Hi Kev,

what you describe sounds very much like the kind of games played and written about by Tony Bath way back in the early/mid seventies with his "Hyboria" campaign, which ran for ages in "Battle" magazine, which I remember reading as a kid/teen. I`d give an arm  and a leg now to get my hands on a copy of that classic gem of a book.

I know what you mean though about not having time to put something like this together... however, for myself, I am planning to do something about it this year. It all coincides with my plans (happening even now) to sell off the majority (probably 95%) of my life time collection of games, figures and books on eBay. The aim isn`t just to reap some cash for other things *mmmm more figures* but to consolidate and allow my mind to focus on just a few wargame topics... namely:  10mm Fantasy, 10mm Science Fiction, 40mm Lord of the Rings (TMG), 28mm Victorian & early Pulp, and of course, my treasured collection of Arkham Horror Boardgames, Terrible Swift Sword, and G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T (Steampunk)... hmmm  maybe a few others ^^

Okay, that’s a bit more than a few things, but believe me, that is just a few things compared to what I have in my current “must go” collection. Oh to be free of it all. I feel a bit like Bilbo finally letting go of his ring  :)

Anyway, the point is; I plan to focus a lot more on my 10mm Fantasy and Sci-fi, and create something worthy of my time. Part of the eBay funds will go into creating and maintaining my own website for just this. Yes, I have Table Top Titans, but when you have to share ideas and be considerate to others (site partner etc) it’s just not the same as having it all to yourself, if that makes any sense?

Soooo, I plan many new things, especially for my ever growing collection of Pendraken 10mm yummies. Call it a minor epiphany. Whatever it is, I am more enthused and happy than ever with my gaming.

Campaign games here I come.

However, I run before my horse to market. First comes the hard long and difficult job of sorting out all my stuff to sell.... if nothing else I need the space for my new projects  :D.

I've not heard of Tony Bath's book before, might have to have a search .......

Good luck with trimming down the collection - I keep promising myself to do the same, but soon as I get the stuff out to sort I get all nostalgic, start purring over the nice shiney stuff and can't bring myself to do it =) ;D

I shall look forward to hearing how you progress with your plans though, so please keep us updated. Sounds exciting! I always fancied one of those "epiphany" things :P

Cheers,

Kev

;D  =O I know, that`s the problem. Yesterday I just sold my first tentative item on eBay (a metal boxed 30th Anniversary collector`s edition of Tunnels & Trolls). I almost dreaded the buyer putting money into my Paypal account, beause now the reality is that I have to post my precious shiny thing to him... and it`s mine I tell you, it`s mine; my own, my precious *gollum gollum*

I`m told it will get better in time  X_X

Glad I didn't know you were selling that - I might have been tempted #:-S

Aaah yes, but I fear it may be too late.

The other day my wife caught me doing bugle sounds and making cannon fire noises over my little metal men :o


*chuckles*

Certainly sounds like the beginning of the end SIX ;D

"Your DOOMED laddie, DOOMED" - spoken in a Scottish accent of course :P
