Since I became a Pressganger last year I have been focusing a lot of energy, effort, and time on studying rules, investigating formats, and attempting to locate (and afford) unique prizes to help make events fun, interesting, and worthwhile for players. I wrote letters to hobby shops all over PA, Ohio, and New York attempting to let even more players know about what we're doing over here in DuBois. I have visited hobby shops all over this part of PA and dedicated myself to my Pressganger PA Hobby Shop Tour. I have smashed my head against the wall time and time again trying to negotiate with our local game store owner. I have run all over town looking for possible locations for events. So basically what I'm saying is ... I need a short break.
No, not a break from Pressganging. Not a break from the hobby. Just a break from using all my hobby time trying to basically make other people happy and focus on what makes me happy ... and brings me joy.
I've left my poor wee metal soldiers sit unpainted, unassembled, and sometimes unrelieved from their boxes and blister packs. I hear their screams at night, begging for me to free them and play with them. No more, I say! I must press forward. Time to belly up to The Table and start doing some work!
With Legends coming, and Gatehouse Games enforcing a strict policy of "fully assembled, painted, and based" ... I gots to get crackin' on getting my 3 750 point lists ready.
So me and Buddy Christ will be painting, and I'll will log what I get done here for my fellow hobbyists and gamers!
