Editorial

EDITORIAL

an you think of a worse summer than the one just gone? I certainly

can’t remember one being so un-summer-y in a long time. It was a

real annoyance as I enjoy the summer a lot. Its ironic really that way

back in issue one I mentioned the seasons and how it affects gaming. My bet

is that this summer saw more games played than usual due to the ridiculous

amount of rain that we had here in the UK?

The Watchman Tournament was held not too long ago and it was an amazing

event - one that was enjoyed by all party’s involved as far as I could see. Held

in Warhammer World and organised by the incomparable Simon Tull of

Carnage Games, the whole event went off without a hitch (except my quest to

ind the Jury’s Inn Nottingham). It was such a success that it’ll be happening

again next year with any luck. I thought organising the Watchman was a

logistical nightmare but seeing how hard Simon worked really put that into

a new perspective. It made me feel very lazy about procrastinating over

another issue.

That all being said, this issue builds on the creativity theme I mentioned in

the last editorial and goes further another step - we inally see Warhammer

Fantasy Roleplay in these hallowed pages, something we should have done

from the beginning!

‘Til next time!
