Very excited to see this summer's The Woods in the Woods get two pages of coverage in Wargames Illustrated 443 - Geoff Solomon-Sims has created a beautiful game and the annual Oakbound Games Day is surely one of the most unique and special events in the gaming calendar. So I was very pleased to see it showcased in Wargames Illustrated - I hope it attracts more players to the game!
And I have to say that I was especially proud to see my White Phooka warband featured - the very first time that anything I've slapped paint on has been in print. Mike Peters took some excellent photos capturing the magic of the day, and although I'm sure my warband featured more for its novelty value than anything else, it's still an exciting moment to see something I've painted in Wargames Illustrated. (Also a bit weird to see me in there rocking the tweed jacket and drinking a cup of tea...)
Here's Mike's photo of the warband - the Phooka themselves are Goat-Kin from Crooked Dice, the goats are sculpts from Duncan Shadow on etsy.
Ah - it was a great weekend and I'm looking forward to playing more of the Woods. I don't know which is more impressive - your wonderful Phookas or the tweed/tea combination! Congrats on getting in to print bud!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great game and I didn't drink that much cider in Harry's at all, as I recall. Next year I'll have to face off against your fishy folk!
DeleteYou certainly lend sartorial elegance (and fabulous goats) to the event!
ReplyDeleteWell, fingers crossed that I'll be there in 2025 as well! On the one hand, I don't think it's a time of year I'm likely to be overseas. On the other hand, I'll need to make up for time overseas with time at home rather than gallivanting around gaming and such. But I think if I can get to one event other than BOYL, this'll be it (especially as BOYL is at a time when there's a danger I'm away)
