I liked them too in the beginning (esp. MageKnight, the first game of that genre, where you coul duse some of the miniatures for “classical” FRP-gmaes as well). But then, it all turned into this Magic-like-“If you don’t have the latest edition your forces are about worthless”…. Money-making… nothing wrong with making money, but i don’t have that much money that i can spent on things that are obsolete in such a short time.
I hate to see that WoC does that with the Core rule books of DnD 3rd Ed. as well… putting out a new “corrected, you really need it, it’s great, new rules and all” print of these books…
Either that sucks, or it sucks that i and most of my roleplaying fellows don’t have the money to “upgrade” that fast :)
