I may be running vaguely parallel to the other bloke here, in still discussing GMing games. Given that I’m writing about RPGs, there’s a limited field here. So, GMing, the art of running a role-playing game for the enjoyment and satisfaction of your group. Ok, there are a hell of a lot of RPGs, lots … More Similar but not the same…
Today, gentle readers, another Kickstarter has begun. It’s for a game called Wild West Exodus. If you’re interested, it’s here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestexodus/wild-west-exodus-unfinished-business?ref=nav_search Well, Kickstarter seems to be more and more involved in our industry of gaming. In a way, it’s perfect for what we do; you have prototypes and concept art before the big release, there’s a … More Vroom vroom!!!
OK, as we’ve previously gathered on this series of ramblings, we’ve been doing this a long time. Sure, some people along the way have ‘grown out of it’, but not us. It led me thinking, is gaming changing with technology, and if so, is that a good thing? When I started out, it was paper, … More The future’s bright…
What’s your game of choice, gentle readers? Wargames? RPGs? Charades? So many games and so little time. I’m thankful to be a _____gamer. By which I mean I’m the kind of gamer of whatever game I’m playing at the time. I don’t mean to suggest that I’m fickle in any way, I just like lots … More So many games
EXPLANATORY NOTE – GM = GAME MASTER, PERSON WHO RUNS THE SESSION,CAMPAIGN,ETC, OK? GMing. A specialist part of a specialist hobby. If you’ve got to be ‘different’ to role-play, you’ve got to be especially so to want to actually run a game. On first thought, it can sound great. You are god, you control everything. … More The perils of being a GM (or what’s the point)
I’m sure you’re tired of our ramblings by now, gentle readers, but there is no escape short of going off the grid. Perhaps a survivalist camp with no internet, one thousand cans of beans and some goats to keep you warm (because you can wear their skins, you perverts!). Yes, there’s more of our YouTube … More It can’t be stopped!
It’s funny – role-playing gets some stick in the USA from fundamentalists, in that you can worship devils etc. If only they knew. You’ve got to assume that the reason this genre is left alone, is that so few people indulge.I know you can play console games which basically consist of your character murdering people … More Ethics?
Today, gentle readers, is a day to express how you feel. Love is in the air, or it may just be the pungent musk of a Fiend of Slaanesh (more likely it’s Mr Straw’s overpowering aftershave, “cough-splutter”). Whichever, I wish to express how we, here at The Battlehammer, feel about our followers. Something akin to … More Red flowers? Kharn the Betrayer’s been at the gardening again.
Believe it of not, gentle viewers, there is more of the crime against YouTube that is us. Again, it’s fully unedited rambling so please don’t judge us too harshly (or we’ll find you and kill you). There’s a bit more of an explanation as to how we got into creating our set of house rules … More Part the Second
I know what you’re thinking, gentle readers, “Please, for the love of God, NOOOOO!”. I’m afraid so, The Battlehammer (THE site of gaming goodness), now has a YouTube channel. Prepare for the fun of gouging out your own eyeballs just to make it end. Our first video is just an artistic experiment of what is … More It’s OurTube now!!!
