Breaking the Silence - part 2

So as I mentioned last time, we have both been suffering distractions from our projects on the Tale of 2 Gamers blog.

Some of these 'distractions' can now be found appearing on our alternative blog Battling a Lead Mountain, which we set up to run alongside and allow us to start displaying some of our other work without cluttering up To2G with irrelevant or erroneous posts - feel free to take a look and let us know what you think?

Hopefully normal service will be resumed here soon, especially with the promise of our first game before the New Year!

Breaking the Silence - part 1

Ok, so it's been far too long since we (especially me!) posted anything here?

Unfortunately there hasn't been much to show from myself in the way of progress... a SAGA tournament, regular playtesting and some demos of 'Beyond the Gates of Antares' with Rick Priestley and the guys from Warlord Games have all been a distraction - not to mention real life in general, including learning to play guitar and the small matter of getting married!

I also know Carl has been very busy with other things as well, the same SAGA tournament for one thing and a lot of work getting his excellent skirmish rules -
'Open Combat' published - which included painting random historical and fantasy miniatures and terrain for photos in the publication!
Although I'm sure he will be here soon to tell us all about any progress he has made.

How it all started!

Carl and I have been gaming buddies for a number of years now, and we always have a multitude of on-going (and new!) projects on the go!

These two in particular were singled out as they would both be started from scratch, with the specific intention of creating equal forces is 'bite-size' chunks to face each other across the gaming table once ready... much in the style of some old White Dwarf articles that some of you may remember?

Both current projects were started accidentally, as is often the way with our best(?) ideas... in this instance mainly because Carl had discovered a long lost handful of miniatures for both games, and I already had the rulebooks!

What's this all about then?

Welcome to a Tale of 2 Gamers. We've created this blog to track the progress of two tabletop miniature gamers as they tackle new projects from painting through to playing the battles on the table.

Hopefully it'll energise and incentivise us to get a few projects completed rather than simply eulogising about what we're 'going' to do.
