From the workbench of the esteemed Horati0nosebl0wer

I’m scared shitless. This is as bad as the time I taught an intro to basing course at a convention. I am essentially the pusher for a new game system that is slowly getting off the ground at my FLGS. I don’t know the rules as well as I could and I study half heartedly while I paint figures and look for work again. I believe that the interest right now is built up because I have fully painted armies and I’m showing the work on more to show it is achievable.

I’ve had one game with one of the other regulars and he’s head over heels for the historical aspect. I’ll meet him halfway using some of my Arabian Knights as some sort of army of Islam while he obsesses and grabs the hardcover books. I have a slight sadistic impulse to say I’d play as something like the Anglo-Danes or the Goths as I know he’s got an impulse for WYSIWYG. Watching the ensuing body twitches would be humorous. I could still field Greeks or proper Vikings to avoid the suffering.

Well, I guess my path to promote the game is set and I will cheerlead for all comers into it. I might get a banner made for the store as they already show off One Piece and MtG. It might conflict with the cardboard crack addicts on one level but I feel staking out a presence for figure hobby and mini games is necessary. As much as some might not like what I have to say, I’m glad there is little to no presence of Warhammer gamers (despite the product in the store). The store seems relatively inviting because of that.
