Hello everyone. My feet are up, its been a long day and I have been sneaking some hobby in too. Feel a bit popped too though.
My Pledge:
***************
Finish my Primaris Captain – I intend to complete this one
Assemble two Plagueburst Crawlers – I may not get this done, my son is up to visit soon and I have work some of the days too.
Ill try and do more time permitting. I also need to get some super glue and Chaos Black Spray Paint.
1. Do your hobby habits change with the seasons?
Yes they do. In the autumn and winter months I get less spray painting or priming done due to the damp and rainsoaked climate of Ireland. Also due to less daylight painting in the evening can be a pain in the butt which means I need to make sure I have better bulbs. Due to the colder seasons though I am less inclined to go out and more to stay in, and thus paint. Or play board games with friends. I suppose there are smaller subtle changes but things also stay the same mostly. I do get much more sprayed in the summer time, though.
2. Would you play a summer olympics style game? I’m imagining players taking the role of Greek gods and creating beings, both human and mythical, to compete over a series of events to see who is the top god! How would you design such a game?
Yes, as long as there were fantasy models themed around it. I like the idea of a bunch of Hell-spawned Orcs from Hades or Elven Valkyries were Odin and the nordic pantheon to become involved. I think staying to one game for miniatures would be necessary unless it was a card game. If you were to make it Summer Olympics a lot of various minis, card decks, boards and games within games would be needed. I could go into a lot of detail about how this could be executed but I will leave it at that, for now.
3. What is your ideal summer’s day?
A road trip would good company to Galway or Dublin to soak up the atmosphere, visit some nerd centric shops and just enjoy the good vibes of the respective cities. Retail therapy, a swim at a heated pool in a hotel and some sushi to dine on. If with a significant other, some dining and romantic meal, walk and/or movie in the evening.
