A Longer Introduction

So, why not more details! What's this all about? Why am I here?

Basically: I am a person who likes playing miniature war and role playing games. I also like painting the tiny people that are used in said games, though I am terrible at it. Is that silly? Yes it is. Silly things are nice. And these are the sorts of things I am going to talk about here.

What sorts of games am I talking about? For now I'd like to keep it simple. There's Frostgrave, a fun skirmish game involving wizards. And there's Kings of War, a fantasy strategy game that I'm just starting out with.

Getting to kings of war took me a bit. I've always liked historical games; I grew up playing avalon hill wargames with my dad, and when I found out about historical miniature wargames, I thought it sounded like the neatest thing! But I never knew anyone else who felt the same, so while I picked up a box here and there, I never managed to play a game. I painted some guys scrappily, but had nothing for them to do.

Then I heard from a friend about the kings of war historical supplement, and that it included the Thracians, a group I always found interesting! And that friend is willing to try a game or three with me, though they only played the main fantasy game. Well, it was easy from there. I decided to make a Thracian/Kingdoms of Men army, and that is what I am doing now.

Here is where it's begun:

Not much to look at, but it's a start!

Next: More? More!
