when i play i like to play maelstrom and have as much as fun as possible. i dont care about randomness, it is part of the fun of playing a tabletop game.

i understand people have their own preference, but to say RAW is stupid, is in itself, stupid.

I'm sorry, did you play in a GT where unbound was allowed? 'Cause I certainly have and it's bonkers as all get out.

Don't forget that ITC applies to chance to the D table in close combat... Still one and done if you get that happy 6!

I still agree with Brandon that ranged D is the real issue. I have also found that invisibility is still crazy difficult to deal with, even with the ITC changes, as well as a "6" on D being 3 wounds is very powerful.

well i said that "with the exception of unbound"

If ITC is good enough for tournaments, just implement it as is. It evolves via a large audience and there doesn't have to be a local pick-n-choose of what's legal and what isn't. (removing need of 140+ posts across multiple threads)

Then what would we do while we eat popcorn?

I would argue we need 140+ posts more than we need an FAQ

But yeah, good point.

Thought I'd post a heads up... Frontline Gaming mentioned on their podcast that they're going to have an ITC poll next week. The big topics are the new Tau Hunter Contingent and tank shock.

Unlike previous polls, only people with an ITC ranking can vote. You'll have a ranking if you've attended an ITC tournament this year.

ITC rankings...
