SG Humor

Hi All,

I found this in the newsgroups and thought it was too funny not to
share...

Exerpted from Jane's Guide to Wargamers, 4th ed., regarding the
differences between Stargrunt players and Warhammer 40,000 players.

SG players want a game that looks and feels like a historical,
  but with rayguns.
40k players want a game that looks and feels like a RPG,
  but with miniatures.

SG players believe that realism is very important; the lack
  thereof makes WH40k a bad game.
40k players believe that drama is very important; the lack
  thereof makes Stargrunt a bad game.

The ideal of realism, to a SG player, is of course the SG universe.
The ideal of drama, to a 40k player, is of course the 40k universe.

On a weekend when they aren't gaming, SG players may be found
  calculating the instability of the ringworld or the specific
  density of the BOLA.
On a weekend when that aren't gaming, 40k players may be found
  watching the latest WWF special on pay-per-view.

SG players reject any game that isn't strictly realistic because
  it goes against their hard SF fanboy tendencies.
40k players reject any game that isn't like theirs because GW
  tells them to. :]

SG players don't like Star Wars because Darth Vader isn't hard SF.
40k players don't like Star Wars because Luke is a wuss.
(incidentally, Legions of Steel players like Star Wars lots,
 but wonder why Threepio doesn't get to kick any ass)

SG players read lots of Heinlien & Asimov, but probably very little
  Hemingway.
40k players read lots of Wells & Lovecraft, but probably very little
  Hemingway.

It is a bad idea to question a SG player concerning his gaming
  prefrences.
It is a bad idea to question a 40k player concerning his gaming
  prefrences.
