	~~'''Jervis Johnson''' is a~~ [[Games Workshop]] ~~employee~~. ~~He hates people who try to win at games, thinks gamers should only play narrative battles, and was the mastermind behind Age of Sigmar~~.		[[Games Workshop]] Employee. Absolutely mutha fucking awesome.

	~~In Citadel Journal issue 48, he argued the following points:~~		He rides around standing on top of a [[thunderhawk]] wearing [[power armour]] and playing a guitar.

			His skill at writing rules and [[fluff]] are so great that they have shattered the boundaries of reality allowing him to write rules that actually affect real life (he has made himself WS BS Attack Initiative Leadership Strength and Toughness 10).

	~~— Tournament gamers~~ only ~~“play~~ to ~~win” and are Win-At-All-Costs~~		He only allows [[Matt Ward]] to continue existing because it amuses him.

	~~— Tournament gaming~~ and ~~tournaments “destroy what the hobby is really all about”~~		Wrote a tonne of the specialist games. Has a column in [[White Dwarf]]. He has given himself a holograph rule so GW won't keep bothering him with questions like "what rules should we give this?", "are we doing this right?" and "why are you so awesome?" while he's on one of his global thunderhawk tours righting wrongs and being cool.

	~~— Tournament gaming~~ is ~~directly opposed to painting~~		He is one of [[The Four Gods of GW]]. Actually a lovely bloke who's been treated pretty shabbily by Games Workshop, probably because he sounds like an under appreciated butler character in a P.G. Wodehouse novel.

	~~— Tournament style gaming is unimaginative~~		He and [[Phil Kelly]] seem to be the only GW employees that actually like the [[Eldar]]. And they are the most [[Matt Ward\|competent]] [[C.S.Goto\|ones]]. Proof that intelligent people actually understand the [[Eldar]] and are capable of looking at both sides of a conflict, like any [[Reasonable Marines\|reasonable]] person would.

			Interestingly, it was Jervis who revealed that the original idea behind deliberately obscuring the origins of two Legions of [[Space Marines]] (remember, in Rogue Trader, we had names for all 20) was threefold: a reference to the Teutoberg Disaster, as befits the Rome-themed Imperium, an opportunity for new hobbyists to create their own custom Legions for [[Epic]] and [[Apocalypse]] battles (which could potentially see more than a thousand Marines' worth of points employed) (although anyone who tried presenting their fluff for a missing legionne on [[/tg/]] would get their shit righteously fucked up by [[fa/tg/uy]]s, and to create a sort of 'holy grail' of untouchable fluff which no Black Library author could discuss, thus lending some mystique to the otherwise fucking goofy 2nd Edition fluff. Seriously, there was a canon character named [[Star Wars\|Obi-wan]].
	~~Here’s how Jervis thinks the game should be played:~~


	~~— Scenario based games and campaigns are the pinnacle of the hobby~~

	~~— Scenario and campaign games have no need for point values or pre-set win conditions~~

	~~— Points and even match-ups are the cause and death of “casual play” and scenario and campaign based gaming for the wider community~~


	Horrifyingly, Games Workshop listened to this madness. The result was Age of Sigmar, where everyone is a special snowflake tactical genius just for agreeing to play the game, because no one's feelings should be hurt for not having enough skill. After the titanic outcry from the player-base, Games Workshop did a 180 on this with the release of the General's Handbook. However, they continue to employ Johnson, and he continues to be their Head of Development...

	~~To be fair, not everything Johnson touches turns to derp. For instance~~, it was Jervis who revealed that the original idea behind deliberately obscuring the origins of two Legions of [[Space Marines]] (remember, in Rogue Trader, we had names for all 20) was threefold: a reference to the Teutoberg Disaster, as befits the Rome-themed Imperium, an opportunity for new hobbyists to create their own custom Legions for [[Epic]] and [[Apocalypse]] battles (which could potentially see more than a thousand Marines' worth of points employed, although anyone who tried presenting their fluff for a missing legionne on [[/tg/]] would get their shit righteously fucked up by [[fa/tg/uy]]s), and to create a sort of 'holy grail' of untouchable fluff which no Black Library author could ~~fuck up~~, thus lending some mystique to the otherwise fucking goofy 2nd Edition fluff.
