Ep 287: Joe McCullough (Frostgrave/Stargrave/Warriors of Athena/et al)

This week we have our first ever Table of Round chat. I am joined by Heath, Lars, and Smiddy who talk about what they have been playing, painting, and thinking about during the 2026 hobby year. Its a new format for us, we'll see how it goes, I have recorded another, if you like it then let me know and we can add in more to the rotation, I enjoyed doing them, hope you enjoy listening in.

This week I talk to Rob from Fae Miniatures. Fae Miniatures is not only a Youtube channel but also soon to be a rule set and game, we talk about both the channel and the game during the show, along with the usual backstory and development of the hobby from Rob's perspective. Sometimes when I meet someone for a podcast you just instantly know that they are awesome, and Rob was one of those people. I feel I need to mention it here before we start but I call him Rawdogging Rob, and that is because we didnt do any form of pre show chat, we just went straight in, I just feel that I need to clarify that, Rob doesnt infact call himself Rawdogging Rob, not that I am aware of anyway. If you dont know what rawdogging is, then dont worry, but I wouldnt start using it freely down the pub as a "I went into it without much preparation" substitute.   

This week I talk to Petar of Play Support. Play Support helps you with supporting minis for 3d printing and also offers a commission painting service. I had a great time getting to know Petar's hobby journey and we also dive into the painting aspect a little more. It was a interesting chat as usual and we both hope you enjoy it.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/qpE59GV9nq

This week I talk to Anthony of the Gergen games YouTube channel. We do the usual poke around in the hobby past and chat about interesting points as they pop up as we move to the current day and his Youtube activities. It was great meeting Anthony and I hope you all enjoy the show.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/fAhXZZMtbc

This week I talk to Johan, the brain behind the Wyrdcry fan hack that blends Mordheim with Warcry. I enjoy fan hacks a lot, the creativity people show to make them along with the dedication to get them done is brilliant. It also allows us to play games unrestricted by organisations which allows us to be more free with our choices and options, and thats great! It was fun getting to know Johan, thanks to him for coming onto the show, and we both hope you enjoy the chat.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/GXV9pbGGKS

This week I talk to David about all of the reasons why he loves Rangers of Shadow Deep. I wont spoil any of our chat, I'll just say that I also, love the game, and if you havent ever played it then I am sure you most likely have some fantasy minis kicking around that you could use and give it a go. Downloadable PDF versions of the game are available.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/kmQ5vbbbSg

This week I talk to Mr Joe McCullough, who needs no introduction. All I can say is that, as ever, it was a fun and engaging conversation and we hope that you like it. I am sure I speak for all of us when I thank Joe for coming onto the show and just doing all he does to enable us to enhance our nerd-dom.  PATM Discord Link: https://discord.gg/GXV9pbGGKS

I am sorry, we'll try to do better. 

This week I talk to Ryan about all of the reasons he enjoys Halo: Flashpoint, the recent Mantic release that builds upon the Deadzone rule set. Not much more to say in the intro other than that really. It was great to chat to Ryan and get to know him, he is a member of the PATM Discord so if you want to ask him any questions then that is the place to do it.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/GXV9pbGGKS

This week I talk to Ed about all the reasons why he loves Bloodbowl. Ed was on the show in the not so distant past, episode 245 no less, where he came on to discuss why he loves Space Weirdos. So like a wanton strumpet of a gamer, he's back around flagrently flaunting his love for another game! Always fun to talk to a fellow hobby nerd about a game they love, and this is no exception, we hope you enjoy the listen.  PATM Discord: https://discord.gg/eHYTf4Z7t4 Email: [email protected]
