1. Since we Hobbyists tend to get a lot of mail, how do you “deal with” a parcel coming to you? Are you checking the tracking details constantly. always running to the mailbox or are you content to just sit and wait?
I’m terrible. I subscribe to W40k conquest which comes every 4 weeks and I still look for it daily. Amazon prime has spoilt me.
2. What’s your favourite leftover food to eat straight out of the fridge?
Cake. Curry is good as the extra day adds so much flavour. However cold pizza and warm beer is the breakfast of champions.
3. Are you a fan of Tournaments or Organised Events?
Not that long ago I was an avid MTG player following the grind and travelled all over. I might still be the highest ranked player in the history of North Wales. I still play local tournaments for war gaming and the tournament goer stereotype is largely a myth perpetuated by the occasional person who missed the point.
4. 4.What the best “Socks and Jocks”/”Stocking Stuffer” gift for a Hobbyist?
Probably socks and jocks because any money they have usually goes on toys.
5. You’ve just been given a new rulebook, assume it’s a fantasy/sci-fi genre, what’s the first thing you do? Do you read from page one, look at the artwork, read the fluff, learn the rules or maybe something else?
After I’ve had a legendary sniff and tried to capture the scent in a stoppered bottle I look at the pictures, read the fluff intro and look through for stories. Chances are after a skim through the rules I never actually read them all. ?.
Had a solo game of AoW today using my kill team shuttle board. Great fun. Hershel died turn one, Maggie caused mayhem and Rick got bitten. His life slowly ticked away until he hit his last health point and then he survived until the end of the game. True story, one legged Dale got the most supplies but never opened one that wasn’t a lurker or a trap.
Pictures!
