Hello All!
Having seen the Twilight game and miniatures over the last 3-4 Salute shows, I finally decided to take the plunge and give it a try! Love the look and 'feel' of the minis (very 'Froud'-like
) and the novel game mechanics are more intriguing than a pure IGO/UGO game (I'm looking at you GW designers!!).
Anyhoo, a bit about me...
I got into mini gaming in the late 80s when I was about 9-10. However, I ended up more collecting minis than gaming when my friends went down the Fantasy gaming route (with WFB) while I was more interested in SciFi gaming. I left wargaming when I left school although I still had an interest (just little or no money to buy!).
I had a hiatus of about 10 years - coming back to wargaming after I was diagnosed with having Depression (long story, but my doctor recommended I find a hobby that I could immerse myself in and not worry about other issues). I still found I couldn't afford much in the way of what I wanted so I started sculpting my own figures and now produce my own line of minis! I also still suffer with depression and find it hard to make friends
(but it helps to admit that rather than just keep on repressing everything)
I don't have a huge amount of free time for gaming, between looking after my 3yo daughter (and another on the way!) and sculpting, but I am aiming to rectify this over time... well maybe!!
I enjoy games that are different, not 'cookie cutter' types and Twilight certainly seems to fit the bill... Now I just need to get other people in the local games clubs to play it too
Other than wargaming I like reading (currently on book 7 I'm reading this year - and that's down on last year!), video games, films - all largely with a scifi slant.
Thanks for reading
Stuart
