9: Midwinter Minis

Will is joined by Guy of Midwinter Minis. Buckle up because this one gets into the weeds, as well as including a couple of zesty Dice Thrower exclusives. We talk about: Monster In My Pocket; the trials of long hair; asking how many boxes of a limited edition pre-order is too many?; why modern stuff is rubbish; and the importance of rating things in a spreadsheet. Plus some stuff about, you know, Warhammer. Enjoy! Get in touch • Instagram // @dicethrower_ • Email // [email protected]

Will is joined by Rob and Brendan of Realm of Fire. They talk about pretty much everything: Games Workshop in 2021; favourite snacks; the importance of context and nuance; how not to be a chud; and life, the universe, and firearms. Enjoy!

Will talks with Ian about his path into all things Games Workshop and a whole rogue trade’s worth of other stuff: writing stories to explain toy soldiers; the “sanctity” of lore; novel lockdown methods of transport; and wondering where all the satire has gone.

Will talks with Henry and Jamie of the Human Energy Field about their road into role-playing games and a whole source book’s worth of other stuff: having gnarly teachers; whether or not Will is a lizard; the merits of the Human Energy Field Discord; how D&D is bad but also good; whether Henry and Jamie actually exist; and of course staying grateful and hydrated.

Will is joined by Ager and The Business Goblin to talk about how they became part of tabletop gaming’s answer to D Generation X, plus a whole pizza box of other stuff: Conor McGregor posters; how Gorilla Biscuits invented ska; microdiggers; “down and dirty swashbuckling in a swamp”; and why you should probably be listened to Dungeonpunx instead.

Will talks with Eric of Eric’s Hobby Workshop about his journey into miniature terrain and a whole bitz box of other stuff: the pressures of YouTube content creation; who fletches the arrows for Brettonians?; breaking free from chasing the meta; and who is the monster when a monster fights a monster?
