GW Increases Staffing for LotRJust recently Games Workshop was hiring an assistant designer (I forget the exact title), and it appears they are or have increased their design staff significantly.

Is it the List or the Player?One thing that our Internet community does is push how important the list is. It does it to the extent that many people believe that the list makes the player, and "if I can get my list down, I will be unstoppable". I am here to tell you, its not the list. ( I see a lot of sad faces with that sta…

Forge World Masterclass Vol.2 to be ReleasedWhen I saw this today, my first thought was that I didn't even know there was a Masterclass Vol. 1.
