Reply To: Is it okay to be left behind – Pondering post lockdown

I think due to the nature and physicality of table top games it’s perfectly fine to be left behind. If you’ve got the book you can play the game, even more so with miniature agnostic games. Last year I discovered Frostgrave when Osprey made the pdf available for free along with solo rules. This was at the very end of the first edition, 6 months later they released 2nd edition. I’d been left behind for, say, five years.
I do feel left behind with 40k. I picked up the 9th edition rules last year but because of lockdown never got a chance to play. In fact we’ve only very recently started gaming in person again. Because of this we’ve seen so much change in 9th with the metric ton of stuff that’s been corrected and released that it feels a little bit intimidating to get back into the game. Right now it’s much easier to play something else. Then again if you don’t play Space Marines I guess you are waiting for 40k to catch up ?.
