Dice Like Thunder talks Fandex and homebrew


Rich, Dan and the Chicago crew discuss all things Fandex and touch on Homebrew too. It's a pretty good listen, and has a few nifty ideas put forth.

DLT episode 78

Topics covered are:

#1 Do homebrew codex's have a place in the 40K game scene?
#2 If yes is it something that should be reserved only to upgrade an older codex, a weak army codex or can anything be "personalized"?
#3 How much of a change are you willing to accept; FOC changes (i.e. elite can be taken as troops, etc...), stat line and point changes, or completely new sets of rules?
#4 If someone gets to make their own codex to match their personal game style should be used to balance it off? How much?
#5 What should the source inspiration for a homebrew codex be?
#6 How do you balance a homebrew codex so it doesn't get "over the top"?

Now a warning before you listen; DLT is an adult podcast, there will be fart and other inappropriate jokes.
