Paint All The Minis Paint Ramble

In this episode, I speak to Robert Salters who writes mini-agnostic rule sets. You hear about them in the show, but the one you may know of most is Battlespace, an ultra-modern solo/co-op rule set with some interesting mechanics, which you will hear about in the chat. It was fun to talk to Robert, and I thank him on our behalf for taking the time to chat.

In this episode, I speak to Dave Taylor the Publisher extraordinaire. Dave finds miniature painters who are interesting and who he feels are deserving of a spotlight in which to express their ethos and skill. These books are called The Art Of and you can do a bit of a search for them if you want and see if they tickle your fancy. I think Dave is an interesting guy and it is an interesting concept so check it out if you want. Check out ep 177 for a little more insight into Dave and his history, we dont talk about it in this show, so maybe refresh by listening to that before you slide the whip off the underpants of this episode.

Yo, Just a bit of hobby chat. A hobby shart of a convo fer'yer.

In this episode, Peter, Jon, and Erika discuss details of what to expect at the PatM stand at 2023's Salute show, to be held at London's ExCel Centre. Get your tickets here: https://www.seetickets.com/tour/salute-50

In this episode I speak once again to Travis from the Tabletop CP YouTube channel. Travis is a friend of the show and we spoke in Ep 160 about Travis’ love for Chain of Command and also about the early years of Tabletop CP, so you can listen to that first if you would like. In the episode we chat about Bond, hobbying, his love of painting horses, and general health & diet, plus also plans for Tabletop CP. I enjoyed my time talking to Travis and appreciated him coming back onto the show!

In this episode I speak Mr Casey Madden, a hobby nerd just like you and me. We shoot the breeze about being an average nerd, about completion, and about items we use. Always fun to chat to a fellow nerd and it was a blessing to speak to such a stand up fellow such as Casey.

In this episode I speak to Mr Scott Radom, a long serving Paint All The Minis page member, awesome painter, and positive contributor. We talk about his roots in Canada, his early playing & tournament experience, his move into trying to paint his minis at a higher level and most, most, importantly his profile picture. It was a pleasure talking to Scott and getting to know someone you have e-known for such a long time but never had a super long actual conversation with. Its a bit weird at times in the modern world isnt it. You can end up with friends who you never never physically seen, with names like Swampwombat34 or whatever. So it was nice to talk to Scott for a full episode and pad out more of the fuzzy image I had of him. I hope you guys are all ok and doing well. Dont forget to reach out and message if you feel the need, its always nice to connect with you all. If you want to have a sniff around our Discord server then just email paintalltheminis@gmail.com and you can come and participate in our weekly quiz, weekly online league, monthly painting activity and loads more. Its the full package of caring for our fellow nerds.

In this episode I speak once more to the awesome Dave Baker of Trenchworx. Trenchworx work out of Utah in the US and A and help companies create and produce minis for their games along with doing an awesome range of their own. If you want to hear more about history and initial steps from trenchworx then go back to Ep 120 and you can hear from Dave when we met for round one. In this episode we talk about their new venture into releasing STL files for 3d printing and also 3d printing in general. 3d printing is a new thing for me that I very recently started to discover. I will be doing some episodes over the next weeks and months talking to people in this area as it is an area that has been growing and developing over recent history and its pretty cool.

Hey, In this episode a joint venture with Matthew from Bedroom Battlefields ( https://bedroombattlefields.com/about/) we chat about common reasons why we cant play and some things we can all do to play as we see fit.

We talk about our feelings and observations about Kickstarter, we recorded this on our PATM discord server (email paintalltheminis@gmail.com if you want in to this) and my job in the chat was to voice my own ideas on KS but also to play devils advocate at times and tease out Zach’s ideas and views. It was an interesting conversation and one I feel we all need to have with ourselves if we havent already as personal control and knowing yourself is critical if you are going to make more decisions that you believe to be correct than otherwise. Knowing what you like/dont what makes you feel good/doesnt is imperative so that we aren’t used as a tool by others for their own intended aims. We tried to make the chat balanced, positive, and insightful, giving us both, and possibly yourself food for thought about your own antics and actions, but that is up to you isnt it. It doesnt matter what I say and do, that doesnt affect you, it all comes down to you, and if you are happy then do that, if you aren’t then try something else. I will leave it there as I dont want to tread on the episodes toes, as mentioned already if you want to talk about more stuff like this then grab your space hopper and bounce on over to the PATM discord as I always value external input when figuring out my own direction on things.

