Well hello there, it's been almost two years since last I posted here. In that time I've been hard at work, both in a very literal sense professionally and in the much less important hobby sense. Jornath and the wider Vahland sector have been very much progressing in the time I have been away from Skies of Flies, Ground of Rust.
Many thousands of Orks, Guardsmen, and countless others have perished in the many ferocious battlefields of the 41st Millenium and in countless other settings. Perhaps the most exciting update in this period is the founding of Grey Mountain Gaming, which is a fledgling gaming club in the heart of North Carolina's Triad area focusing on narrative wargaming. I and the other members of GMG are old hats at this point in the hobby and looking to normalize the style of narrative gaming we have enjoyed within the wider hobby space, both in the traditional blog formats and in the video space.
To digress from the hobby for a moment, in the past two years I have broken up with my long-time girlfriend, moved house, and been promoted twice in my career. I've learned quite a bit, about my personal values and about the direction that I want to move in as a professional. That being said, I think that for the forseeable future, I would like to use this space to encompass a variety of my interests and thoughts on a whole spectrum of topics not just specific to miniatures gaming. I hope that those of you who still visit this place will find that interesting. Ultimately, I've been writing here on Skies of Flies, Ground of Rust since I was in middle school, this blog has become for me a very real chronicling of my life and interests. I want to lean into that more, I hope you'll all enjoy things as they develop.

Until next time,
Your Favorite Madman,
Good to see you haven't forgotten about the old hobby stomping grounds. You know I'm always excited to see what you're doing. Keep it up my guy.
ReplyDeleteA post on SFGR and the first thing here is a post by ol' "Sippin' on Paintwater"; I suppose the blogosphere doesn't get more idomatic than this. Great to see Impcommander on here again, the Jornath Campagin has given so much to the war on Devos IV, for which I am greatfull. Always good to hear from fellow bloggers and yes, as we, erm, mature, there is a certain level of interest in each others lives beyond blogwarz.
ReplyDeleteI have toyed with the idea of abandoning the Devos IV blog, but have decided that it actually makes the best place to keep all of the Devos IV stuff until such time as I manage to organise it and pdf it. Maybe even self publish the campaign book like Col Scipio did for his (Mordian) Iggies.
North Carolina eh ? Not too far from Teenneessee...
I would request a copy of that pdf were you to make one mate.
DeleteIm hoping the blogosphere comes back into favor with more people getting in to warhammer and exploring the wider wargaming hobby. Its felt more rewardingly solid to me than youtube videos or other types of media like instagram. I would love to see a published hard copy of the Devos IV campaign! It's been a long time inspiration!
DeleteLovely to see you posting again.
ReplyDeletepart of blogging on our real lives as well as our hobby exploits offers our readers opportunites for reflection on our own lives and how our hobbies mesh (Or don't) with them, offer us therapy of sorts and give us glimpses at a more real version of a blog's author rather than "Collector/painter/gamer X".
I look forward to seeing what your new group gets up to sir.
Thank you! I'm glad you are still reading and checking in. Exactly my thoughts, it's like a journal, getting to look at old games or projects recalls times and events surrounding them in time and I thought it could be nice to more directly tie some of those other experiences in to the hobby blogging more formally.
