Paint All The Minis Paint Ramble

This week I talk to Smiddy once again, thats Dave Schmidt for those who didnt listen to our last show. Smiddy wanted to talk about why he loves Five Parsecs from Home. Thats it, he loves it. We meander along and have a ramble chat about the things that occur to us. It is also the first reported usage of my actual paint mixer in a show. Usually I shake my paints by hand in the show, you may hear this, you deffo hear me tinkling my paint brush in my cup for sure, but this is a bonafide hearing of the electric mixer! I saw the opportunity and I took it! Hoping for the Oscar for best natural...

This week I talk to Peter, who is a PATM discord member, fellow nerd, and also he has taken the dive into writing his own rules. I wont spoil any of the chat here but it was fun talking with him and I am sure I speak for all the listeners when we wish him all the best with his rule sets. In the chat Peter brought up sustainable gaming. As I come up on my first decade in gaming it is a good opportunity to take stock of what I have learned and why I am still in love with it. Back in episode 150 through 153 we talked about how people may hobby effectively and sustainably during our life, I am...

This week I talk to Alex from the Storm of Steel Youtube channel. Alex puts together content for games he loves, often playing solo, and his Youtube channel is one I enjoy. If you like the cut of his jib, despite him being a Yorkshireman, then check out his channel. Regardless of any Youtube channel he is an interesting guy to speak to and we spent a good chunk of time talking about Lard games, the cult of lard. Games from Two Fat Lardies. I love Lard games, a lot. You should check those out too. PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/vy5CduX7

This week I talk once again to Mr Stephen Baker the creator of Heroquest, Space Crusade, and Battle Masters to name just three! Stephen and I spoke first in Ep 257, in that episode we talked about his formative steps in the hobby and his first steps into the hobby industry, so if you havent listened to that yet then I recommend going back as it really sets the tone for this chat where we predominantly speak about Heroquest. Heroquest is the starting point for so many of todays hobbyists and it is a brilliant example of so many iconic things coming together in one place. I wont spoil any...

Ep 263: Non conventional play time? (Matthew Mc)

Paint All The Minis Paint Ramble

This week I talk to Matthew from the Bedroom Battlefields Podcast about playing games at what we would call “non traditional times”. I would say that usually when we think of tabletop gaming we would think of playing at a club night during the week, or on a weekend afternoon. I personally play early am on saturday morning, Matthew likes to play then too and so we had a chin wag about it, and here are the noises we made! Its a bit of a tiddler this week, that wont be the first time Matthew has heard something like that, but the show is quite short so I added an extra long post ramble ramble...

County Road Z is a co op post apocalyptic game, it sounds super fun and it is one on my christmas/birthday list. I’m not going to go into the show more as it is nice to just listen to it unfold as we go. PATM Discord Link: https://discord.gg/eHYTf4Z7t4