In this episode I speak to Kelly who talks to use about DnD, about character creation, evolution, and representation on the tabletop. This is another show I recorded ages ago, sorry to Kelly for how long it took to come out, it bears no reflection on my enjoyment of the conversation.

Hello and welcome to episode 210 of the paint all the minis paint ramble podcast. The show where we strip everything back and just have a relaxed chat with someone who’s as into the hobby as you are, In this episode I speak to Nick Komarev a normal hobby man just like you and me. We talk about his hobby journey and his love of Star Wars Armada. I’m releasing this now as he just posted about his vasectomy on our discord, so I thought he can listen to this whilst his nads get better. Put some ice on them Nick and all will be well.

I talk with Jon Harrington about planning and prepping for the Paint All The Minis stand at Salute 2021, how the pandemic forced us to create PATMOCON, and our general level of excitement for exhibiting at a convention in person.

In this episode I speak to Andy, aka the beard, aka The Beardclipper of the beard clipper YouTube channel. Its a YouTube channel that genuinely reflects one man’s journey into and through this amazing hobby. The best chats I have are always with people of genuine care and passion and Andy is certainly one. The intro is brief as I wont lie, this episode has been sitting in the podbank for aeons and its about time it has its 10 minutes in the sun, I must apologies profusely to Andy for not releasing sooner, it is no reflection of my thoughts on his episode, I just stepped away at the time it was due to be released. I hope you enjoy!

Heyyyyy, It's been too long, you bunch of Mother'lickers!! Matt hit me up to have a chat on his show about our hobby time, how we find it, when should we hobby, and how much. Thanks to Matt for the invite plus also suggesting we could put it up on our regular stream too. You can find his podcast here: https://bedroombattlefields.com/tmhpodcast/seasonal-hobbying-passion/ If you want so save yourself some time then: Find the time as you can, make yourself do it, unless that harms you, in which case dont do it, but dont then moan! haha, but ultimately just do what you want. Oh, I also have a bit of a vent on content production, whilst also being incredibly respectful of how hard it is to create content and also who am I to poo poo it! Enjoy, hope to be back chatting more in the future, I miss you all, but not you...you I dont miss. Dan.xxx

In this episode, I talk to Michael from Oathsworn Minis about Burrows & Badgers, Sensible shoes, and some old dwarves and ponies. We also discuss the July PaTM themed painting challenge and announce a winner! Keep Paintin'!

In this slight departure from the normal programming, Peter talks to Eric and Chris from Polyglot Studios about their current epic Kickstarter 'miniatures' project, Cthulhu Rises. Summon the beasts from the deep and get some insight into launching a project like this...

In this episode I speak with Tom Greenway of Goblin King games about his upcoming Kickstarter campaign to expand Moonstone. Lucky, then, that it’s been Moonstone May all month on the Paint all the Minis Facebook group! Come and see what all the fuss is about at facebook.com/paintalltheminis

In this episode I speak to Foust the creator of VFI a company that works with games creators and publishers to make Asia and other places around the world more accessible for their games. In kickstarters especially it is sometimes a drag to get the games you want because of shipping costs, customs paperwork, and taxes. Foust is working to alleviate a lot of these issues and allow more people to play more games for less money, a modern day super hero!!! We have the usual chat about hobby and background along with insight into what he does, why, and how. It was a pleasure speaking to him and getting to know him, just today infact I received a new unmatched expansion and some Stormcrow Dervishes for A Song of Ice and Fire, thanks! I hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode I speak to Brian of the Weird World War II YouTube channel. Brian is a big fan of what he refers to as ‘Free Range Gaming’, which is in essence making the game fit you instead of you fitting to the game. It is a refreshing concept and his whole demeanour is one of positivity and experimentation. If you havent checked out Weird World War II as a YouTube channel then do so if you listen to Brian and appreciate his ethos. We have the usual ramble around the hobby and it was a fun chat, we both hope you enjoy.
