Well here we are almost at the end of May and I don’t think I’ve touched my brushes once or even played a game. I did however throw some money at the Robotech Kickstarter project. That will give me plenty of stuff to gripe about not having time to pain…
I’ve not posted much this week because I haven’t had much to post about. That’s not to say I’m not working hard on stuff but nothing has reached the finished stages yet. So rather then attract them negative waves (you know who you are!) I thought I’d o…
Many, many comments and emails to answer… Another day not at my desk till gone 10pm. Lots got done, but not in the way of writing answers I’m afraid. I’ll get onto that first thing tomorrow. Tomorrow is also looking … Continue reading →
I’m down with the Beasts of War today after far too early a start so I’m afraid that you won’t see much in the way of comments from me today. We’ll be recording some videos I daresay, but I’m not … Continue reading →
Wow! What a busy day. Yesterday Quirkworthy had the most page views it’s ever had in one day, which is very heartening. I thought the Alpha might get some interest, but this was wonderful. Thanks to everyone who’s already commented … Continue reading →
The Deadzone Alpha rules are going up today and this post is here for your comments and feedback. The rules are a work in progress and I’ve got a few specific questions that I’d like to ask your views … Continue reading →
Its been a long hard week and I almost didn’t make it. I’ve had a busy work week combined with a bad cold and some terrible night’s sleep, so it was already shaping up to be a pile of shit that I was glad to get behind me. But the icing on the ca…
One of the facets of Deadzone that has surprised a few gamers who’ve played my other games is the idea that it has an i-go-u-go turn system. It’s just not what I do. So why have I done it this … Continue reading →
Very well, thanks. My New Plan to post something every day seems to be working alarmingly smoothly. Although I mentioned it on the 31st of March, I’d actually been following it since the 21st, which means that I’ve managed a post … Continue reading →
Over a thousand backers for Deadzone in under 5 hours. It’s a runaway freight train, going downhill with the wind behind it – and we haven’t even got to the really good stuff yet!
I’m at Salute today and so my trusty bot has posted for me. Wouldn’t want to miss that one post a day thing Mind you, I expect that everyone is either reading the news or watching the streaming reports from … Continue reading →
Salute is the biggest UK gaming show and it’s on this weekend, so I’m a little busy getting things ready for that. Mostly though it’s just getting in the way of me finishing other things, and it’s not the only … Continue reading →
Well folks its my Birthday today and the only good thing I can say about it is that at least I am one step closer to retirement! I’m a whopping forty four years old today… how the hell did that happen? Well my body may feel like its on its …
I have been away for a few days with my wife and youngest daughter on a mini-break to Hastings on the South Coast. Needless to say we were hoping for slightly better weather at this time of year but the cold easterly winds didn’t put us off from gettin…
I’d half-forgotten about them, so when a message from the French postal service landed in my inbox this morning I was a bit confused at first. Google confirmed my schoolboy translation, and my parcel of European obscurity is preparing to … Continue reading →
After early promise I didn’t get much more painting done beyond that which I posted on Saturday. On Sunday and Easter Monday we went out as a family to try and make the most of the Holiday, despite the unseasonal cold weather. So on Sunday we took the …
Well I tried having fixed days for specific types of post and it just ain’t me. I’ve almost certainly missed more than I’ve hit, so that’s not a plan I’m going to pretend to adhere to any more. Instead, I’ll … Continue reading →
Well DreadBall Season 2 is off my desk now, and apart from talking to you guys about all the fun stuff it contains¹ I can shift my focus onto the next project – but what’s that to be? Well the … Continue reading →
I’ve been trying to make enough room to set up a permanent painting area. One of the things that constantly stalls my painting efforts is the fact that I’ve got to clear a space to do any. It may be … Continue reading →
Looking at my stats page I see that I’ve got a current total of 5,000 comments on this site. I have no idea whether 5,000 comments is a lot or a little, but it’s a big round number that keeps … Continue reading →
Frankly, this makes me both sick and angry. Just getting reports that Kev Adams was attacked in his home by a group of knife-wielding burglars on wednesday. He was injured in the assault, though luckily he survived. As the report … Continue reading →
The siren call of 6mm Wargaming could be heard in my house at the weekend. And for one brief moment of utter madness I actually contemplated the idea of selling all my 15mm WWII stuff to make room for a wider range of 6mm terrain and armies. Such …
It’s amazing really, how obvious it is to everyone else that I am in urgent need of more tramodol, viagra, Louis Vuitton bags, Russian brides, anti-ageing everything, and any number of fake Rolexes. Judging by the spam, I really need … Continue reading →
The last of these Trollslaying sonnets isn’t a sonnet at all, though it is still about Slayers. Having done the previous two in one form, I thought I’d try something different and went back to a style that is reminiscent … Continue reading →
Here’s the second sonnet on trollslaying. This one is from the viewpoint of the human, Felix Jaegar of Gotrek & Felix fame. If you don’t know the story, basically he got very drunk with a dwarf in a bar one … Continue reading →
