Leon

After we saw so many Forum members at Salute, I was wondering how many of us know each other outside of this electronic realm?  I know a few of our members are part of the same clubs, or game together regularly, but thought it would be interesting to see just how many there are?  Also, has anyone started gaming with someone else as a result of this or another Forum?

www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

Kiwidave

I've got to know Nik, SteveJ, TinyTerrain and Dave Fielder via the BKC and now this forum.

None of the them are my regular gaming partners as they all live at least an hour's drive away from me (or vice versa!).

Have met other BKC forum members whilst doing demo games at Colours and Legionary.

Nosher

I am pretty sure one of our club members is on the forum but only an infrequent visitor. One or two members have approached me through this forum about games and locality but not gone much further than that.

I feel like I know quite a few of the members here and to be honest thats why I stick around ;)
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

"I've got to know Nik, SteveJ, TinyTerrain and Dave Fielder via the BKC and now this forum."

I also know Serotonin and Gwydion via this and the BKC forum. Regular gaming is very irregular at present so we don't get to meet up as much as we'd like :(.

Fenton

Well I couldn't really comment on here of who I know in case the popular tabloid press not hold of the details

On he forum  here I have met Irregular Wars..If there is anyone else on here from N.Ireland, I might have met them and not realised
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!

Orcs

Sunjester and Last Hussar are member of the club I go to.  I have met Mad Lemmy and Sixsideddice at a show. I have know Dave and later Leon from attending shows with Sunjester.

I don't think I know anybody else although I may have mey them at shows when helping out behind a stand.

I didn't know who you were either till I asked Sunjester. I'm a member of Tring Wargames Club too.   :-\ ;)

I've met a few others at shows - SteveJ, Tiny Terrain, Kiwidave plus a few others
Sadly no longer with us - RIP (2018)

Hertsblue

I think my regular opponent has dipped a toe in this forum, but I think he's a regular on TMP, which I don't touch.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Met Dave, Leon, Andymac a few times, all good blokes, plus Martin, Tinyterrain, Sunjester, Justafeworcs and sixsided who I met briefly at shows.
Techno, I spare with, Nik I bounce ideas at, but have never met.
Mollinary, Cameronian, Le Manchu and Hertsblue LURK like me in the nineteenth century threads.
Goingaviking and Gernorm are regular opponents at MKWS.

I belong to the same club as Orcs and Sunjester

Somebody has to.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I know - in real life (I've touched them, they're real):

Steve J, Kiwidave, Dave Fielder, Serotonin, Tiny Terrain, Paul Davies, Pruneau, angel barracks...maybe more?

Exchange emails / PMs / abuse with many, many more...so that I feel like I know them  :)

Bizarrely (?), I've never spoken to Dave / Leon, let alone met them  :o

Steve J

Forgot Pruneau, Paul and Angel Barracks, thanks for reminding me Nik :D.

From Forums / interwebs I know Nik and Nosher. Have met Leon at Claymore last year and seen Dave there. At Falkirk next week I will not let Dave have a beauty nap but insist on having my picture taken in the helmet!!!


An interesting thread Leon! @ All how about we arrange meetings at the show. Say x time at the Pendraken booth and coffee later on. Would be interesting to meet people.
