There were most definitely something rotten in Kislev (pun most definitely intended 😀 ).

Initial version of the rpg (or at least the one I got way back when) definitely was not full of happy little princesses looking for prince charming. It was closer to ‘Call of Cthulluh’ with a lot of nasty business going on behind the facade of civilisation. Life was dirty, brutal, lethal and short.

I think part of the charm of the initial versions is that GW itself didn’t know what it wanted those settings to be.
It was merely a set of rules to sell minis … and it kind of has remained that way.

These days they’re trying to give it direction and make it acceptable to teenagers as well as mom and dad.
The only dirty these days is Nurgle and his allies. Everything else has been made acceptable for display at Walmart next to the LEGO toys.

Weird music …

Speaking of hobby.
I’ve got kickstarters incoming. One is Talislanta … which I remember as this really really odd RPG with lizards. The art was odd.

Talislanta – The Epic Tabletop Roleplaying Game – Final Edition (6th Ed)

The other package ? I don’t have a clue. No info on who or what is sending it. I will see that when it arrives.
I think it’s minis, but that’s me guessing.
