Tom has a few updates and insights that have come through his final house pack.

My Rules Are Better

49. Countdown [January 10, 2021]

Tom starts talking about his Alluvial Plains game, the Hunt (somehow the Alluvial Plains game system was missed though the recording). Tom recommends a YouTube channel and talks about the lead pile, specifically the work of Rochie Rochfort. Simulation is not normalized as Tom does it. The Sea Lion updates are a plenty.

48. Catatonic [December 7, 2020]

A returning cat produces a new recording. Tom has some critical feedback from a game with Barney Dicker. Disillusion is the current emotion associated with the lead pile returns. Tom has an announcement associated with next year. Tom explains a little more about his time management which has been documented in industry. Tom waxes philosophically about how to encourage another generation.

47. The Cat Came Back [November 21, 2020]

Tom welcomes back on Barney Dicker to talk about the Just Plain Chaos RPG played online. What is the gestalt of gaming? Operation Sea Lion is discussed and a few other random bits and pieces.

46. Middle Earth Looks Like a Sand Castle [October 28, 2020]

Tom is about to release a recording with Barney Dicker. Before it hits the feed, there are a couple of things that need updates.

Bonus: A Little Gap Filling [October 25, 2020]

Tom reflects on six months since the Pletinckx medals - what has been learnt? Would Tom become a medal collector? Probably not. He's in it for the documents. From a Monty's Reviews, Tom talks about wargaming a more realistic Operation Sea Lion. The lead pile is coming down to a medium distance sprint, perhaps. Through this is a discussion about an upcoming series of moves. What about those Just Plain Chaos games?

45. The Great Escape [September 26, 2020]

Tom has some freedom but freedom isn't free. The lead pile appears to have the fiction of manageability. The JPC game is about to split into multiple different groups but sadly without Barney Dicker going forwards. Tom still wants to find a magazine. Some people will never be happy.

44. Fork in the Road [September 19, 2020]

There are a number of updates that are long overdue.

Bonus. Many Updates [August 30, 2020]

Tom talks about the magazine that got him back into wargming interests. Incredibly costly little thing.

Bonus. UK White Dwarf 274 (October 2002) [July 26, 2020]

Tom explores the range of wood elves that arrived last Sunday and more on the online game.

Bonus. Pickled Elves [July 19, 2020]

Tom starts the recording following the first online session of Just Plain Chaos. He talks about some of the things learnt through the first game and that there was way more pluses than minuses. Through the week Tom also found a pen pal request letter in a long lost magazine and also how he has decided to conclude his miniature interests with some wood elves.

43. Post Game Positivity and Wood Elves [July 11, 2020]

Tom explores some correspondence from Barney Dicker on future rules purchases. He provides a brief lead-pile update and then he tackles the main topic of the recording, how he is preparing material and getting in the mood for the virtual Just Plain Chaos game, starting next week.

42. Neither the Means nor the Motives [July 5, 2020]

Tom is setting up an online game of Just Plain Chaos to test out the new normal.

Bonus. Kicking Off an Online Game [June 28, 2020]

Tom answers a question from longtime collaborator, Barney Dicker.

Bonus. the Chicken and Egg Problem [June 19, 2020]

As I was recording this CSB sent a long message in thanks for his lead parcels. More next recording on this. Otherwise a general update.

Bonus. Clean Storage Room [June 14, 2020]

A podcast about creating your own role-playing game, wargame and board game rules hosted by Tom Barbalet.
