On Warhammering Again

So, I'm getting back in to Warhammer, the table top battle game for grown up well paid twelve year olds and their children everywhere.

( Cut for nerdy goodness )

Measuring Sticks Ahoy.

On Dystopian Wars

In other table top gaming news I have arranged a demonstration game at my new favourite shop of a table top game called Dystopian Wars. This is a steam punk table top wargame mainly focused on naval and ariel battles. It looks fun and will hopefully fill the gap left by the demise of Battlefleet Gothic (Games Workshops space based naval table top game.)

The game is set in the late 19th century but one with an alternative history and the discovery of some new technology which has provoked a general world war. it has a steampunk vibe. There are giant robots and airships.

One of the factions is the Royal Australians. G'day mate, I'm Admiral Bruce.

The demo will be on the 13th of June and I'll be being demo'd to by one of the chief writers of the game. Which will be cool.

If I like it again I think my strategy will be to pick up workable forces for a few factions so I can play at home with guests.

There seems to be a vibrant gaming community in Edinburgh - I think I just need to find a way in.

On Amanda Palmercurious

I was passing Waterstone's yesterday lunch time and noticed that Amanda Palmer was signing books.

Knowing that a significant proportion of my regular readers are fans of Ms Palmer I thought I'd pop my head in and see what was what.

There were a lot of people waiting to see her. The queue started on the ground floor by the door and went all the way up to and then around the second floor. Palmer looked to being very warm and friendly with her fans.

She looks more like Tamsin Greig in person than I realised.

I bought a book by someone else and pottered off to purchase some socks.
