Still going to be chugging along with the Black Watch. Hopefully that’s the last time of repeating that week on week, as it looks like I might be able to squeeze in a couple of longer paint sessions midweek, so they should be finished before next weekend.

Questions:

1. Haven’t watched any of GenCon, and unlikely to do so either. Same as any other year, I pick up snippets of news about releases from websites like OTT. Nothing has got me really excited, but intrigued whether FFG are going to try a Middle Earth wargame.

2. Not planning on attending any online cons at all. Viewing it all remotely misses half the point – I want to enjoy meeting people at the event, seeing things physically etc.

3. I don’t really watch streams, and if I do, it tends not to be live. I think what makes a good stream is the same as watching live sport. Your presenters need to be personable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their subject. If they aren’t, then they’ll struggle to engage with the audience.
