Jes Goodwin's contact details?

As I posted over on the Oldhammer forum I'm hoping someone has some contact details for Jes Goodwin. For those too lazy to click over (no judgement) Patrick Stuart over at False Machine has written an interview and I'm trying to help get it to Jes in the hopehe'll be generous enough to answer some (all?) of the questions.

Reasons I/You Should Help Make This Happen

A) Patrick Stuart has some interesting ideas about miniatures and sculpture, lets encourage him to pursue them.

B) He's already done a great interview with the lead designer at Hawk Wargames.

C) His other excellent writings related to sculpture.

If you can help contact me or Patrick, or just give Jes the link to the interview.

Highly Professional Relaunch

(Note, this post was started in January, that should give an indiction of how my year has been going).

Fuck you 2013, I'm glad you're dead.

Last year was pretty shitty all round, with 2014 not getting off to a particularly good start either.

At least I've scraped enough money together to build a new PC so witness the phoenix-like (see, a fantasy reference, stick around and there may be some more in this self indulgent drivel) rebirth of this blog. Gaming is likely off the table (jokes too! how great am I?) as gathering the energy to find opponents/players is way beyond me at the moment.

I have been doing more painting of a variety of things so I'll be getting photos up of some random models. Thanks to discovering the Oldhammer forum I've been able to trade away some unwanted lead for stuff I've always wanted so I've got a nice variety of fantasy and sci-fi stuff to work on.

There are also plans to broaden the blog beyond tabletop gaming, but don't worry, there won't be too much of that.

Have a (poorly photographed) taster!

Hope everyone else is having a good 2014!

Infinity: Insert Pun Here

Wow, well it's been a while since I last posted. Hopefully I can get back up to posting semi regularly over the next few weeks, I have a couple of finished Otherworld minis to show, some WIPs on various D&D monsters and a few 40k bits.

But first...

Race as Class: Skilled Classes

Here are the Skilled Classes, the Specialist and the Gnome.

Fighting classes here, Magic classes here.

Race as Class: Magical Classes

Here are the magic using classes, MU and Cleric.

Fighting Classes here, Skilled Classes here

Weapon Damage: Notches

Some new house rules, adapted from a post by Logan over at Last Gasp Grimoire. He suggested that weapons could take damage (a notch) when the player rolls a 1 or 2 to hit, breaking when they get as many notches as their maximum damage. I thought that was awesome as shit so I promptly stole the idea and ran with it.

Race as Class: Fighting Classes

Finally sat down and wrote up the 8 classes for Ionia that I talked about here. These will replace the existing class and race system, with any new PCs generated using these classes. Magic using classes can be found here, Skill classes here. This first section is the biggest, with 4 variations.
