I need to focus completely on the terrainFest project this week. I have made good progress all the stuff has been “built” and primed. So I need to focus on the painting.
So I need to finish
2 Towers
1 Gateway
6 Buildings
Barrels
That would give me at table at least up to table top standard for the end of TerrainFest.
Will G’Wullu drive sales from other rank & file game systems to “The Old World” in a way that it will hurt other companies?
The only two fantasy rank and file products that i can think of in terms of sales are Kings of War and Conquest. Kings of War is perhaps the only one it might impact. Judging the people who play it locally seem very passionate about the game even if they play the old world I dont see them leaving Kings of War for it.
Conquest is quite a different game. Nobody plays it locally or even talks about it. It is difficult to judge how sales are for it let alone what impact it might have.
I think what people forgot about GW is how much their games drives the hobby. My local store shifted over 100 boxes of 10th edition in 2 weeks. He made more money from that than most games lines will in a year. Not only that but all the people that come down to play the game, all the extras bought in terms of paint, grass tuffs. Even a lot of non GW products get sold off the back of these games. The launch of Old world will drive up sales across the board.
I think it increases sales and add’s to hobby. Perhaps the people today that start the old world now will in 10 – 15 years be the ones that move on to black power or Saga ?
Do old WHFB players even care about what G’Wullu is up to even any more?
Yes those in the hobby do at least. People often say they dont care. Well for people that dont care they spend a hell of a lot of time on social media about it. If people did not care either love or hate they would just go do something else. The fact that they are still following the news, still watching the youtube videos about it shows people care.
Has 9th age imploded yet?
Its free to download, and is great game. However the number of really active players is just in the hundreds. In the UK perhaps the biggest market it was about 250. Now people might play the odd game now and then but active players are pretty low. Nothing to imploded as such. It is not a product line which has sales, its a community project they update when they have time.
From what I have seen people in 9th age are happy to see the old world. They get access again to the models, hopefully the ruleset appears to be following previous editions. Its a Win / Win for 9th age as well.
