Greetings to you all
« on: September 13, 2020, 05:36:34 PM »
Hello everybody,

Long time lurker, I finally made an account.
I am the Golem, from France (I live in the region of Brittany). Like everyone here, I am a miniature enthusiast and I probably collect far too many of them for my own good.

I really enjoy to play fantasy games (sci-fi and history games are less my cup of tea).

At the moment, the two games I play the most are Carnevale (the skirmish game set in Venice) and Frostgrave (that I transposed in an egyptian fantasy setting because I just love Ancient Egypt).

Otherwise, I occasionally play other games such as Age of Sigmar, Anima Tactics, Sage: Age of Magic, Song of Blades & Heroes.

Thank you for having me on the forum.

Thanks Oshiro and Golgotha!

Welcome look forward to seeing your Egyptian sand grave.

Glad to hear it! You can already take a look at it on my blog (although it's written in french). My friends and I are approaching the end of our Frostgrave/Sandgrave campaign (2 games left) and we plan to move onto Rangers of Shadow Deep while keeping the fantasy-egyptian background (playing co-operatively really appeals to us). When that time comes, I will open a topic to tell about our adventures. :)

Welcome! I think Carnevale is an under appreciated game and if more people experienced it they’d be hooked. I’m off to look at your blog and question my ability to remember what French i thought I knew. This is an excellent and welcoming forum but it won’t help you limit or control your habit hobby.

Stay safe and well,
BALM

Right I’m back from your blog.    :-* Excellent! your sandgrave is beautiful and very alluring. Brilliant work, keep it up.

Having been a lurker on this forum for quite a while as well before eventually joining I wish you a very warm welcome! This is one of the very few great places to be on the internet!

My French is terrible but the pictures on your blog are great  :D
