I do lots of math because I enjoy it, but also because I haven't played a real game since before I started college! I'm what you might call an "armchair general" I suppose. Trying to change that, but still. Moving on.<br /><br />As has been said, being authoritative isn't everything. Most of the authors that I really enjoy reading the most (Brent, MVB, TKE, Dethtron, SandWyrm, Kennedy, Nikephros, Archnomad, really I could go on and on) I enjoy reading because the writing is good. I know literally nothing about any of the non-40k content on this blog, on Bring of Victory, on Skavenblight, etc. but I keep coming back and checking them out every day because they're all so entertaining to read. <br /><br />At the end of the day, it's all about style and personality. From where I'm sitting, you've got that on lockdown.<br /><br />P.S. - I thought I had been trying to explain my math pretty well.

What validates information from one source v. another. Now somebody should write a piece about that.

The trick is then to be interesting enough for someone else to care!sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-11909185364861888592010-11-01T11:31:22.368-05:002010-11-01T11:31:22.368-05:00Nikephoros: You're welcome.

You may not be mathhammering out the most point efficient units in an army list or quoting rules like a priest quotes the bible, but you offer interesting and unique views on things. For me it's refreshing. I read my fair share of authoritative blogs but I read them for the information they have to offer, usually nothing more. I come here to see what new adventures you're up to and to read something with personality infused. Keep it up.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-11950285970296520052010-11-01T09:27:03.146-05:002010-11-01T09:27:03.146-05:00Many thanks for the shout out. :)

I do know a lot about several games. I am a d20 player (mostly 3e and the miniatures game) and a fanatic Space Hulk player, but I am just getting into 40k, so I take other people's leads, and will worry about finding my own niche as I go.<br /><br />Like I said, nothing wrong with it.CounterFetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273543429522256725noreply@blogger.com
