After a couple years of weekly hobby-blogging, I’m down to only four remaining ideas from the original brainstorming session. This is one of them.
“Gamespace” like headspace, only gamey-er
In my head, I’m still really into this stuff. I’m currently reading Callis & Toll. It’s OK so far, not bad, not amazing. It’s no Road of Skulls, but also far better than City of the Damned.
I’d like to finish reading the 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle rulebook, and the 10th edition 40k rulebook. I had a good reading stretch there when I was home sick and couldn’t do anything else in January, but the busyness has picked back up again.
No clue why, but trying an army style game has some amount of appeal now, when it never has in the past.
“Game Space” where the magic happens
That saying isn’t just for MTV Cribs anymore! What’s MTV you ask? We’ll, never mind, it isn’t important and it was a long time ago.
I’m truly fortunate to have a dedicated gaming area in my home.
I’d like to play more. Though the game room still sees frequent use. We host a weekly D&D game for an offspring and that’s been a big hit.
My amazing brother has gifted me a multi-year subscription to White Dwarf magazine, so I rearranged some cabinet space, those suckers are heavy!
I’d like to add some type of torch sconce or something for mood lighting.
I also need to clean up a bit. It’s getting cluttered with some acquisitions and general hobby supplies.
“Games Pace” as in frequency
I find that I’ve been tailing off the hobby stuff in the past year or two, unfortunately. Family commitments and other activities have cut into available hobby time. I now spend seven to eight hours a week in the car (not counting weekends). That’s really encroached on the ol’ free time sadly. But I’m still at it. I get in at least one game a month, sometimes two. Painting has been pretty darn slow though.
It’s probably been two years since I mothballed the resin printer. It will stay that way without a compelling project. I have enough minis. It would buzz back to life if the right army/project/game came along though.
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is on my painting table. I have the Mire Kelpies done. Working on the Pox-Wretches. I just have to sit down an do it.
I should set something up on the table and pick up a kid and set them down to play. It’s just easier not to sometimes (most times).
Without much news happening about my second love, Warhammer Quest (HeroQuest is first), there isn’t a ton to cover. So that’s the hobby update. Only there original topics remain!
