Title: New to the forum
Post by: AndyT on 22 April 2014, 07:48:50 PM: Hello

Thank you for allowing me to join this forum. It looks like a real good 'un.

A quick bio: I am a father and grandfather (but much too young for that really) based near Bristol (southwest UK).

I tend to paint miniatures and read about wargaming much more than I actually play so I have ended up with a bookcase full of rulebooks, many of which I have never played (or at least not yet!)

I sometimes fund my gaming hobby by selling painted miniatures and the Dystopian Wars range has been very good for me in this respect. I have put together a couple of forces for "In Her Majesty's Name" and I hope to one day get them painted and ready to play.

My other gaming interests include wargames such as Ronin, DBA, Eden, Uncharted Seas, Hordes of the Things, plus board and card games such as Wiz War, Frag and Robo Rally.

I think I'm going to like it here...... 8)

Cheers, Andy

A lot of us are "Rules collectors" so you'll fit right in.

Hopefully you´ll get some motivation exploring all the shiny places around here as to actually play some games.

May you have a long and merry stay with us.

I have over 3800 rulebooks for wargames and RPG's on my laptop. You don't know the half of rules collecting. o_o

(I thought I was a rulebook collector too, but judging by YPU's post, I'm not. 3800?! o_o)

Post by: TheBlackCrane on 26 April 2014, 10:58:40 PM: Most kind, though I must admit to being rather slow to paint, and even slower to actually upload any pictures!
