Hi Guys,

I’ve recently got my mate Alan into painting minis, and whilst tutoring him on those first tentative steps I was amazed at the knowledge I was taking for granted – the questions that he was asking were all perfectly reasonable, but I think as experienced hobbyists we sometimes forget or don’t realise how much basic knowledge we’ve had to acquire.

So this series is for all the Alans out there, who’re tentatively taking their first steps into what we affectionately call “The Hobby”. If you know an ‘Alan’ I would be very grateful if you could share this page with him/her.

Hi Guys,

This is an unusual post, I didn’t create this game, it’s a popular party game that I’ve written up primarily for my own reference since I’m going away with friends soon and may get some games in. Consequently I wanted to write it up so I have access to it without needing a physical copy on hand!

I really like tabletop sports games, they can be super quick, tactically deep, and for some reason playing a game about little dudesmen who’re playing a game feels cooler to me than playing a game about little dudesmen having a scrap. Plus, we’re spoiled at the moment for options: Dreadball, Bloodbowl, Guildball, Kaosball, Aristeia to name some that come to mind…
