Title: Lentulus's blogs
Post by: lentulus on 06 March 2012, 03:26:33 AM
or, what happens when you read the admin's intro *before* you post.  Anyway, these have been on here before but to get them in place:

My central blog, which has links to my other blogs, and the mostly wargames blogs I follow.  It itself is mostly games, but also books, movies, and related random musing:

The Pendraken 10mm goodness can be found in my Enlightenment blog:

And my WWII blog

My FPW project is napping, but still whispering to me in its sleep

Lentulus, do you actually have time to sleep, eat and work around these creative outpourings? They would seem to be a full-time occupation. Remarkable!  :)

Yesterday, I hosted a game via Skype, using 10mm troops.  Technical notes here http://broadfront.blogspot.ca/2012/06/imaginations-battle-by-skype.html with links to the battle-report on my Imaginations blog, and the guest's view on Ross's Battle Game of the Month blog. http://gameofmonth.blogspot.ca/2012/06/so-far-away-they-looked-tiny.html

Good fun; not a method to play a big game but it got the lads on to the table.

Excellent - I still rate the game of BKC I played via MSN vid chat with Kalle (in Germany) back in 2006 as one of the most enjoyable wargames I've played - and it's a much underused format for gaming really...

Google+ is superb for RPGing - using the Hangout video conference feature - might be worth thinking about its use for wargaming as well...hmm...

That's interesting - the conference skype feature is a premium ($$) service.  I've not RPGed for ages mostly because the folks I would game with are strewn to the four winds.

Just a note - I have revived my FPW rules project and would value comment and input:

Nice to see your blog again, love the postcards.
Volley & Bayonet is great, just a lot of paperwork! I have transferred II Corps French, III & X Corps Prussians and all the Cavalry from both sides onto V&B data cards if you would like them?

I've added Renaissance to my collection of blogs; no 10mm here I am afraid
