Blood Bowl pitch maintenance is not for the faint of heart!

October was the first month of the year I played more games with someone other than my wife. Bit of a slow month because it was very busy (including a trip to Spiel), but highlights include playing Sky Team in Düsseldorf Airport.

I’ll be at Spiel Essen next week along with my friend and colleague Stephen Box of Vanguard Tactics! If you or your company are looking for freelance editorial, content or creative services or are interested in the video content offerings of Vanguard Tactics, please drop me a message!

I love making a good stencil when I’ve got to paint the same thing over and over again. This t-shaped stencil can handle all three LI road plates: straights, Ts, and crosses.

Finished the main story of Ghost of Yotei. Absolutely a worthy successor to Ghost of Tsushima, and the pair are two of the best games I’ve ever played. Atsu’s story is now my favorite revenge tale.

Marvel United looks so good on the table.

Plays were way down in September, BUT it included playing Rome in a Day IN ROME! That’s gotta be worth bonus points!

I recently got the chance to speak with the last ever White Dwarf editor, Lyle Lowery

We spoke about @lylelowery.bsky.social 's career, managing White Dwarf for the past ~7 years, how the magazine is produced, and the role of the editor in the process

I suddenly got really busy with work, so I forgot to share this, but I did maintain my streak and paint Wolverine! That’s four of these fun little models done in four days.

My office for the past few days. It’s been a blast!

Trying to keep up the pace of painting one a day. This time: Beast!

Recently I posted about my Santorini in Santorini project. Next up is a trip to Rome! So I ask you, what’s a good game to play in Rome?

Must be:

Very portable
Small footprint
Two players
Quick play time
Low complexity
Rome theme

I’m thinking Rome in a Day. What do you think?

I had so much fun with Sabretooth, I had to keep it going with Cyclops! Another quick and cheerful paint job.

Been in a bit of a painting slump, so to get back on the hobby horse I painted this quick little Sabretooth from Marvel United. It was really fun!

This summer I played Santorini in Santorini! To pull it off, I found and printed a nice little miniature Santorini board and pieces. I designed some nesting, removable trays to accommodate all the pieces some cards. It was a super fun project and a neat thing to tick off the bucket list!

Thanks to an extended visit from some good friends who were really keen on trick-taking games, August was a record month since I started tracking plays at the beginning of the year!

We had some friends in town for a couple of weeks, and the group got swept up with The Crew. So much fun! We really struggled with Mission 28, far more than any other. It was a huge outlier. Were there any missions you struggled with? Was it just us struggling on 28?

Had a little fun with inDesign and made this mission log graphic of our recent plays of The Crew.

Yesterday was a day to celebrate as I officially became a British citizen!

July was a down month for board games, but an H-index of 3 for the month is pretty good!

Best editor since Paul Sawyer? I reckon so. Best wishes for what’s next!

I subscribed again when your run on the magazine got underway! Really liked stuff like the mini campaign settings and the custom chapter stuff. Nice to see more narrative stuff in the magazine. Great work all around.

Good sir, this last run of White Dwarf has been unquestionably, undeniably one of the all time best runs of the magazine that it has seen, perhaps as good or better than the early 2000's. I know, I have those ones too.

Hold your head high on the way out, you did a great job.
