1986 Called, Will You Roll Out? - Transformers Core Rulebook Review

It's pretty well known to everyone, but I know TikTok is spying on me. Here I am, reviewing Renegade Game Studios' Transformers The Roleplaying Game, and so I've been talking about it with friends. Suddenly, over the past week, I've started getting clips of various Transformers cartoons and movies in my Tik Tok feed. I'm onto you TikTok, you aren't fooling anyone. Then again, I'm enjoying the nostalgia, so maybe it's working as designed?

Last time, I talked about my first "real" Warhammer 40K tenth edition game. In that game, I learned how important movement and placement was for my Imperial Knights. Clearly, having had my butt handed to me so severely, I would never make those mistakes again.

Stompy Knights Are A Go....Or Maybe They Aren't? Imperial Knights Battle Report

Well here we are, over two months into Warhammer 40K tenth edition. If you listen to reddit and the competitive scene, there are so many bugs/errors in the game that GW needs to fix IMMEDIATELY! Do they need to be fixed? I dunno, I don't pretend to be a game designer in my free time. But I did figure that this would be a good opportunity to fire up my Battle Reports again.
