• How are you sleeping recently?

Pretty good. I mean, I’m usually coding ’til 1.30am-2am, then up again the next (same?) day around 8am, nine on a lazy day. So a good, solid, six or seven hours a night. I find listening to radio 4 comedies the perfect sedative – asleep within minutes. I could sleep through the apocalypse!

• When was your last round of playing miniatures in the real world with other people then your family?

Years ago. I’ve been trying out a play-by-internet game with my brother-in-law in Italy which has been really exciting these last couple of weeks. I mean, we’re not *blood relatives* but he’s still family. I thought that when the Dice Saloon re-opens in Brighton I make take myself along there – but I’m not sure we’d quite get the same vibe, all masked up and taking turns to approach the table!

• What hobby related upcoming release are you most excited for?

Right now? It’s a bit of a naff answer, but my own game. I’ve spent months on it. It’s been a real f@*king slog but just in the last couple of days, I went from making mechanics to populating the game world with characters and fun stuff like that. I’m actually looking forward to it being finished so I can play it with other people! Already it’s a blast in two-player mode; can’t wait ’til there’s three or four of us!

Other than that, I’ve backed a Blood Bowl terrain Kickstarter that looks really cool. I quite fancy trying Blitz Bowl and making a nice stadium for it.

Let’s get ready to mmmbmmbmbbmmm!

Pledges: I’ve no idea what my last few pledges have been, but I feel I’ve missed them all – mainly from getting distracted with lots of new models (when I take time away from the computer, I go and sit and paint for a few hours to clear the brain). I’ve got four “Judges”  I started, just to give batch painting a go (turns out I’m crap at it, and got bored so they’re still unfinished). So maybe they should just get done. Then again, I’ve a load of cyberpunk stuff I printed recently, perhaps I should make a start on that. Or maybe just get my DOTT diorama finished once and for all….

Music:

Not just one of the best bands of the 90s – still one of the best bands to come out of the UK *ever*. Never outsung, never outdrunk. I think I love The Wildhearts more now than I did when I first bunked off school and carried their amps to a recording studio in return for a cassette of the “Don’t be happy” EP…
