and way cheeper than PC gaming.
His main hobby is PC gaming. He has an old laptop that he mostly plays Terraria with. It was about $5 and has so far kept him entertained for about 2 years, 7 days a week. Unbelievable value for money. Probably the best investment I've ever made!
He also does a bit of Minecraft and World of Tanks, both cheap/free.
But I appreciate that in the next year or two he going to want to play games that require a proper computer, which is then going to get expensive.

Why is everyone making a big deal about cost. $300-500 startup with $50-80 on going for a hobby isn't bad at all. That is almost exactly the same as a PS4, and way cheeper than PC gaming.
If you don't need to buy every new game immediately PC gaming is far, far cheaper.
It isn't $300-500 to start with $50-80 ongoing. It is $300-500 to start with $100-150 every time you want to add a unit to your army. You need a specific sized army to be competitive. The costs of the books and the new releases adds up too.
Ahh, competitive, that is the difference. I thought we were talking about building a small army and playing some small games at the hobby shop. I used to play MTG with a group of friends all though high school, but it slowly ended up being a battle of the pocket book, and less about casual gaming so I eventually just quit.
Rarely does this not end up being the situation though - unless the group is mostly closed (little to no outsiders) and the group agrees to a strict spending limit.
While not always, often the best armies do require the best pocket book.

Pretty much. There is some skill involved but often to match point wise everyone is going to be spending a lot of money.

There was a Warmhammer40K Customizable Card Game that I played ages ago (the original one). I normally purchased 6 boxes on minor sets and at least a case on major sets.. damn talk about expensive. I think it was $300+ every 2-3 months...

I'm playing a deathwatch campaign right now. I love the 40k universe. I wish the new Total War were 40k instead of Warhammer fantasy.

I've ran a couple of Dark Heresy games. Love the setting and fluff.

I played a lot of Top Secret when I was around 6 or 7 years old. It was either similar to D&D or actually a D&D ruleset. I'm not entirely sure it was a really long time ago.

There was a squad based game I played several years ago - the game itself was ancient! The typical squad had like 8 figures, so the costs were very reasonable. The idea was campaigns.
-
@wirestyle22 I wish our group had the numbers to run a deathwatch campaign, although we are looking at a co-op X-Wing campaign. Hopefully someone will get the ball rolling...
Fantasy was my first baby, and it killed me when they killed it with AoS. I'm loving everything I see about Total War Warhammer.

We actually have people trying to get in and we just don't have the room. Past 6 people becomes unmanageable imo

@wirestyle22 What I would give for 3 people incl myself...

I saw X-Wing at PAX. It seemed pretty cool. @coliver was there as well maybe he will chime in. I found this really awesome indie game called Pixel Glory that I bought. I think it's a great game for people that don't want to play a really complicated long game but still want to have fun.

It's amazing that these two young kids made it. I met them there. Very impressed.

This was my first year at PAX! I saw Pixel Glory, didn't try it. Sounds like I should've.

Yeah. It's awesome. I also played this game called Ladies and Gentlemen with a group of 8. It's team based (so 4 teams). The men make money on the stock market and the women spend it to buy things for their wardrobe. You win if you're the prettiest girl at the ball. All of the men played the wives and the women played the husbands. The RP was absolutely hysterical.
Side note: I regret not meeting some of the people on here but I had such a big group I literally didn't have time to do anything else.

Especially when you play it with a lot of funny people. I had such a blast at PAX this year.

We played a ton of games this year. Red Dragon Inn was a quick, fun game not sure I'd pick it up but overall not bad.

I did play warhammer 40k briefly as a kid. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was well off that was heavily into it. He gave me a pretty damn impressive army to start off with. I played it for a few months and never played again. Time and finding people to play was difficult.
I am trying to learn how to tie my own flies now, but I dont even have time for that.
