Blood on the Streets. Two Shelves of Gaming - Episode 6.

It's been a while! Everyday life has meant I've not been so active with my efforts to get another podcast together so I thought it was high time I got my finger out and recorded something. The candidate for this episode is Games Workshop's 1985 product 'Blood on the Streets'. A great little package designed for the Role Player or Wargamer to use how they please. I'm a big fan of this period of gaming or Old School Gaming as it's known, particularly Warhammer as it seems to hark back to a time when wargaming was a low intensity fun hobby. Not the crushing business model it has since mutated into. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate businesses need to sell product to survive, but the near constant rules update, army list revisions etc. ad nuseum are things that send a shiver through my gaming soul. Just give me a handful of minis, some simple scenery, dice and that's enough for me. I also like this product, and its ilk, as there is humour a plenty throughout its pages. Something that seems to have been shoved aside with brutalist depictions of steroid pumped warriors wearing skull adorned cod pieces. Before you press play, one error requires highlighting. I make reference to Bill Pertwee in this episode, please be advised I in fact meant John Pertwee aka the 3rd Doctor Who. Enjoy.
