It’s been another busy week here as the Too Fat Lardies/ Reisswitz Press machine (OK, Richard Clarke and his dog) gets into gear for the release of the rules on November 18th. Here’s a little note from Richard about the advanced orders:
I’ve run three games of Midgard in the last five days testing new scenarios and am having the weekend off chucking dice, especially as my family would like to see me sometime. However it was a fabulous experience demoing it for Rick Priestley, which you can read all about here.
Richard finished editing and put up a couple of videos with a more fantasy bent, one about Force Creation and the other, the start of a battle between Trolls and Elves based on Poul Anderson’s classic novel The Broken Sword. All these links are on the main Midgard Heroic Battles page of the site along with ordering details (there’s still time to get a pre-order in, which means that you get the PDF for free alongside a hard copy, and will likely get them before the shops).
The Midgard Heroic Battles Official Group on Facebook has grown to over 1400 members during the week as well and there’s a lot of frothing and discussion going on about what people are going to be using the rules for. Join us there if you’re not allergic to Facebook!
Glenn at Warbases has been working hard on putting together a whole range of MDF movement trays suitable for Midgard, which I’ve checked over and approved. Midgard is different to other rules sets in that the basing sizes are highly flexible, but Glenn has done a fine job on making a range that will suit the standard 12cm Spear Throw/ Unit base frontage for the game.
And finally, I’m very excited to be appearing on the Plastic Crack Podcast on Monday at 8pm GMT. This is a 2-hour video podcast on YouTube that’ll be live at 8pm and available to watch as a recording afterwards. I’ll be answering questions and possibly showing some more of my early wargaming photos – let’s see if I can find one with my eighties haircut! You can set a reminder to watch the podcast using the link above.
