This week, I talk to Alex of the Alex Paints Tiny Things YouTube channel. We have the usual rambly chat about his hobby history, likes, and highlights. We dig into a big of competitive painting, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am pretty sure I mention it in the show, but I generalise Scottish people a little in the show. I just wanted to ensure that I mention that this is in jest, and I am totally and fully aware that you can’t generalise people; it was just a lighthearted bit of banter. I don’t think it was too savage, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

We spoke back in episode 230 so if you haven’t listened to that one you may want to as this is a continuation of that chat and we delve into what has been happening in recent times with the paint line, and also a lot of chat into the future. It was another fun chat with Roger and it was nice of him to give up another hour of his time to chat to us, thanks Rog.

He has a new book coming out, the first in a trilogy, next Tuesday 24th of June, so we talk about that and also some general nuts and bolts about narrative creation. Twas a fine chat, we hope you enjoy it.

Read MoreThis week I speak to Troy who runs the awesome Sonic Sledgehammer Studio Youtube channel. Troy is a first timer here on PATM so we do the deep dive into his backstory and spend some time pecking in parts that jumped out during the chat. I deeply enjoy Troy’s work on his channel, I think what he tries to achieve is fantastic along with his attitude, mentality, and outlook towards our hobby. He is a great personality and the hobby is richer because of people like him being in it.
Read MoreThis week, I speak to Andy Hobday. Andy has had a variety of roles in a variety of companies, and it gives him a great breadth of experience that he brings to bear in the differing roles he has had within the hobby industry.
Read MoreThis week, I speak to Will Rahman-daultrey the writer of Forbidden Psalm and The Last War, amongst other things. Wont spoil any of the natural chat that occurs, but what I will say is that the richness of Will’s own life, his perspective, his experiences, and his mentality has leaked all over his rule sets! From my view, anyway. I think he has written games that, when you listen to his ethos and spirit really echo the essence of life in some ways.
Read MoreThis week I speak to Jon Dawson, just a regular hobby nerd like you and me. I really enjoyed talking to Jon and listening to his experience and insight. He’s the sort of amazing stand-up guy you’d want to share a pint with and play some games with, it’s nailed on that you’d have a grand old time.
Read MoreThis week, I speak to Colin Stone, the Finance Director of Warlord Games. We have a long and meandering chat about the things that occur to us. I won’t spoil any of it here; you can get stuck in as it pops up, but it’s filled with wine, women, and financial accounting!
Thanks to Colin for taking the time to speak to us. We hope you all enjoy the show.

We pick up from the chat we had in episode 228, go and listen to that one if you haven’t already, so you are up to speed before this one. In this show, we talk about his YouTube channel, we talk about how he loves it when people call him Randy, his love of Moonstone, and much, much more!
Read MoreThis week I talk once again to the amazing Mike Tunez of Firelock Games. Firelock develops awesomeness. Their games are fun and engaging, from their settings to their mechanics, and all their interactions with us. I find them amazing. One of the biggest reasons why I love this hobby is that where in other hobbies you wouldn’t dream of or have access to the big cheese at the top. For example, you wouldn’t dream of just contacting the guy who made Ping, the golfing company, but in this hobby, people like Mike actively seek interactions with us, it’s pretty special.
