 Clearing out the chaff from the wheat of my link list this week, and it occurred to me that some blogs need more than a quiet pointer. Around here, we believe that ACTUAL PLAY >> game theory, and today I’ve got one of the better AD&D session report blogs...

 Been thinking about this a lot. Ever since watching this movie. Which is great.  A must-watch for anyone interested in learning more about the evolution of tabletop wargaming and/or role-playing games. It’s a deep dive into the roots of the hobby, and surprisingly even-handed.  But I can’t shake the...

Inspired by a deeply cogent comment left at “The Joy of Wargaming”:  Tabletop role playing games, properly played, ARE wargames. Let me take my troll face off and address your comment with more sincerity.  When RPGs branched out from the wargame hobby, they left a lot of money on...

So I ordered a copy of this based on the recommendation of a viewer over on the channel, Justo Perez, and it’s been a real struggle to read. Not because of what’s in it, but because life is hammering away at me with reckless abandon.  Not sure why, but...

 If you’re still on the fence about it, or haven’t given it a chance, The Joy of Wargaming is going like gangbusters. But don’t take my word for it: We’re doing a long-form series detailing a logistical and strategic campaign using the book shown in the picture above.  It’s...

 Time to make a scene! Can’t fight for the throne of the Trossian Empire if you don’t have a continent of Tros to fight on.  So let’s take a look at some of that scatter  This is all 2mm terrain from either Irregular Miniatures or PicoArmor. Irregular trees on...

With three full armies of these tiny little blokes under my belt, I’m finally ready to share some experience with you, dear reader.  By no means an expert, the best I can offer is my experience working with this incredibly small scale. First up, when you spray coat them,...

Behold, the first teaser image of the Totally Not the Austrian faction for the Wars of the Trossian Succession. Horse, foot, and guns. It feels darn good to jump back into the historical saddle after a too long hiatus.  Yeah yeah, imagi-nations are barely historical but whatever.  Let me...

Bust my buttons, I’d done all my planning for Napoleonic wargaming, then went and ordered Seven Years War figures like a complete and utter plank! No worries.  My next big project is a campaign set in the imagi-nation of the Trossian Empire, specifically to help account for my own...
