It was so good to hear from Nigel. I still have the original "Stillmania" white dwarf, plus his book on making wargames terrain. It's good to know he's a big fan of Frazetta and Conan (as am I). I was wondering, would it be possible to put me in touch with Nigel? Two years ago I started writing my own 9th ed warhammer army books and recently I've completed a book for Mousillon, which I'd like to give him (I always loved his 5th ed Bretonnian book). I'd also like to talk to him about oldhammer and some of the plot threads that got dropped later onMattBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715860627829184616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208972474813089.post-19708050991415226512017-03-08T05:07:41.753-08:002017-03-08T05:07:41.753-08:00No problem Duane!

I particularly like the idea of not "overdeveloping" rules and of the conflict between the commercial drive of releasing new rules versus keeping a ruleset active to accommodate the players actually building their armies and learning the game.
