Games Workshop soured me on their games because of the pricing. They box these things up in China for a dime a unit and then sell them for sixty-five bucks a box. I recently checked out their page and was astonished to see their prices have doubled since i played last a little over a decade ago. I’m wondering how they even get new players in the door. The funny thing is, 3-D printers are going to totally kill their tabletop market in a few years…

Don’t worry, I might have thought the same thing (until I found out that one female member of my WoW guild also used to play. Did I just come out as the resident Bunker nerd? ;)) I don’t actually play the tabletop, but the WH40k pen&paper RPG – if I started collecting those miniatures, I know I wouldn’t be able to stop, and then my wallet would hate me.

Ya know… I realized that I made an error and apologized. I tried to explain how your comments came across to me, since as I said you seemed to classify Heathens into just those two categories — of to which I belong to NEITHER — and insinuated that I had no idea what the different factions are that consider themselves as following a Norse system. I’m closer to a reconstructionist in my beliefs so seidr and other ‘magic’ systems aren’t part of my worldview, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t respect those that do. The article that is linked above is so full of misconceptions and plain wrong information, but hey…

It seems that no matter what I say, I’ll be wrong. I’ve never degraded anyone’s beliefs here either, so I have no idea where you got that. I’m not going to continue arguing over this, as you said we’re ” here for a reason”

Thanks for your clarification. I do appreciate it.

If you’re actually a racial purist I have no time for you.

Human beings are not livestock and inbreeding benefits no one.
I’m just saying.

Furthermore, *I* have done nothing to degrade anyone’s belief system. You haven’t shown me anything near the same courtesy – your claim that you weren’t responding to me but using my comment as a “jumpingoff place” is disrespectful at best.

If you want to reply to *me* then reply to me. Otherwise, get your own jumpoff.

I’m here for a reason and it is disrespectful to “respond” to me as a jumpoff for unrelated bullshit. Thanks!

Hi ThetaBara.
Apologies as well. I read part (got pissed and couldn’t read it all) of the article that was posted earlier, and used your post mostly as a vent jump off point, and not directed specifically at you.

I am well aware of the nazitru aspect that has surfaced, which seems to mostly come from those who were incarcerated. I wasn’t offended by the term ‘woowoo’ as much as how your post came across to me as followers were either in one camp or the other. In other parts of the interwebs I’m involved with, woowoo is used as a descriptor for those who tend to be willfully ignorant of the facts behind what they believe in, so I automatically went to that definition in my head. I’m not saying that you are one of those though! I’ve also been studying other systems of belief and magical for 20+ years… I’ve seen a lot that makes me shake my head, lol.

I guess my biggest hope with my rant, was to get people on this blog to realize that fighting about, and degrading the belief systems of others here — Christian, Wicca, Discordian, Asatru, or any others — does nothing to further the main goal of this blog, which is to bring attention to, and stop the abuses perpetuated on others by the cos.

And i seriously sat there for a second and hovered over my keyboard before typing “sir”. i seriously did. but then i thought back on my childhood and 40k and all those weekend tournaments at those hole-in-the-wall comic chops and i thought “nope, i don’t recall a single female player, shame to think of it” and so i figured i was reasonably safe in my presumption. i shall now salt and pepper my foot.

Too late, my friend. You get one. I already got an express envelope with your name on it. You have to be a little faster on the draw when it comes to this stuff, luv.

Thanks, but NO WAY. I’m happy enough as uncle L. Wrong.
