Wow this has crept up. Its the Third birthday of Brummie's Wargaming blog this week I nearly forgot it was coming up. Checking the hit count its also gone over the 80'000 mark!
How things change over 3 years considering it was all about a single project which was Modern Zombie Apocalypse in the beginning. I'm now on to over half a dozen different projects oh dear lol!
Projects currently on the go.
Modern Zombies
7TV (and other Spy fi)
Empire of The Dead/In Her Majesty's Name
Aliens Vs Predator (15mm)
Across the Dead Earth
Fantasy Skirmish (Otherworld/Song of Blades)
Bolt Action
Relics (More on this at a later date)
That's quite surprised me actually it felt like I had more on the go. I suppose having picked up different sets of rules for the same Periods/Genres makes it feel like a lot more when really they crossover.

The later part of this third year I think has been the best without a doubt. I've made a number of 'Online' friends over the years But this year has seen me meeting a number in the flesh at shows as well as playing some games (and some more planned!) has been simply fantastic.
Being involved with the behind the scenes testing rules on the Across the Dead Earth project has been tremendous fun which is still currently ongoing and has been a great experience.
I'd like to say a big thank you to all who follow my blog and to those who I also speak to via forums and facebook. Your words of encouragement and advice through comments and chats are just such a boost. Your all tremendous people and I love this community that I'm a part of!

You are a big part of the wargames blogging community and I have never heard anyone say anything negative about you or your blog. I hope you can keep going and always enjoy your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Clint! Glad you enjoy them :D
DeleteGreat news Simon!
ReplyDeleteCheers Monty!
DeleteCongratulations Simon, and hear is the next 3 years and 80,000 hits (the latter will take less than 3 years I reckon!). :)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. We shall see! We'll have to do some game reports :D
DeleteCongratulations Simon - your blog is always a good read. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Kaspar!
DeleteCongratulations on the 3rd blogday!
ReplyDeleteI'm half afraid to start listing all the projects/genres in which I'm involved - it might be too sobering to see them all written down in the same place!
Thanks I was actually quite surprised when I rumble around my hobby stores it does seem like more.
DeleteCongratulation Simon !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
Thanks Vincent ;)
DeleteCongrats. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks you András.
DeleteCongrats.. and I suspect I will be joining you in many of those projects now that I am over here in UK. Seems they are very infectious!
ReplyDeleteThanks. If money was no object I'd dread to think what my leadpile and project lists would look like lol
DeleteA very happy blog day and congratulations on the milestone - brilliant work Simon.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Michael. Very kind words
DeleteCongrats Simon. I always find your blog interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteCheers Will. Glad you do :D
DeleteHappy Birthday and congratulations. It's far better to have less on the go. We always get more of what we focus on, when we keep the list short and we get more done!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah indeed. A lot of it cross's over especially rules wise the 7TV, 7ombietv and 7th Voyage give you quite a versatile ruleset for a few things.
DeleteCongrat's Simon!
ReplyDeleteCheers Rodger :D
DeleteCongratulations Simon.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogday dude.
Your blog is always a pleasure to read.
Thanks Bob and likewise I love your Dude Theme.
DeleteWell done that man. It definitely won't take another three years to reach the next 80,000 hits.
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt. Lets hope the hobby mojo doesn't dry up!
DeleteJust three Brummie ? Seems like you've been around forever!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and here's to the next three (or four or five etc.)
Thanks Joe yeah it certainly feels like longer but nope just the 3!
DeleteCongratulations! Thanks to you I am digging out my old Copplestone Future Wars figures and wondering is I can repaint them!
ReplyDeleteThank you good sir! Drop them in some Dettol give them a good scrub and have another crack!
DeleteGreat news mate, thats a lot of hits
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. It quite surprised me I hadn't bothered looking in a while!
DeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Simon!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are doing quite a great job here, it's a pleasure coming back here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Glad you enjoy coming here.
DeleteHuge congrats mate. Your blog was actually one of the influences on me starting mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate. I love blogging its what keeps me motivated. Seeing what others do drives me to do more myself. Glad you found some inspiration mate. I love reading your Blood Bowl reports.

ReplyDeleteThanks Dezmond!
DeleteHappy Blog Day Simon! Congratulations on the milestone yours was one of the first blogs I've ever followed.
ReplyDeleteThanks and Thanks thats nice of you to say :)
DeleteCongratulations Simon! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Buddy
DeleteCongrats old boy, you don't look a day over two!
ReplyDeleteGood on ya, mate. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCheers buddy! I shall certainly try!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Simon, here's to many more celebrations!
ReplyDeleteI think we'd all be surprised about how many projects we actually have on the go. Hobby butterfly feels like it's afflicted all of us but when you really think about it there's probably a hardcore of systems/genre's that stick around.
Either way I look forward to more posts about VSF and post apoc shenanigans!
Ste
Yes indeed! Some also crossover ATDE and Zombie gaming are different sides of the same genre.
