2024/03/18

Greetings listeners (and viewers),It's time for another podcast and this one is a little video. As mentioned in previous episodes I will occasionally be dipping into video occasionally and when I do it'll be something on the short side. Today I lift the lid - literally - on my paint collection. The reason? I was all ready to start a long overdue painting sessions a couple weekends ago, but disaster struck! My Abaddon Black had dried up. Not only did this mean I couldn't undercoat

D&D hits the supermarket shelves!Greetings folks, this episode is about a minor seismic event in the world of RPGs. Last year's release of the D&D Adventurer magazine in the UK. Instead of having to visit a hobby or book store, this publication appeared all over the place such as in newsagents, supermarkets and corner stores. Its purpose was to bring the D&D hobby to a wider audience via a regularly published magazine. Such a magazine publishing concept is nothing new and something

Happy New Year listener(s) and viewer(s), I'm back after a woefully long period of time. For a while I was starting to think that my podcast was going the way of many that have come before it - a few episodes every once in a while before the inevitable disappearance, never to be found again. Another lost soul down the proverbial digital well. Well, not so with me! I dragged myself to my camera, microphone and computer to concoct a very simple little video that will hopefully serve as an

Greetings pod listeners and welcome to another one man stream of conscious podcast. I'm dusting off a file that's a few months old having recorded this in the light and heat of Slovakia over the summer. Initially I was just doing this as a way to get the creative juices going with regards an article I was planning on writing for a wargames mag. Alas, the creative writing juices are still dammed up so I thought I'd at least upload the tortured trickles. This episode is a meandering trek

Time for another video I think! I needed to test out my camera and microphone kit for an upcoming filming job, but rather that just filming me saying 'Testing 1-2-3, Testing 1-2-3' over and over, I thought I'd do something a tiny bit creative. So I got out my un-played Bloodsword books written by Dave Morris and illustrated by Russ Nicholson to give them a quick video outing. I've talked about these fine books before, but here they are in the flesh. Interestingly while they inhabit

Painted giant. Check! Orcs and Elves. Check! Scenery ready. Check! Time for a game. In this episode I chronicle my, at times, confused and fraught plan to FINALLY play scenario 1 from the classic Games Workshop product 'Blood Bath at Orc's Drift'. A mini campaign from the 80s during the era of Warhammer 2nd edition. In a previous episode I talked about this product and not so long ago mused about my plan to play through this fine product at some point in the future. Given my relocation

Not a full episode, but rather a quick aside that will barely do justice to this podcast's subject, namely the amazing artist Russ Nicholson. I was saddened to learn of his death just after I'd uploaded the last episode and I'm sure many long time gamers out there are feeling a similar sense of loss at Russ' passing. While I make no pretense to knowing the man, his work absolutely pulled me deeper and deeper into the gaming hobby with his amazing illustrations that were quite simply

Greetings listeners. If any of you are confused by the opening, and closing, music for this episode please don't be alarmed. It's a reference to something I say later in the episode. OK, I could feel that guilt and internal pressure building to record another episode so reached for the Rode Wireless mic and set about turning my thoughts into a wav file. In my rush I don't think I adjusted the recording volume as well as I could have, hence the automatically boosted audio upon upload

Greetings podgoers! I made a point today of setting some time aside to try and gather my scattered thoughts into a coherent podcast about what I've been up to regards gaming. Thus I attached a Rode Wireless mic to my collar and went for a stroll about town during a gap in the day's busy schedule to muse about being re-united with an old friend. Namely the excellent Lone Wolf Game books written by Joe Dever and illustrated by Gary Chalk. While I did own these books back in the day I'm ashamed to say

Happy New Year folks! New Year, new podcast. Yes, an actual new podcast. Not the recycled one I uploaded last time. In case any of you were scratching you head about episode 17.5, let me explain. When working on a previous episode I saw a huge announcement declaring I could now upload videos. Seeing as I had an aborted attempt at doing just that a while ago, I thought I'd try again. After all why not finally get people to see the little video I made all the way back in April 2021. Alas, it appears

