From time to time, our obsession with one hobby waxes, while another one wanes. Sometimes we juggle them, and sometimes we find a way to incorporate all of our passions into one physical space. But, however we manage it, each of those hobbies stays alive and kicking as any true hobby should. We think of this interlinking network of hobby skills as our "Hobby Ven Diagram"; showcasing areas of expertise and excitement that touch on the others just by their very nature.
Take our love of Magic: The Gathering for example. It's inextricably linked to our love for fantasy fiction and thus ties into our excitement for roleplay gaming. The two as far as we are concerned are inseparable; the same applies to our passion for wargaming, and this obviously links in to our love of board games and comics. It all comes back around to the beginning again to our roots; a love for fantastical and mysterious worlds for us to explore and get lost in.
War-gaming, board gaming, TCGs, LARPing, roleplay gaming, among many others, whatever combination it is you enjoy, they all share your creative spark, and sometimes this can be difficult to organize and manage internally because each one takes up a lot of thought space and holds our interest for hours on end. Here at RGHQ we can't let our love for any of it slip. So our space here is a cornucopia of creativity...
Lately I've been busy on some 28mm scenery, the urge to make something in a more tactile way and have my tools about me comes fairly often, and I often have to shoehorn it in if I am due to run a D&D or Warhammer session and we're in dire need of a particular piece. This time around there was no pressure to complete something, and I just went with my own inspiration. A shed? Sure why not. So I began. Cardboard, filler, coffee stirrers (any excuse to get me a Cortado!) and a whirlwind of slicing, breaking, heating and gluing later I was left with this, somewhat less shed-like building:
Pleased with the structure and the feel I eagerly turned to a dervish of paint, sand rocks and brass etched foliage (amid the turmoil I found a giant rat from Warhammer quest handily within reach which I snagged up). Afterwards, I was left with this finished 28mm Ammo store, ready for gaming.
So, I guess whilst we all have our hobbies, some of us just one, some of us a plethora, it's nice to just let our imaginations and creativity run riot, whether it's a 28mm shed-turned-ammo store you've built, a janky deck you've assembled for next week's FNM or a superb army killing chaos lord you created to leave your Warhammer opponents rueing the day they agreed to play 4th edition Warhammer with you, it's great to see your creations come to life.
Until next time, happy gaming!
