Bought it. Read it. LOVED it. And I have no intention of ever writing any rules.

Great preastley you re my hero

[@lpmorgan90]

I need this book

[@leonleese4919]

Most interesting! Did Amazon recommend it to you?😊

[@jonkthelizardman5491]

would PDFs be a good way to start with rulebooks and army books?

[@jeremy1392]

I'd say so, they're cheaper than the proper books, although there's something nice about the smell of book paper and the heft of a cover, and the ability to use actual physical bookmarks. I'd say if you're just getting into a system, pirate the rules and test-play a few games to see if you like it, or play with a friend, but if you like the system, support the author and buy it. That's what I did with 40k 7th edition and fantasy 8th edition, and it worked great.

Rick Priestley wrote great things - He was one of the two main authors for "Realm of Chaos : The lost and the Damned" - First edition Rogue Trader published 1990. Realm of Chaos : The lost and the Damned can be read on Scribd, bought on eBay. eBay has hefty cheaper.prices for Realm of Chaos : The lost and the Damned, so Scribd is cheaper. The Emperor's shaman origin was on pages 174 to 188. I'm getting Realm of Chaos : The lost and the Damned for Christmas on eBay - its being shipped to my house, I bought it. So excited!

[@steverutledge495]

Unspeakable Gaming ... Lost and the damned was an amazing book. I bought the original from GW Sheffield for £18 when it first came out in 1990.
