This episode I speak to a stalwart member of the PATM team and discord server, Mal. Mal is a huge positive presence in our discord community and consistently gives to our group, inspiring and empowering as he goes. We shared an hour and a bit of our time together and talked a lot about people. Our hobby involved, and therefore revolves around people and what they choose to do, not do, and how they conduct themselves. We have a wide ranging chat from RPG’s to Co op games, a sprinkling of competitive games, and a whole bunch of other stuff in-between, there is even some terrible dad jokes in there too.
Read MoreThis episode I talk once again to Alex Davy, the creator of, amongst lots of other notable things, the Star Wars Legion tabletop battle game, published by Fantasy Flight. I really enjoy both talking to Alex and Star Wars Legion. The word that I use in this show is fresh. Star Wars Legion to me is a fresh look at tabletop battle from what I had seen and played previously. I enjoy its innovations and quirks.

Read MoreThis episode I get my fan boy hat on and talk to a game designer who I have a great deal of excitement towards, Mr David Thompson. David designed two of the games that I have been setting about with reckless abandon over the last 5 or 6 months, Undaunted Normandy and Undaunted North Africa both WW2 skirmish games with deck management aspects. Although they dont contain minis out the box, conversion projects are easy and the game play is brilliant, in my opinion of course, and so it was great to talk to David about……Not undaunted. Undaunted deserves its own stand alone podcast which will come later but in this show I spoke to him about his personal journey and experience along with his current Kickstarter Campaign for his game Sniper Elite. I wont spoil the show by talking about all the details but in a nutshell it is a WW2 hidden movement espionage game where a sniper is sneaking about trying to evade the patrolling guards.

This is a marathon podcast clocking in at over 2 hours and thats simply down to the diverse and interesting journey that Dave has been on during his hobby life time. From discovering the hobby, to working within it, to moving countries because of it Dave has had an amazing ride so far and it was a pleasure to ramble about it for a while.
Read MoreIn this episode I speak to Colin of Battle Systems. Battle Systems are a company who produce high quality card terrain along with the brilliant Core Space 28mm sci fi skirmish game. Core space is a wham bam, one game in a can game with all you need including all of the high quality card terrain AND a neoprene mat too. Its a really good game in my opinion and one I love to play.
Read MoreThis episode I speak once again to Joe Veltre of Gods Eye Games and we talk about his upcoming western skirmish game Gunslingers Paradise. Joe needs no introduction, he’s a jabroni that I dont seem able to shake off so when I feel I need a charity photo call to stay fresh and stay down with the hillbilly community then its always good to have Joe on. I hope you enjoy the chat we have, its always fun talking with Joe.
