Interview for HOP- David Morgan-Mar

I wrote a series of articles about designing better games for House of Paincakes over the past 2 months or so. While I was working on the process and developing material for the series, I conducted a good number of interviews with various people across the internet, as well as some real life folks.

I love the comment section of the HOP site, and my overall series, Musings of a Game Store Owner. It was in the comments that I was first made aware of this next person, his article and the followup ideas he had were great. David Morgan-Mar of www.irregularwebcomic.net :

No, not that guy. Still cool, though! 

Interview for HOP-hereticwerks

While I was working on the process and developing material for the series, I conducted a good number of interviews with various people across the internet, as well as some real life folks.


This interview was almost entirely due to a conversation I had with Porky. It was  one of those serendipitous situations where one comment brought thought to another; and ideas tumbled forth unbound; all to my surprise. 

Interview for HOP- Thomas Reidy (aka Goatboy)

I wrote a series of articles about designing better games for House of Paincakes over the past 2 months or so. While I was working on the process and developing material for the series, I conducted a good number of interviews with various people across the internet, as well as some real life folks.

This interview features something a little different. When I started writing the series, I had ideas of folks I wanted to talk to-but I knew that to be a good series with interesting flair, I needed to talk to more than my "usual suspects". So I sent out an email asking for ideas on interviewees and this guy's name came up again and again. I was really happy to talk to him, because I like his work so much; and he was a blast to chat with. Here's what Thomas (aka Goatboy) had to say:

Next up is Dave G from Wargaming Tradecraft.

I really enjoyed talking to Dave. From art to mechanics to winning over customers, he had a lot to say -  smart and well considered ideas that are well worth sharing.

In Flames of War, Van Saucken = CREED!!!

Hey folks, SinSynn here.

Just a quick lil' thing before I get all tactical an' stuffs.

Lets say you wanted to jump into FoW as a new player. Here's a good place to start in Late War, as an example-

Grey Wolf Panzerkompanie- 1750 points
HQ- 2 Panzer IV

4x Panzer IV
4x Stug G
4x Stug G
4x Stug G

Warrior Dietrich Van Saucken


If you were to order a single Battlefront halftrack (or the official Van Saucken mini, if you feel the need) from the WarStore, you could get the Version 3 Flames of War min-rulebook for free. Then you go to Easy Army and sign up for the Grey Wolf book for a couple of bucks.
Buy the Stugs and Panzer IV's from Plastic Soldier Company, and this entire army clocks in at less than  150 bucks!

Just sayin.' Not tryin' to corrupt ya, or nuthin' like that...
;)

This army will give your opponents fits, as well. Mainly because of this guy.

*This guy here? A genuine badass*
