I would like to share something with you. It’s a text, though you needn’t worry – I won’t be boring you with lots. This just struck a note.
It said:
Oi, Quirkworthy pull your finger out and update that blog. I don’t care if you’re busy I need something interesting to read on the toilet! đŸ˜‰
Which put me in my place (the smallest room).
Well almost everything I’ve been working on for the last few months is still under a shroud of secrecy so that’s a little tricky. However, the rumours have begun to float around the net, thanks to some blabbermouthed traders. Luckily for our plan, there was little for them to leak save a few names, and it has amused me as much as it has annoyed to see the sharks condemn the entire project already on the basis of a crumb or two of fact and a small mountain of (incorrect) supposition.
All I have to say on the topic at present is that it reminds me of an old Bob Dylan lyric:
Something is happening, but you don’t know what it is…
Quirkworthy 
I thought I knew something was happening then drove all the way to Nottingham on Saturday to find out it wasn’t lol
If that was at Foundry then they’re in the middle of some big reshuffle and I’ve got no idea what’s going on. Wish I had.
I saw a copy of the book peaking out from a box but that was close as I got. Fair play to Foundry they made sure it wasn’t a wasted visit.
They are good like that though đŸ™‚
Looking forward to it whatever it is, maybe some futuristic sport game? Anticipation and waiting is good for the soul.
Maybe đŸ˜‰
Said game had a Kickstarter launched yesterday and no word here. You need to be a better self-promoter lol
Probably.
However, I’ve been busy spending my time writing more games and travelling back from Italy, so I’ve only just got back to a computer.
I’ll do that promo stuff in a minute…
They condemn good games and hype bad games… what´s so new about it ;).
Nada.
Actually they don´t even need an existing product to condem it. Just look at what happend to Sedition Wars over at BGG.
I wasn’t watching. Do tell.
Ripping the game to parts cause it had too many miniatures which is unboardgamy in their eyes and they never set an eye on the rules. I am not joking!
Aha, I see: a variation of scenario B.
Scenario A:
*New game with low “stuff” count*
Public: “Waaa! Terrible value. You’re teasing us and selling us only half a game just so you can sell expansions. It’s a rip off!”
Scenario B:
*New game with high “stuff” count*
Public: “Waaa! Terrible value. You’re putting loads in the box we don’t need just so you can sell at a higher price. It’s a rip off!”
Exactly. Add to this: Real Men don´t play with highly detailed puppets.

A set of fantasy rules perhaps…
Well I have done a set of fantasy tabletop rules, but they were finished well over a year ago. So yes, they should be out very soon, but no that’s not been keeping me especially busy of late.
I am very much looking forward to them coming out though, as I’ve been wanting to talk about them for ages… not to mention getting some games in.
I hope it’s more of an army/unit based set than a warhamster-esque skirmish – Not that there is anything wrong with that, just wanting an army set at the moment đŸ˜€
It is an army game, though having said that the model count is intentionally low as I think that is a big barrier to a lot of people playing (which is bad). But yes, you play as an army, and are more likely to win if you think of it in those term rather than in individual units.
While I have missed seeing new posts on your blog I have been insanely busy this year so it has been easy to to speculate that you might have the same problem. I am a fan of your work and it will be nice to hear about your current efforts when the time comes. I have been actively hoping that a DKH book is part of your current workload. I have a project that I want to do clearly defined now all I need is the time to get started on it.
Thanks Don, always nice to hear from you. DKH has been a little squeezed out of late, though I was pitching some ideas the other day and have a couple of thoughts for interim projects if I have a few moments spare.
Far from forgotten.
Im eagerly waitin’ for Dreadball…
Me too. I wonder who wrote it (whatever it is).
I plan to put my order in first chance. Expectations are high. đŸ™‚
That´s dreadworthy…
đŸ˜›
I gotta say that I’m super-impressed on the read-through. If it plays at all like it feels it should, it’s gonna rock.
I would, of course, have to say that it does đŸ™‚
