Book Description
It never seems like the right time to start a business. The idea to start our own company first cropped up during one of our many ‘beer and a board game’ sessions after work at our flat. And when Steve began writing reviews of board games for Games & Puzzles magazine, we all got even more interested in the idea. So, one day, we did. It was January 1975. Since then, Games Workshop has grown into a cornerstone of the UK gaming industry. From the launch of Dungeons and Dragons from the back of a van, to creating the Fighting Fantasy series, co-founders Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson tell their remarkable story for the first time. An initial order of only six copies was enough for Games Workshop to secure exclusive rights to sell Dungeons and Dragons in the whole of Europe. Hobbyists themselves, Steve and Ian’s passion for the game soon spread and in 1977 they opened the first Games Workshop store. They went on to become bestselling authors and created an entirely new genre of interactive stories. Dice Men is more than just the story of an iconic shop which has changed gaming for ever, it's an insight into the birth of an industry. Games Workshop has grown from its humble beginnings to become a global company listed on the London Stock Exchange, a FTSE 250 company with a market capitalisation of more than £3.5 billion. Dice Men is the story of the rollercoaster early years.

Book Description
The Old Ones came to the Warhammer World by means of a mystical Gateway at the North Pole that allowed their silver ships to cross the endless sea of space. They used their arcane technology to erect fantastic cities & restructure the environment. They ushered in a new age of enlightenment & civilization & were as gods to the primitive races of the Warhammer World. Then came the Great Catastrophe: the Gateway collapsed & its failure unleashed a force that not even the Old Ones could control. The incredible energy that had sustained the portal fell in on itself, tearing the fabric of reality asunder. The North Pole became a thoroughfare into the world of Daemons & the peaceful, ordered world of the Old Ones was crushed beneath a seething tidal wave of Chaos. The World of Warhammer is an encyclopedic exploration of this world where the good prodigies of the Old Ones struggle against the Chaos forces. The lands, races, & cultures of the known world, their magic, warriors, fantastic beasts, & strange creatures, & their histories, greatest battles, & most famous heroes & villains are all chronicled here along side hundreds & hundreds of full-color & black-and-white illustrations.
