In a non game related way the last year has been tough to say the least with the death of my dad, moving house and then eventually facing the fact I needed some help for anxiety and depression, but I think I'm back on and even keel again and able to focus on having gaming hobby fun.
I won't harp on about mental health, I wouldn't want to sound sanctimonious or all expert about the subject but I would like to make it clear that the help I had from my doctor has really changed things for the better and not only for me but those around me. So as the adverts say, its ok to not be ok and as I did don't think that the problems caused by stress are a sign of weakness in your character, reach out for some help. If you have a friend who you think might be struggling, listen and talk, it really does help.
Any way enough of my preaching stuff, what has been happening hobby wise??
- I have finished painting the core box of Mythic Pantheon by Monolith. It really is a miniature heavy game but they are really nice to paint. The bad news is I've now started on the stretch goal box and there are about 300 more in the paint queue.
- I've been converting and painting up matchbox and hot wheel toy cars for Gaslands, a kind of Madmax post apocalyptic car racing and shooting game. Making the cars is great fun but I haven't had a chance to play the game yet!
- Lots of board gaming as usual and also played some older less cult of the new euro games which were really good. Fried my brain with T'zolkin and less so with Notre Dame, both older but very good games. Moral of the story is don't miss out on these games just because they are older, keep an eye out because I picked up Taj Mahal for £3 at a convention!!!
