It’s Story time! This past weekend Brad sat down and taught his wife the basics of 40k’s rules. She’s been hobbying for over a year now, but until this point she’s yet to play a game of 40k. Brad goes through how their first game went and how you should approach teaching the rules to a new player. Everyone's been a new player at some point, so listen in to see if you were taught the same way and how to introduce other new players to the game!   00:15 - Intro 01:09 - Story Time! 41:41 - Outro   Show Links: Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f     Our Producers for April: Robert Bentura Taleno Daniel McKinnon   Our Biggest Supporters: JeFF Stumpo Cube Cobra Squerson Phizzled Andrew Pope   Our Supporters: Tom Cory Graham  LordFluff

In this episode, Brad and Eric make a case for why GW should make the 40k rules free and how GW could implement it.

What would be the downsides to these changes? How could GW itself profit from it?
