Summary

Episode 176 of The Independent Characters is finally here! We bring you nearly three hours of content... and yes, as some of you had feared, we have a slight echo in the new Astronomicon. We will have that fixed before next episode though and it isn't terrible.

This episode we are discussing the "Pillars" of the Warhammer 40k Hobby. These are the components that, in our mind, make up the hobby as Games Workshop sees it. It's an episode full of opinions and deeper thoughts. We hope you enjoy!

We then take a look and give our opinions on a recent New York Times article titled "In praise of mediocrity". An interesting article about hobbies and what drives us.

We hope you enjoy the show!
