Posted on April 8, 2016 by Quirkworthy

So now we have some more photos of the new version, courtesy of GW’s pre-order page. What I find interesting is that they’ve reused the original tile artwork. Pleased though. I’ve always been really fond of Nuala’s art, which conveyed exactly what I wanted … Continue reading →

Battle of the Halji 30th Anniversary Edition

Posted on April 1, 2016 by Quirkworthy

Yesterday I’d gone exploring the wilds of Whitley Bay, visiting a games club I’d just discovered was only a short distance away. I returned to an inbox full of people telling me that Lost Patrol had resurfaced, and did I know … Continue reading →

The folks who do Figure Painter magazine are branching out into gaming with their upcoming title Initiative Magazine. I rather like Figure Painter (even when I’m not daubing myself), and have found a number of great models and companies in there … Continue reading →

A Moment’s Interruption

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Quirkworthy

Sorry if you tried to connect this morning and couldn’t find quirkworthy.com. The auto-renewal for the domain name was linked to an expired credit card and I’d forgotten to update it. Oops. All sorted now.

Buzzing

Posted on February 10, 2016 by Quirkworthy

No, not a game about bees (though I did do one of those). Just my mood this morning after a great gaming session last night. As I said on Facebook, I think everyone should try gaming. Why doesn’t everyone? What is … Continue reading →

And Another One

Posted on February 8, 2016 by Quirkworthy
