way to most D&D high-magic settings). The art is awesome!</blockquote>
