Haven’t watched the video yet but Justin in a red shirt …. sounds about right …. poor Justin
Loving these earlier Weekender uploads. Happy Sunday All!
Happy Sunday!!!11!!!!one!!!!
A happy Sunday to you all & a happy Fathers day (in the UK) to all gaming Dad’s out there.
Really enjoying the show.
There are so many options with 3D Printing that would allow for scaling up and down. 15mm for travel and then you could have larger also for home or the club.
@warzan it is awesome that the whole family is enjoying a rpg together. The great thing is there are some excellent games as you children age so that you can keep the topics in their age group. You obviously did something right with all those little games to get them hooked for the long haul.
Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday fellow geeks 😉
Happy Sunday, make it so!
Happy Sunday…!
Happy Sunday
Warren’s shirt needs to be torn, exposing his manly chest. Watchout for the Gorn!
@warzan I´ll be a young dude, A LARP Friend of mine is close to 60yo 😉 You´ll never to old to LARP
Captain Warzan and your crew, well done good job.
Just a quick idea for 15mm D&D dungeon. Using Loyd’s foam Technic , 2in thick foam and pluck away. 2 feet by 2 feet squares foam is $10.00 each. Make the dungeon modal and 3D.
I have been playing with the idea for 28 mm but the foam is just to cost prohibitive, but the idea of going 15mm makes it work. I am stating the project up again thanks for bring the 15mm model range to my attention.
Since you have a 3d printed, Printable Scenery has dungeon tiles that you can scale down for 15mm
I watched chunks of the Hobby Nights, and thought at the time I’d much prefer just seeing yous sat round a table, painting, and shooting the sh*t, than the more structured and themed live show that it was.
Happy Sunday everyone. Having watched the hand gestures of the Commodore in the background who is monitoring your simulation I am not sure you will make it into Star Fleet Academy especially at the end around 1:39 onwards 😀 I think the rebalance of the Hoby Night sounds perfect. I currently have to save it to the weekend but the juggle around works for me and the content being you guys hobbying for yourselves I think is how it should be done. I imagine there are any number of projects you all have which would give a wide and diverse… Read more »
this is the next evolution for bridge simulator (it’s a VR multi-player)

Happy sunday ! @warren I as father of 5 yars old girl would love to see game play or at least a in depts review of your game and adventures, ( i have lack of imagination but would love to play that game with my family) cheers. weekender should be at least 90 min long you cant paint miniature in 45 minutes. 😀
As an old fart of a gamer ( with no kids ), i initially scoffed at the MLPRPG ( but the moment passed ), but it ( and any others like it ) are an ideal way to sit down with your children and immerse them in a beautiful world just chock full of fun. The 15mm Dungeon stuff is looking fantastic, as the guys mention, it just increases the amount of real estate to explore and fight over and is easily transportable. Congrats to all those who won their Golden Buttons, very well deserved. LARPing is an aspect of… Read more »
I can’t believe @dignity wanted to go big game hunting for the Space Whale 🙁 , they are a peaceful species and should be preserved, not hunted for sport. That whole experience looked like a great laugh and i am very jealous.
On 15mm dungeons… or 15mm in general. A minor correction @warzan: 15mm doesn’t double the playing area, it quadruples the playing area.
The weekenders cant last 45 minutes. How can I paint for 12 hours a day with 45 minutes of support???
Do you guys know that Artimus is just a piece of software and you can buy it very cheap and run it on any 5-6 PC? I’d image you already have more than that. I had it running in my living room a few years ago before the missions were fully implimented. We got destroyed by the Crystalline Entity a few times and set up a starship duel by building a second bridge in another room.
I only like 15mm for large scale war gaming. The loss of the use of beautifully high detailed miniatures makes this a no go for me. I’ve accumulated a large collection of gorgeous minis and the immersion factor they provide for dungeon romps are irreplaceable.
I hear you on the beautiful miniatures, though i’ve been persuaded to think about 15mm by the potential for that scale by the miniatures for the coming ‘Joan Of Arc’ game.

Yes , but Ben was saying its mostly due to the portability factor of 15mm that he has started using them.
I assume he will still rpg with 28’s when he can.
I’m aiming to try and use 15mm for the bulk of things going forward although I really love the idea of having a host of fantastic 28mm models to use.
The new WizKids stuff, if it becomes accessible without going out of stock quickly is where I want to test things first and then see what the 15mm collection is like with a Torchbearer campaign.
go whisper. I do like the idea of the friend mechanic. 15mm for RPG’s is a interesting one. it’s all about adding atmosphere and if you did it right a 15mm portable dungeon could be fantastic. personally, I like beautiful, so 32-35 mm would always be my preference. pen and paper on the road but if you want the full experience then i’m hosting. it’s definitely something i’d like to own though and a good excuse to back joan of arc. joan of ach. it would be stunning for Shadows of Esteren, just saying. you would certainly have to get… Read more »
I like the idea of no theme for hobby night live. Be more interesting seeing the bow crew working on their own projects.
On New Hobby Night Live, I think your plan sounds more interesting to me than the current one. There’s nothing wrong with the old format, but I like the sound of this one more.
Plus I’ll get to hobby 😀
And if it means anything I wouldn’t necessarily mind a shit show. Just saying. Judging by the quality of presenters you could argue it’s always been a shit show. : )
