Read MoreHey! Here is the TLDL (Too Long Didn't Listen) version of the PATM Online Con announcement and info as of March 15 2020
Read MoreHey, PATM are having a convention to assuage all the negativity of travel/mass gathering bans which have cancelled the conventions in 2020. We also want to give people who may not have experienced a convention before the opportunity to share in the magical experience.
Here you can listen to my thoughts, reasons, and intent for the PATM Online Con and we can all see how it turns out as we get closer to April 11th & 12th.
Read MoreThis episode I talk to Matthew McLean of Bedroom Battlefields, a hobby blog chronicling an average Joe’s return to the hobby after the seemingly natural nerd hiatus from leaving school to late twenty something. I find Matthew to be a very interesting individual who doesnt toot his own horn enough. The amount of interesting things he has done quickly stacks up and we didn’t get a chance to talk about a number of them, we need a subsequent chat I think.
Read MoreHey, Seeming as I have been displaced from China due to Corona and am struggling to record right now I thought I would release a previously patreon only episode! I hope you are all good and staying healthy! If you are generous enough to support us via patreon then it allows us to do more stuff! https://www.patreon.com/paintalltheminis
Read MoreThis episode marks pretty much 3 years of podcasting shenanigans and hijinx, it has been a fun journey so far. 161 fun episodes with a massive assortment of guests from interesting backgrounds has been a rip-roaring ride and it has been great to share in the awesome stories. Thanks to everyone who has been listening in whether this is your first episode or your 161st, we’ve come a long way and it has been a pleasure to spend my time with you all.
Read MoreThis episode I speak once again to Travis Hiett, an integral member of the PATM family and also creator of the Tabletop CP YouTube channel. We have a ‘why I love’ podcast and he talks about all of the reasons why he loves Chain of Command, the WW2 game from Too Fat Lardies. I always love talking to Travis, and I also always enjoy the why I love podcasts, so this was a double treat, we hope you enjoy!
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Tom Gilbert who is driving the wargaming scene in China. As always we talk about his personal history and journey plus also how that is driving his current crusade of creating a tournament scene here in mainland China.
Read MoreHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, Merry Christmas if you celebrate this sort of thing. This is the PATM Christmas Special episode so waddle on over to your hobby table and chow down on some painting as opposed to all that turkey! Mr Fish and I have a little Christmas quiz followed by another ramble into the hobby from our perspective, value.
Read MoreHey Hoooooo Christmas Ramblers! This episode I chew the fat with Davie C about all the reasons why he loves Nemesis, the awesome board game including miniatures by Awaken Realms. I hope you enjoy the show!
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Dave Oliver who is not only an avid miniature enthusiast like you and me, but he also volunteers for an organization called Models for Heroes. As you will hear in the show we go through Dave’s personal history but we also ask why he decided to volunteer with this charity. Models for Heroes runs therapeutic sessions for forces veterans & emergency services personal in need of some activity that will allow them to redirect themselves into a more positive place.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Gary K of Genesys Games. Gary ran a successful kickstarter recently for his game The Genesys Project.
Read MoreThis week I speak to Leandros of Parabellum Wargames. Parabellum recently fully released their tabletop fantasy game Conquest, The Last Argument of Kings. I mention this throughout the show but one of the overriding features of this tabletop massed battle game is how developed it appears to be on its initial release. Also which is really refreshing is that they went straight to market and did not crowd fund. There is nothing wrong with crowd funding per say but it is refreshing to see a game eschew this and go through more traditional methods. Alessio Cavatore of River Horse is the chief rules writer and in a pretty competitive market there are enough things in the game to make it stand out.
Read MoreThis week is the 4th and final episode in our mini series where we go into greater depth in what we feel we mean with the term sustainable gaming. Remember this term was created to try to get to grips with the hobby more and to give us pause for thought in regard to what we get and what we want out of the hobby to make it the most enjoyable as possible.
Read MoreWelcome to another Sustainable Gaming podcast where Mr Fish and I delve a little deeper into the concept. This week we focus on painting regularly and also how the hobby may positively or negatively effect our physical health.
Another great chat for me personally and I hope you take something from it also.
Read MoreThis episode I catch back up with Mr Fish as we delve a little deeper into sustainable gaming now we have set the scene in episode 1.
We look closer at the idea of not allowing ourselves to buy too much stuff and also how this hobby may positively or negatively effect our personal mental health.
Read MoreThis episode is the first of 4 episodes that will be released over the next month on the topic of sustainable gaming. Doing something in a sustainable fashion is something that I am incredibly interested in, along with why people do the things they do, plus also the external and internal pressures we put on ourselves in our personal and professional lives.
