The Weekender: Funky Modular Virtual Tabletop Fun!
September 11, 2013 by dignity
Boom! The Weekender is back with a bang and we have some awesome talk with you guys about. The guys will be chatting about the ace looking terrain coming out of Plast Craft for Infinity, the progress on Virtual tabletops and the return of some Backstage favourites in the Deepspace Assault Console and GameScape series.
As well as that we get a chat about one of the games of the moment, Formula D which you might have seen on Tabletop this season. We can't forget the ace charity event, Battle for Sofia that is going to be happening later on this year. It's a marathon game of Warhammer Fantasy and deserves your support.

Happy Gaming!
Ah the weekender, my Saturday is complete. Don’t stop making these or I’m coming down there and giving you such a pinch.
As somebody who is about to move from Bristol (easy access to hobby stores and gaming groups, not to mention the players of my weekly Star Wars RPG campaign) and back to the place of my birth – deepest, darkest Cornwall – this seems to have come along at just the right time and I checked out Virtual Tabletop when Chris mentioned it in a recent Achtung! Cthulhu kickstater update. It definitely has some promise and it’s great that I will be able to take pictures of the ~25 WotC Star Wars maps I own and use them in the… Read more »
Now if formula d was to bring out a mad max edition…..
that would be awesome !!!!!
Good show guys.
With as long as Formula Dé has been out, it surprises me to see people who are unfamiliar with it. Adding the weather and wear rules makes this game, I think.
All the ‘app’ type things do seem like fun, but, and maybe this is just me, after spending all day on a computer to earn the money to do things I enjoy, one of the pleasures of painting models and playing games is that I do not have a screen in front of me at all.
PS. I was distracted for the first half of the show as to why warren was drinking what appeared to be iced urine..
gr8t show as normal guys, but thought you might of mentioned the death of Donald Featherstone.
Thanks for the very cool shout out.
We’ll be revealing more details in the coming weeks. But for now was can say it will require shifts to keep the action going. It’s one continuous game, narrative driven, with an ‘end’ to the game being driven by the time not the turns… Although its a ‘bring all you models’ game the units come on in waves and keep coming…
Have any of the winners be announced for the comps for the last few weeks? The one im waiting for is the two player drop zone starter set!
Welcome back! Perfect end to the week!
A good show, even though I’m almost exclusively a historical gamer. I did love the way Lloyd and Justin interacted. Justin’s facial expressions made me chuckle after Lloyd disagreed with him – which he did quite a lot.
A welcome return of “Pseudo-Science with Warren Johnson”. I hear that in the future we’ll be no longer be having babies in the natural way, instead nanobots will create them from monkey and pig DNA 😉
Great show and I felt Lloyd brought a lot to the literal and metaphorical table. I still think the show works best with three people but Lloyd should definitely be on the shortlist for one of those three slots each week.
Another a great episode guys.
Congrats to the winners.
Great to hear your arguments about the future. Those are the kind of topics I love getting into with my mates. It was good to hear someone say the communism was a great idea in principle but was brought down by human nature (greed etc), I’ve been saying that for years.
Great tip on the copydex too.
Loved this video guys and nice to see you guys making terrain. 🙂 Formula D is indeed a great game, although I only played the 1st edition about 10 years ago in Truro British Legion which we used to game at. The 2nd edition looks very shiny indeed and this may get my gf into more gaming as she loves F1. 😀

Interesting conversation about the future of gaming. I’m not betting on the RIF chip idea though. Would make an expensive hobby even more expensive. 🙂 I do feel that as 3D printing becomes better and cheaper, we’ll begin to see it replacing the traditional molding process. Tooling the molds is where the real cost of making models comes from so I can see some companies looking for an alternative to that. You could easily just plug in a CAD render and print out mass quantities of models…once the technology allows that to happen. Whether or not the savings of that… Read more »
Well this is probably one of the most rewarding weekenders I have ever watched… In reference to the debate between Stu and Warren, my take is both of you guys are correct in view points given however both have looked over the one aspect that makes both view points both valid and true to course. This is when sharing the advances of technology in light of the human condition being a strong hold that one must contend with to further any and all advances of both listed. Every leap of faith or stride made by both man and the power… Read more »
As far as singularity look no further than technology birthed from imagination
I look at Steve Jackson games and that card game he created in 1995…

Its pretty scary to see how our gaming teeters between fiction and reality. To the point it seems at times to shape it some how.
Good episode fellas. And +1 for Radio 4!
Nice one fellas.
Great chat about the replicator and not a drop of alcohol in sight. Which is probably just as well for you may have run out of time to film xlbs
Truly one of the best Weekenders to I have seen. Great show boys, really great.
I want to become Backstager but I dont have a Credit Card tied in my PayPal account. Any way around that ?
I’m not sure that “funky” describes some boxes— but good show, good show!
Got to love those warren brain farts. 🙂
I think the weekender is one of the best bits of BoW.
Keep it up guys 😀
