Well, as you can see, I've done a lot with me blog since May !!!!
But I feel the need to get going with me rambles, so Ill try to update things a bit more often.
Lets talk gaming shop - or rather the idea of a gaming shop. I've had in my mind for some time that I would like to own a 'bricks and mortor' gaming shop, and by coincidence I was watching a show on BBC 2 called 'All over the shop' and low and behold - it featured a gaming store.
The shop in question was 'Southsea Models and Games' in (you've guessed it) Southsea. It was run by a gamer called Marshall who'd been there for the past 22 years or so.
Never one to miss a coincidence, I thought this might be a sign from the heavens or something (poss the Gods of Chaos maybe), and I wasted no time in giving Marshall a ring to see if he would let me picks his brains on the whole subject.
And to Marshall's credit, he was more than willing to answer whatever questions I had. So off I goes to Southsea to visit him - I figure if the guy is willing to give me his time then the least I can do is meet him face to face and shake his hand.
To cut a long story short, it was time very well spent, with the result that I probably wont be looking to open a games store any time soon - but for those of you lucky enough to live near (or in) Southsea, Marshall's shop is brilliant, and I would urge you to give it a visit.
Whilst I was there I picked up a copy of 'The Inquisitors Handbook' for Dark Heresy. I'm looking to take part in a game in the near future, and cant wait!
I've also started reading the Eisenhorn omnibus for inspiration.
Ok - time to start coming to a close for this session.
Business wise, yes, I know I've still got to list lots of stuff on the site - especially the fantasy and LOTR ranges - sorry, I will get round to it (someday!)
And I need to post lots more pictures of stuff, but I don't worry about that too much, as most of my customers know what they are after anyway.
And Ill try to blog more - honest.
All the best and mnd how you go