What's this? Another episode, so close to the last one? Well, no. What we have here is a re-run, a repeat, re-used content getting a second airing due to the new functionality of my podcast hosting service. Let me explain. Way back during the planning for episode five, I thought I would dip into video for that episode and so put together a very basic two camera shoot for one of my adventure board games. Simple. Well, not quite. Unlike some other podcast services out there, I discovered - as I was

I'm back! It's been a while. I know I always say that, but it's REALLY been a while. The guilt of not being able to get my act together and record a podcast was eating me up and I was thinking of ways in which I could at least get a some audio recorded and uploaded. Should I just say 'hello' and chat gibberish for 2 minutes as a place holder? No. I thought I would wait at least a few weeks so there was enough material to spout gibberish for longer. And so here we are. ...in Geneva in fact. I

Greetings podcasters - Thank you for your patience! I’ve put off recording and editing this latest offering as I’ve been under the gun regards our family relocation. The last couple of months have been a stressful blur of boxing household items, contacting international removal companies, deciding on schools for the children, choosing where to live and generally all the hassles that accompany such an upheaval. Not mention working a job too! Well, I don’t want to bore you with the ins and outs of my

Greetings loyal listeners. Thank you for tuning in to another stream of consciousness podcast in which I cast my eye over my collection and talk about the things that come into my head. Hey, it's a system that works. More or less. Today I was inspired to get out the microphone as I picked up a brilliant game from the annals of tabletop gaming. Namely Avalon Hill's Diplomacy. Yes, the classic game that was one of the inspirations for Gygax and Arneson as they went about developing their own gaming

Welcome podcast listeners to another episode of Two Shelves of Gaming. As usual I felt a gentle internal pressure to get another episode out there, but as per normal the eternal question of what to talk about stumped me. Luckily I was contacted by a listener called Mark to who had heard about me from the Bedroom Battles podcast and answered a question I had from episode 12. Namely the title of a game book series I once owned in the 80s in which you could end up being killed in your dreams as you

Greetings podsters! It has been a while since my last offering so I was feeling the slight pressure to get something recorded and edited before time stretched out any further. A combination of procrastination and not knowing what to pick off my book shelves next created a perfect storm of indecision - and talking of storms, Eunice was battering the Dutch coastline as I recorded this episode, you can hear it howling in the background.

Warning! This episode contains a couple sections of poor audio and a mnemonic malfunction. Greetings podlisteners, I thought I would try something a bit different for this episode. I thought I would try and record things in the great outdoors. ‘But, why?’ I hear you ask. Today’s episode scratches the surface of fantasy game books with some passing attention given to the Fabled Lands game book series. The thinking being, this book series convey a sense of the vast almost endless possibilities an

Seasonal Greetings folks! Yes, it's that time of year again, with Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd get my finger out and record another podcast before things got to busy. But what subject should I choose this time? Well, I thought I'd start out easy and re-cap what I've been up to since last time. I've been busy in my own way; some painting, some wargaming and some rules learning. It's been a mixed bag albeit a very satisfying one. I briefly discuss my Anglo-Zulu project using both

Greetings folks! I thought it was high time I recorded another podcast and the inspiration for this episode is a holistic assessment of my miniatures collection - the ones I've painted, the ones I hope to paint and the ones - gulp - I may never paint. But first the backstory - last weekend marked a milestone in my wargaming activities; I actually finished painting all my Pendraken 10mm miniatures (yay!). I ordered them just before the first lockdown of 2020 and promptly set about undercoating and

Greetings all! It's been a while. A few things have conspired to keep me away from recording my random musings about my gaming collection; being away on holiday, not being able to decide on which game or product to talk about and wanting to get hold of a decent microphone. All these simple things have conspired to delay me getting my act together and making the latest episode. Another conspirator were my actual gaming shelves...! Yes, folks, due to the amount of stuff on them I completely overlooked
