Paint All The Minis Paint Ramble

This week I talk to Mike about his personal journey with Warhammer 40k lore and competetive play. We have a typical rambly chat about some of his experiences over the years. It was fun to talk to him about his competetive experiences and Warhammer lore. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/py328TA3wf

This week I talk to Ronnie of Mantic Games. In this episode he gives us an update on what has been happening over the last 9 months since we last spoke and also talk about the current push from them in the shape of Dreadball All Stars. Dreadball All Stars is a sci fi sports game that you can play on your table top. I have always really enjoyed Blood Bowl and, as Ronnie mentions in the show this is not a competitor of, its more of a complimentary game that is in many ways opposite. Its Sci Fi, it plays a bit quicker, etc etc, I wont list all its quirks here, you can listen in. The Kickstarter campaign is in its last 48 hours as this show is released on April 7th, but you can bob into a late pledge at some point no doubt, or equally wait for it to be released in a retail version. I always find myself saying and thinking the same, but I really do feel that Mantic and Ronnie especially do a great job of creating really well thought out, good value, and well produced game for us to play, thanks guys, us hobby nerds really appreciate it.

This week I talk to Matthew about all the reasons why he loves Hobgoblin, the fantasy massed battle game! PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/py328TA3wf

This week I talk to Jimmy from the Mini Game Montage YouTube channel and we take the usual meandering chat through his hobby history into the modern day and also beyond! PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/eHYTf4Z7t4

This week I talk to Scott Radom about why he loves Star Wars Shatterpoint. I was a little bit turned off from Shatterpoint on release due to no crossover from Star Wars Legion, which I was pretty deep into, and also the special dioramas, promos, and other big marketing things I saw that made it seem like money may be more important than substance. So it was great to hear from Scott about all the things he likes about it, I dont think I am dropping everything to be involved with it, but I am more open to it than before. If you play it then give us a shout about all the things you like. Personally I like old school Star Wars, the first triology, so I am not too fussed about the shark dudes, bad company etc etc, cartoons and comics are not really what I personally like best about Star Wars, but it is great that the models for Shatterpoint are so diverse. It was great to have a reason to talk to Scott once more, amazing guy for sure. Hope you enjoy the chat. PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/eHYTf4Z7t4

This week I talk to Mark about our feeling on general health and diet. Its about this time of year for a lot of us that we have indulged over christmas and with new years resolutions, we potentially reflect on what we do and what we can do. About 10 years ago I started to really question and reflect on life choices in terms of diet and general health. I have tried so many different things over the years, keeping what has seemed to have a positive effect and ditching things I felt didnt help enough. There are far too many things to talk about in just one show, and equally I am not some sort of health guru. I just wanted to chat to Mark about it, and if it gives you pause for thought then great! Equally if you want to chat about any of this further then you can come and hang out on the discord, link in the description. It will be back to regular episodes next friday!

This week I talk to Derrick of the PATM discord, amongst other things. We have a rambly chat and eventually get on to talk about why he and we both love Unmatched. Still time to pick it up before christmas if you like the sound of it. Thanks to Derrick for coming onto the show, always great to find an excuse to chat. PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/fAhXZZMtbc

You can see games like Pillage, Guards of Traitors Toll, and The Barons War. Swing by and check out the channel to see if you would enjoy it! PATM Discord Server Link: https://discord.gg/UDMjrjZp

This week I talk to Stuart of the Miniature Realms Youtube channel. Stuart puts together a wide range of content for us to enjoy from chats to tutorials to book overviews. I have wanted to talk to Stuart for a long time as he always comes across as a solid stand up chap who is passionate about our hobby, and he was! Thanks for coming onto the show Stuart, we appreciated hearing from you, and if you haven't checked out his channel then swing by and see if it is something you may enjoy.

This week I talk to Peter, who is a PATM discord member, fellow nerd, and also he has taken the dive into writing his own rules. I wont spoil any of the chat here but it was fun talking with him and I am sure I speak for all the listeners when we wish him all the best with his rule sets. In the chat Peter brought up sustainable gaming. As I come up on my first decade in gaming it is a good opportunity to take stock of what I have learned and why I am still in love with it. Back in episode 150 through 153 we talked about how people may hobby effectively and sustainably during our life, I am sure we will revisit it soon, but it came up in the show and if you are not familiar with those shows, then it may be worth having a wee listen. Both Peter and I believe in this concept. PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/rAseucvH

This week I talk to Alex from the Storm of Steel Youtube channel. Alex puts together content for games he loves, often playing solo, and his Youtube channel is one I enjoy. If you like the cut of his jib, despite him being a Yorkshireman, then check out his channel. Regardless of any Youtube channel he is an interesting guy to speak to and we spent a good chunk of time talking about Lard games, the cult of lard. Games from Two Fat Lardies. I love Lard games, a lot. You should check those out too. PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/vy5CduX7

This week I talk to Matthew from the Bedroom Battlefields Podcast about playing games at what we would call "non traditional times". I would say that usually when we think of tabletop gaming we would think of playing at a club night during the week, or on a weekend afternoon. I personally play early am on saturday morning, Matthew likes to play then too and so we had a chin wag about it, and here are the noises we made! Its a bit of a tiddler this week, that wont be the first time Matthew has heard something like that, but the show is quite short so I added an extra long post ramble ramble on specifically about why you should take a look at the A Song of Ice and Fire game.
