I actually had a discussion with a friwnd of mine who introduced me to the Kings of War system. Now im not mentioning KOW to get into a debate bout if its any good or not but the fact is i played the game and aside from the stuff you hear about often such as it being balanced and easy to play one of the major things i found enjoyable.is the game is not so dice dependent and have mechanics that dont rely on dice rolls to function.
The point im trying to make is. Randomness is great. It adds flavor to our games. But lots dice rolls or relying on dice rolls for every little thing dosent alway make for a fun game. KOW and other systems have discovered this and in my oppinion retain plenty of flavor maybe GW could learn a little by toning down the impact dice have in certain areas of the game.
