Morning All

So as probably the least hungover of the team, I managed to sneak out of the house this morning to go into a nice quiet studio to do a bit of hobby time.

This morning I’m having a crack at re basing the old lizard men army (or as savanna has asked mt to call it the lizard people army as if she was a lizard she’d want to fight alongside me apparently lol)

But first to the questions… (Which were excellent by the way!)

(1) Is a hard tabletop boardgame necessarily a good one?

No not necessarily. For me the interactions between players is more important that the interactions with the game (if that makes any sense!)

(2) Do board games based on a computer game work? Or do they get muddled up in imitating the game’s style translating directly into a tabletop game and suffer?

Yeah I haven’t been too taken by any of the crossovers. The two mediums offer something completely different and exclusive, and I’m not sure the crossovers do either medium justice.

(3) Do games have too much accessories?

GOD YES! Don’t get me wrong I can see why they are there but I cant imagine they actually lead to more play time as surely a lot of folk dread the setup time and packing away time!

Anyway, time to get stuck into these bases.

Im going to have a go at the ‘lost city’ style.

I have my 3D printed bases ready (Needing well over 120 or so for this project) and I rolled out some clay and added a pattern using the Greenstuff world rolling pin.

Now to experiment!
