I've been playing D&D and AD&D consistently since 1979, and I have never played or DMed a character of 20th level. Highest level PCs I've had in my game:
· Cleric—16th
· Druid—13th
· Fighter—17th
· Paladin—12th
· Ranger—13th
· Magic-User—16th
· Thief—19th
· Assassin—14th
I agree mostly, They are flying, they both pay their taxes and their staff windfalls. They manufacture in UK rather than China. They have principles. All on some bonkers IP
Are They ip heavy handed? yes. white dwarf better before it was a brochure. Yes. Ai stance is fan service
Warhammer isn't too expensive- it's cheaper than any other major IP game.
GW aren't a terrible company- they pay all staff bonuses, they manufacture in the UK, they are anti-AI art.
