I've never been much of one for podcasts - preferring to watch videos or listen to music. However of late I've been trawling through the archives of Meeples & Miniatures and also enjoying The Miller's Tale. Being in Australia, many of the in-jokes and references have passed me by, particularly the UK-centric references and news.
However what I have found exceptionally illuminating are the various interviews with Nick and Riochard from Too Fat Lardies. Given that I'm effectively only just beginning my journey into The TFL rules experience, listening to the ethos of Richard and Nick in terms of rules design, approach to gaming and history, has been both entertaining and thought provoking.
I'm getting that same sense of wonderment and discovery that first struck me when I saw my first 1/300th moderns game back in 1977.
The path I'm on is new to me, but it feels right. I'm shedding years of encroaching and accumulating disillusionment with each step I take forward. I'm now looking forward to the arrival of my new figures, paints and materials.
It's not going to be a smooth journey as there is so much I have to re-learn and re-discover, but that is also part of the attraction and enthisuasm.
