All set


So Horrendous Gaming now exists.  It’s recognised as a publisher on Wargame Vault, where Call Security! has actually started making sales, a weird feeling, let me tell you.

There’s a Facebook group, which has no members yet (hint hint if you do Facebook but I get that many people don’t anymore). 

Ivan Sorensen was kind enough to give me a nod on his Discord and I have a Discord server ready for a Horrendous Gaming community in case anyone ever asks.

As I already existed as a Games Designer on Board Game Geek, I’ve added an entry as Publisher and will be able to add the games.

That’s pretty much it for marketing unless anyone has a suggestion for something obvious I missed?

I’m holding on to Protect and Survive (post apocalypse) until 1st September, and then Plunder and Fighting (swashbuckling pirates) in October.  Two more games already in progress after that, so aiming for all five out by the end of 2025.  

I’m still also hoping some things I’ve done for Ivan will appear, so there’s a lot going on, and I’ll take stock at the cusp of the new year on where all this is going, but I think this Blog can go back to focussing on my own gaming again now.

So it begins

Back in October 2023, I took a look at my life and realised that outside of working I had nothing much I enjoyed doing and I was pretty much wasting my weekends away.  I recalled my long ago love for tabletop wargaming and roleplaying, and wondered whether I could rekindle that. Long, long, ago I played Napoleonic 15mm (Prussian), some Vietnam skirmish, 25mm Medieval skirmish, and even some ACW.  Later I discovered D&D and Traveller (a science fiction roleplay system) which then lead me to Games Workshop and working with the team on games like Space Hulk and Dark Future and getting stuff published in White Dwarf, that eventually lead, in the early 1990s, to my game designer credits on Space Hulk Campaigns, second edition Space Hulk, and the Warhammer Quest supplement Lair of the Orc Lord. Somehow though, building a ‘proper’ career put all that behind me.  Not only the game design, but even the painting and gaming just got forgotten about.  Looking back I can’t ev...

Why I enjoy plastic kits

Image
  In my round up of 2024 I mentioned my joy working with hard plastic kits, and while working my way through the box of British Riflemen for my The Very Sharpe Silver Bayonet (TVSSB) campaign I thought I’d talk through why, and my process for dealing with them. The picture above may not look particularly interesting until you realise that none of them are actually straight off the sprue, and that’s not something you can do with metal or a resin print.  The Rifles box enables 32 figures, but only has 4 different bodies, and yet with the mix of arms and heads there’s a lot of different poses available.  Then on top of that, with a little imagination and work, you can push things beyond the sprue. So first up the tools you’ll need.  I really suggest investing in a decent pair of side snips for removing parts from sprues.  Like these for example, but of course other brands and indeed non-branded ones are available! Also essential are a few different shapes of mini f...

Gunnar’s Diary

  The first 20 turns of my solo Five Leagues from the Borderlands campaign are now documented on the 5LB Gunnar’s Diary page.  This brings me up to date not just with that campaign, but with everything I have been doing since October 2023.  All posts from here will be fresh.
