Introductions

This blog will serve as a place for my odd interests, namely playing tabletop wargames using everyone's favorite plastic building toys - Lego. I've been a Lego fan for as long as I can remember, but had a dark age of about 15+ years until 2010 when my five year old son found my old tub of Lego in my parent's basement. From that time on, both my son and I have been on a several year Lego kick...much to the dismay of my wife.

My current employment requires me to interview a lot of different people and in early 2011, I had to interview the owner of a local wargaming store. After wandering around the shop and talking to the owner, my interest in wargaming was totally pricked. I immediately went home and began researching. To my amusement, I discoved websites and flickr groups dedicated strickly to gaming with Lego! Now I was really interested! I spend a couple of weeks researching the game system most commonly used, and Song of Blades and Heros rose to the top of the list. I purchased the core system, slapped together some warbands, and figured out how to solo play the game. Since that time, I've purchased all of Ganesha Games other supplements and add-ons and have never looked back.

After messing around with making Lego terrain, I discovered that I really enjoy terrain making in the traditional wargaming sense - i.e. with pink foam and flock. Not to mention that the cost of making a 4x4 table out of strickly Lego terrain is very cost prohibitive.

Hopefully (whether you're a fan of Lego, a wargamer, or both) you'll find something useful and maybe amusing on this blog!

Have fun and play well!
