Is @elonmusk Fëanor — a Techno Fëanor? It’s a not so simple question. We explored a little while back the story of gems, rings, AI and power: https://t.co/1ooxZt5vYp

Everyone will be talking about Harry Potter and Downton, but early years Maggie Smith was so so good.

Okay... Let's try this, one more time.

I'm not devaluing anyone's experience of the gaming hobby and I cannot talk to what ever Games Workshop does with their social media or any other decision, even when I worked for them on White Dwarf I was never in a position of any influence; beyond any good will I may have garnered with my work in sharing my joy of the hobby over the years I was there.

The primary point of my post on Tuesday, is don't let the lore get in the way of having fun with your friends. I've been around GW games since Warhammer 1st Ed. I have seen the games and universe around them change, many, many times.

Two examples, when the Custodes were introduced in Rogue Trader, (40K 1st ed) They were just skinny guys in cloaks and masks, armed with a laser rifle in the shape of a lance. And they, never, ever left the Imperial Palace. In many ways, they were never meant to be a playable army and RT was more about skirmish action, then full blown army action.

Another example, that in Warhammer 2nd Ed, you could take a day trip to Lustria and pick up boltguns, that were just laying around on that continent. And the then Amazon's who also inhabited the Lustria had access to a lot of suspicious looking 40K tech.

Wonder what happened to those Amazon's and boltguns appearing in the Warhammer world? Hrmm...

The concept of the gaming lore, which I may have explained poorly, but in I never expected my defense of inclusion and just have fun with your games, to blow up like it did. Is the lore, should be considered a mythology and never an absolute.

We only have to look at our own history for for precedent. As that has changed in its definition and discovery all the time and the worlds Game Workshop created are treated in the same way. Unreliable narration is baked in, as it should be, because the history of the universe is so vast, that something always will be forgotten. This was deliberate to give you, the gamer, a sandbox to shape as you will.

This also gave Games Workshop leeway to introduce cool new things. Remember the Tau did not exist to the 2000's and the Necron's were only given form back in the mid-90's, and they started as eldritch horrors to throw as a surprise third force in your games, and lets not talk about the Squats... Ahem, I mean Votanns 😅

All I wanted to do, is express the core of what I feel is important about the hobby, inclusion is a good thing, and the game is about community, joy, sharing, being social and throwing buckets of dice at your mates as you frag them with an Imperial Guard (sorry, Astra Militarum) firing line.

I hope this explains a little more about my thoughts.

Now go play some games with your mates, paint some toy soldiers, build some terrain from what you find in the dumpster, and have fun!!!

Play well, my friends 👍
