Awesome! Does this mean I am first? 😀
1. How do you like your Rulebooks done? Spiral bound, actually. Makes it easy to lay down and easily flip through for reference at the table. Many times I print a PDF, and punch it into a three-ring binder for a similar convenience.
2. How much Fluff do you create for your Armies? By the time our Werewolf the Apocalypse game was complete, our written chronicle tipped the scales at just over four million words. Then again, this is mostly very poor writing (we went for sheer length and detail, absolutely no planning, a lot of it just journal work, ect), it took 11 years (1997 – 2008), and was the amassed contributions of 22 players / writers. More recently, the PanzerBlitz: Grossdeutchland campaign journal tipped out at 60,000 words (2011), PanzerBlitz Barbarossa campaign journal at about 100,000 words (2012-13), Arab Israeli Wars at 150,000 (2013-2015). After that it was Darkstar (2012-present). I don’t even know what those campaign journals are at.
But of course, those are the old days. 😐
3. What’s the most Frustrating Hobby thing you’ve ever built? I won’t embarrass the company, suffice it to say I don’t but from these people any more. A resin Il-2 Sturmovik shattered like glass. A pack of A-15 Crusaders was so bad that one of them straight out had the gun missing, I had to replacing it with a molding finishing nail.
I also had very bad luck with some Warlord LRDG trucks (my very first swing at 28mm), but that was mostly my fault and some helpful tips from the community helped me salvage the work. They didn’t turn out too bad in the end, but at first they really didn’t look good at all.
