Really interesting chat. I'm glad you touched on the ridiculous nature of GW rule books being paper rather than digital as the primary format. Especially with bloated, messy games like Necromunda it would be such a huge upgrade to have an online digital rule book. Updated and full of hyperlinks to allow for easy cross-referencing. A subscription service with tiers for access to single, multiple, all their games, the lore content etc would have to be more profitable than selling physical books and would reach a wider customer base and the ease of access would encourage interest in the broader range of games. Errors and balance issues can be updated and immediately accessible to the whole community. There would be a ton of data to draw from in terms of what is being played, what rules are constantly being checked and rechecked because they're too cumbersome or confusing, you could have army/gang roster sheets etc to see exactly what is being built and played and kept updated... The fact almost all of this is already being done to some degree by fans but GW wont do it and make money from it blows my mind!

Big shout to Griffins Games, I used to play there when i was 11/12 playing Warhammer 40k, then I stopped playing for 25 years. I then discovered The Games Bunker and it gave me a new lease on the hobby. Its as; if not more welcoming than any other gaming area I have ever visited. Jim has opened my eyes to playing board games and RPG style games that I now enjoy playing whenever I can get together with different people from the community. The section about the app and the potential digital content (codex etc) I couldn't agree with more, if all the books for all the games systems were available, surely people would be more interested in other game systems as it removes the barriers. £10 a month, not to have to worry about changes to keep up with seems worth it. It also means they can balance the game easier as they haven't got to worry about leaving people behind, buy the digital copy and get special offers made available to them direct from GW, or buy the hard copy. I wasnt a fan of how overly complicated the game has become and I welcome the slimming down of 10th edition (I may actually play rather than just paint).

Can't believe you called him a retailer, he's a bloody shopkeeper!

Great chat 😊👍
