So my pledge is to paint these wargames atlantic this weekend I have just been out to prime them so fair chance I might get them finished.
Tabletop miniature games fall into two groups. Those that are in a constant shift of updates such as bolt action, infinity etc etc so they never really get old. Then you have the ones which are static either they are one hit games normally board game style or they are out of production. Certainly when they fall out of production you cannot buy them in the shops they become old quickly.
Yes to a degree games become obsolete at least personally. I dont feel the need to go back and play the original Blood Bowl Game. Not because it was bad but if I am going to play it I would choose the new edition. Those games still hold a space on the shelve but unlikely they will grace the table again.
I did write my own Fighting Fantasy book when I was about 15. Come to think of it I did back then write a number of D&D campaigns we used to play out. I was not much good to be honest but then without the internet and anyone else to be critical of them I was happy with it.
I do have the best idea for an RPG. Coronation Street the RPG. You get play one of the characters from the street and together with 3-4 others you have to complete daily tasks on the street. Like getting into the Rovers Return to sample one of betty’s HotPots. You have the evil tracy barlow trying to out wit you at every turn.
It is going to have standies and maybe a board of the square you can travel around. I tell you it is going to be amazing if i ever start work on it. Maybe I should do a kickerstarter asking for 3 million to get it off the ground one day.
