For me it's the  medication.

That reminds me, I must get some more dried frog pills.  :)

I think it's a combination of everything. I assume that others here also game in other scales so I wouldn't say that being a 'nutter' is exclusive to 10mm wargamers, although some of them are their own type of crazy...but all in a good way. My personal opinion is that people gravitate to their own kind so here we all are.

From the outside you have to be crazy to be a wargamer and from the inside you have to be crazy not to.

What is normal...discuss.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I think you're all weird. It's the ones who I don't think are weird that need to worry, Techno.

We can't be crazy, how would we paint with those straigthjackets on?

Unless we have some guys here who paint with there toes.

I'm more of a brush in mouth type of painter.

Actually i'm typing this with my nose..

You've got to be a little weird to wargame in the first place...

:o ??? ??? :-X :-\ :-\ :-S :-S @-) @-)

I never really thought about that.

Are we weird?

I've always thought it was the other people...you know...those weirdos who don't game that were weird.

Last night I went to brush my teeth and when I looked in the mirror I realised I had black paint in two lovely lines on my top and bottom lips where I had licked the brush to a point.
