I never thought this would happen... I entered the top 100 wargames on @boardgamegeek.com with Gest. Thanks so much to @joedewhurst.bsky.social for helping me make this game actually good, Chechu and Robert for making it look awesome, and @gmtgames.bsky.social for believing in me.

An image with a stack of copies of The Hooded Man RPG rulebook on a table with a character sheet, pencil and dice. Text reads: "A medieval roleplaying game of heroism and adventure in the Greenwood".

This is a great book, I recommend it to people interested in the ACW but also anyone interested in how historical myths are created and spread.

I wrote a review of it some years back www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/searchi...

Seeing the responses to the boardgame recommendations piece @senetmagazine.bsky.social curated for @theguardian.com is so gratifying. Loads of people going 'wait... this list is actually good?' There's such a demand for quality mainstream boardgame coverage & I hope editors take note.

Had the chance to sit down with Adrien Martinot who co-designed Star Wars: Battle of Hoth with big boy Borg. Great chat about a very cool game and an excellent entry point into the magical world of Commands & Colors:

Talking about the “clean Wehrmacht myth”, this text from a recently released game is a fairly good example. I’m sure the Soviet authorities weren’t specially kind to the population, but they seem to have forgotten to mention some minor details about the Nazis in Russia. @fredserval.bsky.social

In a few hours the campaign for Queen of Spies will go live. This game is super important to me, as it will be the first published design from me and my bestie @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. Stunning work from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social and Meeple Foundry!

Today I played a fun match of A Gest of Robin Hood against my lovely wife. It is such a great game by @fredserval.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social.
Soon you'll find an article about the GMT Irregular Conflict Series on my Blog armoredpawn.com.

Reuse, recycle. When I saw the Nathaniel Fines card in @fredserval.bsky.social ‘s Civil Whist I remembered I had used him in my C&C:ECW variant project.
