As a teen I 50/50 played and programmed on my Commodore 64. After that, I didn't play much apart from a 2 year period in which I played a lot of Star Trek: Birth Of The Federation. Now, at 42, I started playing big time. I play quickies (CoD:MW2 multi-player), more involved games (SupCom2) and, behold, tabletop wargaming (if you thought computer gaming eats your time and money, think again). I'll die with a game controller or polyhedral dice in my hand, possibly while looking up stats or rules.

Games Workshop Goes After Fan Site 174

mark.leaman writes "BoingBoing has a recent post regarding Games Workshop's aggressive posturing against fan sites featuring derivative work of their game products. 'Game publisher and miniature manufacturer Games Workshop just sent a cease and desist letter to boardgamegeek.com, telling them to remove all fan-made players' aids. This includes scenarios, rules summaries, inventory manifests, scans to help replace worn pieces — many of these created for long out of print, well-loved games...' As a lifelong hobby gamer of table, board, card and miniature games, I view this as pure heresy. It made me reject the idea of buying any Games Workshop (read Warhammer) products for my son this Christmas. Their fate was sealed, in terms of my wallet, after I Googled their shenanigans. In 2007 they forbid Warhammer fan films, this year they shut down Vassal Modules, and a while back they went after retailers as well. What ever happened to fair use?"
