NYT on Warhammer

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday February 16, 2005 @03:15AM from the who-doesn't-like-skaven? dept.

Spoooon wrote in to mention a New York Times story on Warhammer, old skool table-top wargaming favorite. (registration required) From the article: "In a culture dominated by virtual diversions and mass marketing, Warhammer has acquired an ardent following by being tactile and mysterious, using no advertising at all. Games Workshop, the British company that makes it, has licensed two video-game versions, but it is usually played with three-dimensional figures by opponents who face each other across a real-life table." In related news, registration for GenCon Indy 2005 opened on Monday. Best four days of gaming, and all that.

People like this are the reasons geeks have a bad reputation.

Not all of us waste away our lives playing with gay little pewter figurines in a room full of sweaty soda drinking middle aged, balding, virgin fat asses.
