This is a marathon podcast clocking in at over 2 hours and thats simply down to the diverse and interesting journey that Dave has been on during his hobby life time. From discovering the hobby, to working within it, to moving countries because of it Dave has had an amazing ride so far and it was a pleasure to ramble about it for a while.
Read MoreIn this episode I speak to Colin of Battle Systems. Battle Systems are a company who produce high quality card terrain along with the brilliant Core Space 28mm sci fi skirmish game. Core space is a wham bam, one game in a can game with all you need including all of the high quality card terrain AND a neoprene mat too. Its a really good game in my opinion and one I love to play.
Read MoreThis episode I speak once again to Joe Veltre of Gods Eye Games and we talk about his upcoming western skirmish game Gunslingers Paradise. Joe needs no introduction, he’s a jabroni that I dont seem able to shake off so when I feel I need a charity photo call to stay fresh and stay down with the hillbilly community then its always good to have Joe on. I hope you enjoy the chat we have, its always fun talking with Joe.

Read MoreThis episode I speak to Chris Birch of Modiphius Entertainment. Modiphius are best known to me for their Fallout and Elder Scrolls skirmish games. They have taken two brilliant video game IP’s and turned them into tabletop skirmish games. Fallout works with resin minis but The Elder Scrolls games has introduced a line of plastic fantasy minis which although I found a little fiddly to put together, now I have constructed and primed will make excellent additions to my fantasy skirmish collection.

We talk about how it may relate to our hobby and especially with sharing on social media. We aren't qualified to coherently talk about this, it is just our ideas/thoughts/suggestions and how it occurs to us as it occurs to us.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Lon Weiss of Brigade Games. Brigade games offer a wide variety of minis both from their own commissioned ranges to other notable companies in one place. Lon and I have a wide ranging chat from his regular day job, into how Brigade Games came into being with brief forays into other areas.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Jens of Tabletop Generals. Tabletop Generals is a YouTube channel which is charting the course of World War 2 from very beginning to very end via bat reps and hobby content. It was a pleasure speaking to Jens and I had fun reliving my silly German sayings, along with some very deep conversation about the Waffen SS from his German point of view. I need to mention it here in the intro and I dont want it to potentially offend anyone, so if you dont want to hear about our opinions on man’s potential to do not very nice things to others then this might be a show to miss. It is my opinion that anyone is capable of doing anything, either amazing or terrible, depending on the circumstances and situation. I am not condoning war crime, or any crime of any sort, or celebrating it, I dont even think anything we talk about is controversial in anyway, but I just thought I’d mention it here. It is my own and Jen’s unqualified opinions on it at this point in time…Whew! I made that seem a lot more serious than what it is, but there you go.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Restless Kaiser of Modelling for Advantage. Modeling for Advantage is a Youtube Channel putting together battle reports for various games along with other content for our viewing pleasure from a number of different people. I enjoy the level of banter and hijiinx that goes on during their games, I always have a chuckle watching it and I’d heartily recommend you having a look see.

Read MoreThis episode I speak once again to James Baldwin of The Drowned Earth. If you want to know about him, his history in general you can delve into the archive and pick up episode 9 and episode 17 plus a smattering of other appearances here and there.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mat Hart the co founder of Steam Forged Games, we were very humbled when Steamforged decided to attend the recent PATMOCON event, our online convention and that was my first experience of talking to anyone from there. I have really enjoyed every conversation I have had with Mat he comes across as an interesting and straight forward chap, with a great insight into the industry and how he puts together games.
Read MoreThis episode I speak to Mr Paul Hicks an outstanding sculptor of miniatures. We have a general chat about him and what he has been up to since we last spoke on episode 90, and also both the previous and upcoming Baron’s War kickstarter campaigns he is working on with Andy Hobday of Footsore Miniatures. I always enjoy talking to Paul, traditional sculpting seems to be going by the wayside in favor of Z brush and electronic sculpting but I for one would hate the art and the discipline to die out, it was a shame Salute was cancelled this year as Paul was going to be there with PATM doing a number of sculpt along classes, next year we hope it will become a reality.
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.
