I’m a big fan of the original game, and I was the design lead on the rpg’s 2nd edition, so I have a lot of affection for it.

One of my biggest hesitations is all that plastic. I mean, that’s why the game is $150, right? And I just don’t have painting in my life any more. Maybe I will again at some point.

I picked up Blood Rage a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty good game. I don’t know that a fully painted set would make it much better, but it doesn’t matter because I’m not painting it. So it feels wasteful to drop so much cash on the toys.

I mean I’m in for many hundreds in Armada ships, but they’re prepainted. Feels less wasteful.
