Pretty straightforward really. But enough to provide some tactical depth. You can buy them for free from the Firelock games website.

Fair - I like 28mm (I finished an Ash Waste Nomads Necromunda gang recently and really like the models), but I love the way 15mm looks on the table.

It's probably my favourite scale to work and play with.

I'll just limit myself to Necromunda I thought (knowing my own proclivity towards shiny things). Necromunda gang done, Oak and Iron ships dusted off and painted, I have the new edition of Blood Bowl sitting by my desk, and I'm currently assembling 15mm Gallic chariots for an ancients wargame.

Sigh.

My favourite memory of running board game things with children from when I was a teacher was a child surreptitiously trying to put a meeple from Carcassonne in his mouth.

Like: I know bud, those do look delicious. But...

Here is the article if anyone is curious:

I designed Rascals which uses playing cards - each player has a hand that only refreshes when they change the scene - I wrote some articles about the design goals on my substack. It's still one of my favourite systems that I designed. I think it works well (I'm obviously biased).

Ha! I like this, it would be fun to have a page of notes that were like in-game rumours - using the meta of play to fuel the politics and tension of the game world, but which, at a casual peek, might just look like GM notes.

I don't like GMs who use a screen to project authority. I have a crown, mace, and throne for that - up your fucking game people! 😜

Sometimes I guess there might be things a GM doesn’t want the players to see (maps etc for example). I like GM screens, but have them flat on the table. If they are useful for me to look at they’re useful for everyone else as well! 😂
