Star Squabble gets another wee run out on the table and some rules tweaks.

Several listeners enthusiastically took up the opportunity to tell us about their local hobby store or wargaming club. And here is next month's QotM.

We explore what makes the gaming experience enjoyable for everyone, talking about everything from the art of respecting the miniatures to handling wins and losses gracefully, and even the subtle vibe checks that keep the game fun. Plus, we muse on the rising popularity of quickplay miniature games: Is this a temporary trend, or something that's hear to stay?

A mighty warband has assembled to celebrate a centenary of Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast episodes. On this episode, you'll hear from Jervis Johnson, Andy Chambers, Trish Carden, Gav Thorpe, Joe McCullough, Tuomas Pirinen, Mike Hutchinson, Alessio Cavatore, and Rick Priestley!

Dan of Paint All The Minis fame joins me for a chat about going deeper on fewer games, podcasting, and turning 40. Mentioned: my sci-fi undead warband

Necromunda with Napolien? Frostgrave with Florence Nightingale? Battlemasters with Barry Gibb? Our question of the month for September 2024 was: Which person (dead or alive) would you love to play a miniatures game with, and why? Also, what game would you play?

Dungeons & Dragons at Work is a blog by this week's guest, Tom. "I’ve been playing roleplaying games since the 80’s and love the freeform storytelling that results. There is real joy to be found sitting round a table with your friends rolling dice and creating adventure. Over time I’ve observed that the skills I practice, running and playing these games port well into the real world."

Mark and I sat down to chat (that's not even true—I was standing up) about wet palettes, manticores, and Wetherspoons toilets. Also mentioned: GoFundMe Page Supporting Paul Sawyer & Family

The question of the month for July 2024 was about your favourite hobby content channels. The response was initially slow, but we got a lot of feedback and recommendations in the end. There are many podcasts, YouTube channels, and blogs mentioned here, and you'll never be stuck for a hobby content fix again! And here's the link for next month's QotM while we're at it.

Our question of the month for May 2024 was, "What rules have you created or adapted to improve your favourite gaming system?" "This might be a homebrew rule or something you’ve ported over from another game. The point is, you tried it, it worked well, and you kept on using it."

It’s embarrassing to think that the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast has hit 80+ episodes without having Mike Hutchinson on. That said, it was well worth the wait, and the timing was definitely right, with lots of cool new projects in the pipeline. Mike’s hobby origin story, as well as his thoughts on Gaslands and A Billion Suns, have been well-covered elsewhere. For an excellent fix on that front, I’ll point you to two episodes of the Paint All The Minis podcast (here and here). And,...

The question of the month for April 2024 was around introducing Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar players to non-Games Workshop games. How did you do it, what did you play, and what was the response? And, the question of the month for May 2024 is: What rules have you created or adapted to improve your favourite gaming system? This might be a homebrew rule or something you’ve ported over from another game. The point is, you tried it, it worked well, and you kept on using it. Submit your answer...

If you’ve come across 28 Magazine before, you’ll know about its striking aesthetic, stunning artwork, and incredible photography. On this episode of the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast, I’m joined by editor Sampsa Nylund to find out more about 28, not just as a magazine, but as a community. There’s also an audio battle report of a slightly homebrewed version of Song of Blades & Heroes. I set the scene for this scenario a few weeks ago, and it was time to get down to it and roll some dice.

Our guest this week is Kevin from our Discord community, who talks about his hobby origins going up in smoke and then returning years later via his young son. He also enjoyed a career sculpting for TV sets and designing costumes, and we talk about the overlap between this and the tabletop miniature hobby.
