Title: Greetings, adventurers
Post by: evil_scientist on December 28, 2023, 06:57:44 AM

Hello, everybody!
I'm getting back into the miniature painting and wargaming hobby, after a long hiatus of around 16 or 17 years. Back then, I had collected and played Games Workshop stuff. Now there are so many other options and manufacturers available!

I like fantasy and sci-fi. Pure historical gaming is not for me, but I do like "weird historical" stuff, pulp. And one of my favorite things about the hobby is converting minis, so I tend to pick up a couple historicals as well to convert into fantastic settings. 28mm scale. I'm taking things slow, so for now I picked up some Wargames Atlantic and North Star Frostgrave/Stargrave plastics.

I'm into skirmish games, like Song of Blades & Heroes. These tie in well with my main hobby, role playing games.

Welcome back, prodigal son. Happy to see that you brought vocative commas  ;)

There are plenty of skirmish fans hereabouts. It seems to be a golden age for them with plenty of rules and figure options both old & new. Some things that have really caught my eye here on LAF are people’s Mordheim, Five Leagues from the Borderlands and Necromunda/Inquisimunda projects.

What sort of rpgs are you playing?

Mostly D&D (old or "old school revival" editions and variants), some Call of Cthulhu, occasionally some other systems - for example, I recently tried the 2d20 Star Trek game and liked it. I plan to look into the Conan and John Carter 2d20 games.
