Why the hell do we need a codex anyway? I don't understand why
they attempt to make it look like they are putting a load of
effort into it, when a living rulebook approach would work so much
better. That way they could save money on printing costs, update
the codex's regularly, and make sure everyone has access to the
latest rules. Hell, I'm sure most people would be willing to pay a
fee for this service, it's not like we can use a codex without
spending a fortune on the minis anyway!
At a guess printing is only a fraction of the production costs.
Probably the only one here that has any idea where profit is being
realised is Matt. I can guess where the high costs are.

What we know about GW is that they're very big on attempting to
create
lock-in in their product. Giving away things isn't very good for
lock
in.

Personally I think someone could make a decent amount of money by
following the model of some of the more nimble software companies.
Recently I was looking at purchasing a particular pieced of role
based
software. There's about four real applications out there. Three
of
them are between US$6,000-10,000. The other is AU$137. They're
going
for volume and have an extremely good reputation. They also have
primarily a download model. They're doing extremely well.

Imagine a game that adapted to any period from skirmish to large
scale
with a ruleset that you can download and have on your computer or
your
smart device (phone, ipod, etc). With an online force generator
that
also downloads to smart devices. Or you can print it out, and use
a pen
and paper.

The game system adapts to any miniatures from any manufacturer.
And you
buy a yearly subscription for the game.

I think it would make a dent in GW's lock-in.


And what's stopping us? Hell, even if we were to come up with a free
system that was easilly adaptable to any period it would be better
than this roll 5,000 D6 crap with 40k!
i still have the material for Bloody Dawn. couldnt hurt to try.
Because I know people don't read all the threads here, Spack has
kindly set me up a forum where we can keep all the ideas that we come
up with. Go to his site, ageofstrife.com, set up an account and PM me
on the forum or let me know your account name here. And I will grant
you access to the rules section.

waddayou THINK my forum account name is? :P
CheshireCat of course.

Sure you have an account there? You do not appear to.


well i made one, told me it would send an authentication email to my
account, never got it yet.


That's because hotmail.come isn't a valid domain :P

I'll fix your email and get it to resend the activation email.

okay i got the authentificatione mail, says "sorry this module does not
exist" and then when i try to log in with my forum name and password it says
im giving the wrong password. o.O is there a way you can just delete it all
out and let me try again?
