GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

[Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl]

Deja vu...

I swear, digital rulebooks and apps, while convenient, have really killed the art of releasing a rulebook. Now it's all FAQs and errata's and updates that make owning the book bordering on pointless.

Meh, I still like to read a hardcopy rulebook, and hold it in my hands... feel the paper of the pages and the hardback cover. And for me it is still a much more convenient way to access the rules than having to download the rulebook's PDF onto my phone (or save it on Google Drive), then access it and wait for the highly-detailed pages to load. Not to mention when my phone is as dysfunctional and disobedient as a 4-year-old child can be despite being that age itself

Oh, I'm the same. The neurotic in me wants a physical book, not least of which because that way I actually own the thing. I'm the same way with videogames; sure it's convenient for my library to be digital... But I want the disc so I have the thing in actuality.

Plus I would much rather be able to flip the book open to a page and show the other player the rule in question than hand over my phone.

Also hear hear regarding the phone and age of such. Mine is 7 years old, with all the creaking and groaning of a geriatric that comes with out. Makes doing anything a slow and tedious affair, and that's before getting to things like PDF reading

Me too. When it comes to books and novels, nothing beats a physical copy. For a quick glance, a digital copy can be convenient, but when I really want to get into it and actually enjoy the process of reading, in need an old school book in my hands.
