Going beyond the prices - which are getting almost totally prohibitive - and talking about the rules is important. They need a good overhaul in the light of the other game systems you mention. Of course, I'm happy to play early editions of 40k or fantasy, but that's hardly a common taste so current market conditions need to be taken into account.<br /><br />And I agree the support from GW to indie retailers is awful. But I'm not hip enough to understand what 'Gee Dub' means!Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338536132702316924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537071612815653912.post-77451510629701268402014-01-20T17:39:11.742+00:002014-01-20T17:39:11.742+00:00I would like to see Gee Dub offer clear, concise, ...I would like to see Gee Dub offer clear, concise, and well-written rulesets for their game(s). Support both the physical and digital products (rules) with updated FAQs and errata. <br /><br />The second thing I would like to see is Gee Dub support independent retailers, rather than compete with them. I have only purchased one thing in a Gee Dub store due to prohibitive price(s), and hours of operations (stupid one-man stores). That was a Redemptionist gang pack- direct sale only. The small size of the Gee Dub stores coupled with some of their more outlandish rules are reasons my friends and I avoid gaming there- and I can't tell you how many times I buy something at my LGS over the course of a game night (be it hobby, or game related). <br /><br />Finally, I would iterate that some sort of discount to product purchase is in order. Even if the discount is applied to large purchases, or bundled deals. The price to play this game, coupled with the rules were the deciding factors that pushed me into seeking new games for my hobby time. I am now spending money on competitors such as X-Wing (FFG), Dropzone Commander (Hawk Wargames), Warmachine (PP), and Malifaux (Wyrd), whereas a year and a half ago I was exclusively devoted to spending my hobby time (and budget) on 40K. <br /><br />Good Game, Gee Dub!Gonewild40khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288386569896024651noreply@blogger.com
