8th edition Fanatasy

Joel will be getting a store copy by next Tuesday. He wants evryone interested to come take a look at it see if your interested before he orders. He doesnt want to get stuck with a bunch of unpurchased copies.

WTF is fanatasy? Anyone? Anyone?

It's like the size a phone book right? Guessing GW will price this around $110 for entry level players? /interwebz sarcasm

Sweet - lets rent a xerox!

It will be on share sites the day after lol

WARNING: BLATANT THREAD HIJACKING INBOUND!

Whats up with all he "legal stealing" with share sites? I've used them twice and ended up buying the product either way. At some point there is going to be some sort of backlash due to almost everyone downloading everything. My guess is that (as far as games are concerend) a bunch of companies would go out of business or only be allowed to grow up to a certain point. Minis sales are only part of the equation.

I think with most gaming products, it's easier to just buy the product as you want it handy, and printing out rulebooks is a pain in the ass.

Lot of companies also have gone the free rule route instead of trying to sell books as it's hard to make much profit on books with such low print runs that gaming usually does.

It's common with GW stuff though because they always leak their shit early and someone puts it on the net before it hits stores.

fixed

Well, not up yet from what I can see

Yeah, sadly scans aren't available as early as they were for 5e 40k

Has GamesWorkShaft announce the cost of the new rule book? $110 sounds about right, hell based on past consumer tolerance I think they should charge $350 or may be $500. I think they would still sell.

JerryB make way for the king!

Price is unknown yet, as well if it's going to be full color. It's a huge book and preview pics kinda hint that it's going to possibly be in all color which could make for pricey book.

Joel said the book is gonna be like 500 pages or something out of control like that. It's gonna have basically the same amount of rule content, but more scenarios and fluff, etc. etc. Also more color.

Honestly, I've got no clue, and doubt it'll be THAT big. I'm gonna look it over just to see what it's got though.

The page count GW announced is 528 pages.

They are smart, people that want to play will eb forced to buy the huge ass book, but when the box set with the mini book comes out, people will buy that because who the hell wants to carry a 20lb book arround ?

Im probably gonna be one of those

We still don't know if the box set will include a full rulebook like the past sets have. I would imagine it still does though since its coming later, but I would have thought they would have dropped the small rulebook thing since so many sales would go that route instead.

Nah, people will want the large rulebook because of the scenarios and stuff. I'll bet the little one will just have the basic rules. If you want to play one of the scenarios or missions, you'll need the big rulebook for that.

At least, thats how I'd do it.

I'm planning on coming by with my army, in case anyone wants to test-run it. Anyone else planning on doing the same?

I have a 12 hour shift tomorrow, but Wednesday looks good ATM

Thank you for keeping the apples and oranges in their own crates.

$75. Yeah, no. I'm just gonna wait for the starter set and try and get a mini-rulebook off of eBay.

Rumor has it that the mini rulebook will only have one scenario only.
