PATM Online Con 2020 Announcement

Hey, 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.

Episode 162: Matt M - Bedroom Battlefields

This 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.

This 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.

Episode 154: Leandros (Parabellum Wargames)

This 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.

This 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.
