After my failure to make it all the way to Hobby Streak Day 1000, I am proud to now be back up to Day 100. And this hobby streak report is a little different than some of the recent ones. Here I undertook a project for the holidays, as well as started playing a couple…
Miniwargamer Matt
On December 1, 2017, I sent an email to Matthew Glanfield (Miniwargamer Matt) with the subject line “Your Show Saved My Life”. And I wasn’t kidding or exaggerating. I’ve mentioned before on this site that I deal with chronic illness, specifically schizophrenia. And there have been times in my life when I just didn’t…
I bought Majestic 13, the newest game from Snarling Badger studios, on the day it was released but I've held off on a Majestic 13 review until I had some time to play through several solo scenarios. And that's what the game is targeted at: it's a solo game first and foremost, though there are…
I had held off on getting into SPQR for quite a long time because I had heard some negative things about it (things I’ll talk about later). But after getting into it, and realizing that I was already in a position to dive really deep, I can say that I love this game. Warlord Games…
The 2023 Ovelist: Well this turned out to be a different result from what I expected. I was fairly sure that I had done a good job of making my hobby goals a reality, but when it comes down to it, I'm not even batting .500.

Amazon is seen by many people as a great thing–they make so many things easily accessible to so many people at great prices. But they’re also seen as a villain. This probably has something to do with the fact that they’re one of the biggest companies in the world, as well as the many reports…
Brandon Sanderson, the huge bestselling author of the Stormlight Archive and Mistborn series, is involved in two projects related to miniatures. Both of them are very cool, but they are both very different.
Brandon Sanderson and I have been friends for more than 20 years. I was in Brandon's writing group (along with my brother,…
I have been in the wargaming hobby for (I think) 35 years now. I got into it when I was nine and somehow got my hands on a copy of Wargames Illustrated, and I never looked back.
Well, that’s not true at all. Over the course of those 35 years I have looked back plenty,…
So this flies in the face of the last article I wrote about Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings models, which basically said that the models were very large, giving me a little breathing room to paint them with shaky hands. And yes, I like that. But as I've tried to make my way through…
