• Have you already discarded any new year resolution?

Nah, never made one ’cause I know myself. IF anything I’d need to drink more alcohol, not less 😉

• What would make you part with a game/system even though it was still popular and widely played?

Interesting … I haven’t thought about that one, because I never actually part with a system.
Although I did want to abandon AD&D 2nd edition in favour of 3rd, but that was mostly due to the mechanics getting a much needed revision.

More recently I kind of discovered that I have started to dislike what 40k had become and that it’s never ever going to improve over what it is : a way to sell minis.

Or more precise … I really really disliked how the recent Genestealer Cult codex had once again shown that GW prefers to add special rules instead of fixing the core mechanics. The fact that the Ork codex didn’t feel like it was about orks played into that as well. I didn’t realise this when 8th edition was released, because I figured that with everything ‘reset’ they might clean up he worst excesses, but 9th editon has made it clear that instead they’ve doubled down on adding bloat with nary a thought to game balance. So I’m tempted to give the one page rules a chance as an alternative, because with the state that GW’s rules/codexes are in I’m not even going to miss the ‘fluff’ …

It probably won’t stop me buying models, because they still make some of the best plastic kits in the business.

• Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?

I am the devil … so that would be more like
